* Introduction

What is Human Resource Management?

HRM is the management of the people who work in an organisation.

Personnel Management as it was known previously dealt with welfare

roles such administering the pay system, holidays and pension scheme,

running the employees' medical service and organising social and

sports facilities.

Nowadays the job of managig people is regarded as being more

complicated and wheras the personnel manager's main concern was

centred on how to look after the employees and keep them as satisfied

as possible. What you find these days is that there is much more

involvement in how to get the most value out of employees for the

benefits of the organistion. This means that human resource managers

now work much more closely with other managers in production,

marketing and finance areas.

Human Resource Planning

=======================

What is Human Resource Planning?

Human Resource Planning (HRP) is the process of forecasting the

workforce requirements of the business for future years. It looks at

how many employees the business will require in the future, as well as

the type of employee that will be required (e.g. graduate trainees,

skilled-manual and supervisors). HRP also ensures that the 'right'

employee is in the 'right' job, to ensure maximum efficency and

effectiveness of the workforce.
