INTRODUCTION HRM is concerned with the human beings in an organization. “The management of man” is a very important and challenging job because of the dynamic nature of the people. No two people are similar in mental abilities, tacticians, sentiments, and behaviours; they differ widely also as a group and are subject to many varied influences. People are responsive, they feel, think and act therefore they can not be operated like a machine or shifted and altered like template in a room layout. They therefore need a tactful handing by management personnel.
HRM is the process of managing people of an organization with a human approach. Human resources approach to manpower enables the manager to view the people as an important resource. It is the approach through which organization can utilize the manpower not only for the benefits of the organization but for the growth, development and self satisfaction of the concerned people. Thus, HRM is a system that focuses on human resources development on one hand and effective management of people on the other hand so that people will enjoy human dignity in their employment.
Definitions of HRM “It is the process of managing people in organizations in a structured and thorough manner.” “The HRM is the process of attracting, holding and motivating all manager line and staff.”(7) - Dunn and Stephens
OBJECTIVES OF HRM 1. To help the organisation to attain its goals effectively and efficiently by providing competent and motivated employees. 2. To utilize the available human resources effectively. 3. To increase to the fullest the employee’s job satisfaction and self-actualisation. 4. To develop and maintain the quality of work life (QWL) which makes employment in the organisation a desirable personal and social situation. 5. To help maintain ethical policies and behaviour inside and outside the organisation. 6. To establish and maintain cordial relations between employees and management. 7. To reconcile individual/group goals with organisational goals.
Werther and Davis have classified the objectives of HRM into four categories as shown in the following table
IMPORTANCE OF HRM 1) Attract and retain talent 2) Train people for challenging roles 3) Develop skills and competencies 4) Promote team spirit 5) Develop loyalty and commitment 6) Increase productivity and profits 7) Improve job satisfaction 8) Enhance standard of living 9) Generate employment opportunities.

HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT IMPORTANCE/OBJECTIVES DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HRM AND HRD
CONCEPT OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT HRD is the part of human resource management that specifically deals with training and development of the employees. Human resource development includes training an individual after he/she is first hired, providing opportunities to learn new skills, distributing resources that are beneficial for the employee's tasks, and any other developmental activities. Human resources development (HRD) refers to the vast field of training and development provided by organizations to increase the knowledge, skills, education, and abilities of their employees.
OBJECTIVES/IMPORTANCE OF HRD 1. HRD Develops Competent HR 2. HRD Creates Opportunity For Career Development 3. Employ Commitment 4. Job Satisfaction 5. Change Management 6. Opportunities For Training And Development 7. Performance Improvement

HUMAN RESOURCE PLANNING
HUMAN RESOURCE PLANNING CONCEPT OBJECTIVES/IMPORTANCE PROCESS OF HR PLANNING FACTORS INFLUENCING HR PLANNING ADVANTAGES OF HR PLANNING LIMITATIONS OF HR PLANNING
HUMAN RESOURCE PLANNING-CONCEPT Human Resource Planning (HRP) is the process of forecasting the future human resource requirements of the organization and determining as to how the existing human resource capacity of the organization can be utilized to fulfil these requirements. It, thus, focuses on the basic economic concept of demand and supply in context to the human resource capacity of the organization.
OBJECTIVES OF HUMAN RESOURCE PLANNING 1. Ensure adequate supply of manpower as and when required. 2. Ensure proper use of existing human resources in the organisation. 3. Forecast future requirements of human resources with different levels of skills. 4. Assess surplus or shortage, if any, of human resources available over a specified period of time. 5. Anticipate the impact of technology on jobs and requirements for human resources. 6. Control the human resources already deployed in the organisation. 7. Provide lead time available to select and train the required additional human resource over a specified time period.
IMPORTANCE OF HRP 1. Human resource planning meets the organisation need for right type of people in right number at right times. 2. By maintaining a balance between demand for and supply of human resources, human resource planning makes optimum use of human resources, on the one hand, and reduces labour cost substantially, on the other. 3. Careful consideration of likely future events, through human resource planning might lead to the discovery of better means for managing human resources. Thus, foreseeable pitfalls might be avoided. 4. Manpower shortfalls and surpluses may be avoided, to a large extent.
IMPORTANCE OF HRP 5. Human resource planning helps the organisation create and develop training and succession planning for employees and managers. Thus, it provides enough lead time for internal succession of employees to higher positions through promotions. 6. It also provides multiple gains to the employees by way of promotions, increase in emoluments and other perquisites and fringe benefits. 7. Some of the problems of managing change may be foreseen and their consequences mitigated. Consultations with affected groups and individuals can take place at an early stage in the change process. This may avoid resistance for change.
IMPORTANCE OF HRP 8. Human resource planning compels management to asses critically the strength and weaknesses of its employees and personnel policies on continuous basis and, in turn, take corrective measures to improve the situation. 9. Through human resource planning, duplication of efforts and conflict among efforts can be avoided, on the one hand, and coordination of worker’s efforts can be improved, on the other. 10. Last but no means the least, with increase in skill, knowledge, potentialities, productivity and job satisfaction, organisation becomes the main beneficiary. Organisation is benefitted in terms of increase in prosperity/production, growth, development, profit and, thus, an edge over its competitors in the market.
.
ADVANTAGES OF HR PLANNING Benefits of Human Resource Planning The human resource planning helps in forecasting the future needs of the manpower and not only this, but it also helps in anticipating the vacancies arising in the near future. It is cost effective, i.e. the enterprise can anticipate the shortage and surplus of manpower and can control the imbalance, that may become unmanageable or expensive. Better planning for the employee development. Through human resource planning, the skills of the existing employees can be improved by giving them timely training and development opportunities. Training programs become more effective since the manpower gaps, arising out of shortage or surplus, can be determined through the manpower planning and the training can be imparted accordingly. It helps to make the strategic decisions related to the hiring and training of the manpower, in the case of shortage and layoff, termination or replacement of the manpower, in a case of surplus. Through Human Resource planning, the idle arising out of vacancy can be reduced and thus the overall performance of the business remains unaffected.
LIMITATIONS OF HR PLANNING The future is uncertain. There are several external factors viz. Technological, political, cultural, etc. that affects the employment opportunities. Therefore, the management can consider the human resource planning as a guiding factor and can not rely completely on it. With the surplus manpower, the companies try to remove this imbalance using termination, layoff, removal of the existing employees. This could create a sense of insecurity among them, and that would result in the loss of their faith in the company. The human resource planning is time-consuming since it collects the complete information regarding the personnel requirements of each department and then finds the suitable sources to satisfy the needs. The human resource planning is an expensive process. All the activities carried out from the time the manpower need arises till the final placement of employees, consumes lot of time and is very expensive.
JOB ANALYSIS-CONCEPT Job analysis is the process of studying and collecting information relating to the operations and responsibilities of a specific job. The immediate products of this analysis are job descriptions and job specifications.
