In order to achieve the objectives of an organisation, the HRM section or department
must carry out a number of functions. The key functions of HRM can be summarized
as the acquisition, maintenance, development and termination of employees.
Acquisition: This is the 'getting' phase of HRM. It includes estimating both the future
demand and supply for human resources and integrating these resources into a total
human resource strategy. In other words, the objectives and future directions of the
organisation must be known before any reliable forecasts of people needs can be
made. The acquiring process includes recruiting, selection and the socialization or
induction of new employees.
Maintenance This is the 'keeping' function and involves providing benefits, services
and working conditions that are needed if individuals are to remain committed to the
workplace.
