Functional of HRM
The function of human resource of management are Staffing, Training and Development,
Performance Appraisal, Compensation and Benefit, Safely and Health, Employee and Labor relation
(Gary D. , 2005).
Staffing
Staffing involves Job analysis, Recruitment and selection. The Basic of job analysis – Talent
management begin with understanding what jobs need to be filled, and the human traits and
competencies employees need to do those jobs effectively (Gary D. , 2005). Job analysis includes
Job descriptions and Job specifications (Gary D. , 2005). Job analysis is the procedure analysis
produces information for writing job description (a list of what the job entails) and job specifications
(what kind of people to hair for the job) (Gary D. , 2005). Virtually every personal related action you
take – interviewing applicants, and training and appraising employees, for instance – depends on
knowing what the job entails and what human traits one needs to do the job well (Gary D. , 2005).
The supervisor or human resources specialist normally collects one or more of the types of
information via the job analysis; work activities, human behaviors, machines, tools, equipment, work
aids, performance standards, job context and human requirements (Gary D. , 2005).
Recruitment and selection and selection are information about what duties the job entails and
what human characteristics are required to perform these activities helps manages decide what sort of
people to recruit and hire (Gary D. , 2005).
Training and development
Training involves on the job training and off the job training. on the job training involves
specific job training, apprenticeship training, coaching and understudy programme, job rotation,
special projects and task forces (Gary D. , 2005). Off the job training involves special courses and
lectures, conferences, case studies, simulation, sensitivity training (Gary D. , 2005). On Directly after
orientation, training should begin (Gary D. , 2005). Training means giving new or current employees
the skill that they need to perform their jobs (Gary D. , 2005). This might mean showing new Web
designers the intricacies of your site, new sales people how to sell your firm’s product, or new
supervisors how to complete the firm’s weekly payroll (Gary D. , 2005). It might involves simply
having the current jobholder explain the job to the new hire, or a multi-week training process
including classroom or Internal classes (Gary D. , 2005). In any case, training is a task that managers
ignore at their peril. Having high-potential employees doesn’t guarantee they’ll succeed (Gary D. ,
2005). They must know what to do and how to do it. If they don’t, they will improvise or do nothing
useful at all (Gary D. , 2005).
Development involves learning that goes beyond today’s job; it has a more long-time focus
(Gary D. , 2005). The management development process consists of assessing the company’s
strategic needs, appraising manager’s current performance, and then developing the managers (Gary
D. , 2005). Development is usually part of the employer’s succession planning (Gary D. , 2005).
Succession planning refer to the process through which a company plan for and fill senior – level
opening (Gary D. , 2005).
Performance appraisal
Performance appraisal means evaluating an employee’s current and or past performance
relative to his or her performance standards. Effective appraisal also requires that the supervisor set
performance standards (Gary D. , 2005). And it requires that the employee receive the training,
feedback, and incentives required to eliminate performance deficiencies (Gary D. , 2005). Effective
appraisal before the actual appraisal, with the manager defining the employee’s job and performance
criteria. Performance appraisal always involves the 3-steps performance appraisal process; (1) setting
work standards, (2) assessing the employee’s actual performance appraisal relative to those standards
and (3) providing feedback to the employee with the aim of helping him or her eliminate
performance deficiencies or to continue to perform above par (Gary D. , 2005). Why performance
appraisal? Because, most employers still base pay, promotion, and retention decisions on the
employee’s appraisal (Gary D. , 2005). Appraisal should facilitate career planning (Gary D. , 2005).
Supervisor use appraisal to identify employee’s training development needs (Gary D. , 2005).
Appraisal play a central role in the employer’s performance management process (Gary D. , 2005).
Performance management means continuously making sure that each employee’s and team’s
performance makes sense in terms of the company’s overall goals (Gary D. , 2005). The
accompanying HR as a profit center feature illustrates this (Gary D. , 2005).
No.(2)
Liff (2000) notes that there has been a shift from reconciling numbers of employees available with
predictable, stable jobs, towards a greater concern with skills, their development and deployment
(Gary D. , 2005). Emphasis is now given on following aspects; recruiting, retaining, utilising,
improving (Gary D. , 2005). HR planning is a form of rise management (Gary D. , 2005). Its
involves realistically appraising the present and anticipating the future in order to get the right people
into the right jobs at the right time and managing employee behavior, organizational culture and
systems in order to maximise the human resource in response to anticipated opportunities and threats
(Gary D. , 2005).
Aims of HRP
Armstrong (2009) sums up the aims of HRP as follows;
(a) To attract and retain the number of people required, with the skills, expertise and
competences required. (Gary D. , 2005)To anticipate potential surpluses or shortfalls which
will need to be adjusted.
(b) To develop a well-trained and flexible workforce which will support organizational
adaptation to external changes and demands.
(c) To reduce dependence on external recruitment to meet key skill shortages.
(d) To improve the utilization of people.
A contingency approach to HRP
In uncertain environments, a different, less prescriptive approach to HRP may be required
(Gary D. , 2005). Kane and Stanton (1994) suggest three broad approaches that respond to these
uncertainties (Gary D. , 2005).
(a) The staff replacement approach
(b) Short-term Human Resource strategy
(c) Vision-driven Human Resource Development

Motivation theory
What is motivation? The word motivation is commonly used in different contexts to mean;
(a) the mental process of choosing desired outcomes, deciding to go about them, assessing whether
the likelihood of success warrants the amount if effort that will be necessary, and setting in motion
the required behaviours (Gary D. , 2005). This is sometimes called intrinsic motivation, as it arises
from factors and process within the individual (Gary D. , 2005). (b) the social process by which the
behaviour of in individual is influenced by other “motivation” in this sense usually applies to the
attempts of organization to maintain or increase worker’s effort and commitment by using rewards
and punishments (Gary D. , 2005). This is sometimes called “extrinsic motivation”, as it arises from
actions done to or for the individual by other (Gary D. , 2005).
Theory of motivation are often categorized as “content theories’’ and “process theories’’.
Content theories assume that human beings have an innate package of motives (need or desired
outcomes) which they take action pursue (Gary D. , 2005). They ask “What motivates people?”
Maslow’s need theory and Herzberg’s two factor theory are two of the most important approaches of
this type (Gary D. , 2005). McClelland’s work on high achievers offer an interesting sidelight on pay
and motivation. Process theories explore the psychological process through which outcomes become
desirable and are pursued by individuals (Gary D. , 2005). The ask “How are people motivated?”
(Gary D. , 2005). This approach assumes that people are able to select their goals and choose the
paths towards them, by a conscious or inborn among human beings (Gary D. , 2005). Process theory
assumes that there is a psychological process that creates motivation (Gary D. , 2005). Need theories
of motivation (Maslow, Herzberg) suggest that intrinsic rewards must be included in reward strategy.
According to content theory, motivational drive is inborn among human beings (Gary D. , 2005).
Process theory assumes that there is a psychological process that create motivation (Gary D. , 2005).
Need theory
Need theories suggest that individuals have certain innate needs (Gary D. , 2005). When a
need is unsatisfied, the individual experiences tension-and acts in pursuit of goals that will satisfy the
need (Gary D. , 2005). Abraham Maslow developed the original and most famous need theory (Gary
D. , 2005). He argued that human beings have five innate needs, which he suggested could be
arranged in a hierarchy of relative prepotency (Gary D. , 2005).
Self-actualisation - for growth and fulfilment of personal potential
Esteem needs - for independence, recognition, status, respect from others
Love/social needs – for relationship, affection, belonging
Safety needs - for security, order, predictability, freedom from threat
Physiological needs – for food, shelter, sleep
Each level of need is dominant until satisfied; only then does the next level of need become a
motivating factor.
Two factor Theory
Frederick Herzberg interviewed Pittsburgh engineers and accountants about “critical
incidents” which made them feel good or bad about their work (Gary D. , 2005). He identified two
basis need categories of individual at work (Gary D. , 2005).
The need to avoid unpleasantness, associated with fair treatment in compensation,
supervision, working conditions and administrative practices (Gary D. , 2005). These needs are
satisfied by what Herzberg called “hygiene” factor; they may minimize dissatisfaction and poor job
performance, but have little ability to motivate the individual to higher levels of job satisfaction or
extra performance (Gary D. , 2005). Hygiene factors are essentially extrinsic rewards, deriving from
factors in the environment or context of work, and offering satisfaction of lower-level needs (Gary
D. , 2005).
The need of develop in one’s occupation, as a source of personal growth, associated with
factors such as advancement, recognition, responsibility, challenge and achievement (Gary D. ,
2005). These needs are satisfied by what Herzberg called “motivator” factors, which are seen to be
effective in motivating the individual to more positive attitudes, and greater effort and performance
(Gary D. , 2005). Motivator factor are essentially intrinsic rewards, deriving from factors inherent in
the content of the word itself, and offering psychological satisfaction of higher-level needs (Gary D. ,
2005).
McClelland – achievement motivation theory
David McClelland identified four main needs-based motives are achievement, power,
affiliation, avoidance. The first three correspond, roughly, to Maslow’s self-actualisation,
esteem and love needs (Gary D. , 2005). People who have a high need for achievement are
motivated far more by challenging opportunities they are by money; however, these high
achievers also have a strong need for feedback on their performance and monetary rewards
are valued as a means of keeping score (Gary D. , 2005). Such people are unlikely to remain
in jobs that do not pay them well for their high achievement, which reinforces the view that
pay is a hygiene factor (Gary D. , 2005).

A business firm is required by law to recognize a union and bargain with it in good
faith if the firm’s employees want the union to represent them. In the past, this relationship was
an accepted way of life for many employers. But most firms today would like to have a union-
free environment. When a labor union represents a firm’s employees, the human resource activity
is often referred to as industrial relations, which handles the job of collective bargaining.
Performance Appraisal
Performance appraisal is a formal system of review and evaluation of individual or team task
performance. It affords employees the opportunity to capitalize on their strengths and overcome
identified deficiencies, thereby helping them to become more satisfied and productive
employees.

A. Once an employee provides notice that they are leaving (i.e retiring, resigning etc) the
city, the immediate supervisor should contact a member of their assigned HR generalist
team about the pending employee separation and request that the exit interview process
be initiated (Minneapolis, 1997-2018). The supervisor should provide the employee’s
name, contact information and last date of employment (Minneapolis, 1997-2018).
B. After the supervisor makes contact with Human Resources, a member of the human
resources generalist team will contact the employee and ask them to participate in the
interview process (Minneapolis, 1997-2018). If the employee agrees to participate, they
will be provided with the option of participating in a face to face interview and or be
given the option to complete the online exit interview via survey Monkey (Minneapolis,
1997-2018).
C. If the employee agrees to a face to face exit interview they will also be asked to complete
the online exit interview so data can be captured about the employee’s experience
working with the City (Minneapolis, 1997-2018). Capturing consistent data on a number
of variables; work environment, salary, benefits, etc can provide valuable data that can be
analysed on a citywide basis or by individual city departments to identify trends on why
people are leaving (Minneapolis, 1997-2018).
Exit interview; know why they leave
Every company loses employees (Minneapolis, 1997-2018). But successful organizations
understand WHY and constantly make improvement efforts to retain their best employees
(Minneapolis, 1997-2018). Did you know that employee’s reasons for leaving are dramatically
changing? Do you want to know what is affecting employee retention in your organization? Do you
know what is changing in your company? Using an exit interview program your company can get the
answers questions like these, understand your ever-changing workforce and transform departing
employees into valuable company improvement consultants (Minneapolis, 1997-2018).
What it is?
Often used by many companies as the only way to understand employee motivations, the exit
interview is a powerful tool that provides invaluable information about the reasons a person leaves
(Minneapolis, 1997-2018). Many time company leaders believe they already know the answers and
often point to compensation as the reason they believe an employee has left (Minneapolis, 1997-
2018). The truth is when an exit interview is not handled correctly more than 40% of employees will
give a false answer (Minneapolis, 1997-2018). Executives frequently discover that what they thought
they knew as the reasons for leaving were, turns out to be inaccurate (Minneapolis, 1997-2018).
Compensation may be in the list, but it is rarely number 1 (Minneapolis, 1997-2018). Employees
leave for a myriad of issues, and an exit interview can pinpoint what those issues are, why those
issues matter and how to make changes for success (Minneapolis, 1997-2018).
Why you need it?
At the work institute, we don’t believe you just need an exit interview strategy (Minneapolis,
1997-2018). We believe you need our exit interview strategy (Minneapolis, 1997-2018). There is a
right way to conduct exit interviews rivals none in our industry (Minneapolis, 1997-2018). We have
a 65% response rate with our exit interview program because of our specific planning process and
why Methodology that uses interviewer not surveys and takes into account the timing of the
interview which always occurs two weeks after an employee departs (Minneapolis, 1997-2018).
The benefits for conducting the exit interview the right way
Most companies come to us having tried a basic survey given online to an employee right
before they leave or may be an internal person conducts the interview (Minneapolis, 1997-2018). We
have found these to be some of the worst ways to get accurate information on the exit (Minneapolis,
1997-2018). Our process of using unbiased trained interviewers and our why methodology will get
you the most truthful responses and the best data you need to make changes and lower turnover
(Minneapolis, 1997-2018).
The connection between the job they had and they job they wanted contrary to popular belief,
employees leave a company for reasons other than just compensation (Minneapolis, 1997-2018). An
employee who isn’t clear on what the job was or is becomes disengaged quickly (Minneapolis, 1997-
2018).
True thoughts and feelings about their supervisor
The supervisor is a key reason that a person will stay or leave a company (Minneapolis,
1997-2018). It’s imperative for you to understand how a leaving employee would rate their boss but
even more imperative for you to find out why (Minneapolis, 1997-2018).
Success of your training and support of your staff
Employee feel empowered and engaged when their company invest in them (Minneapolis,
1997-2018). A company who isn’t providing tools for growth is one with high turnover
(Minneapolis, 1997-2018).
The real reason your employee is leaving and how to encourage them to say
Most of the reasons a disengaged employee exits are in your control (Minneapolis, 1997-
2018). When you use exit interviews and uncover why you have turnover, you can use this
information make simple, cost effective changes to management training, internal communication,
the workplace itself, and company culture (Minneapolis, 1997-2018).
Your effectiveness in the hiring process
High turnover, or the loss of top performers could point to hiring inefficiencies, or simply
making poor hiring decisions (Minneapolis, 1997-2018). Did you hire the wrong person in the first
place? Were you in a hurry to fill a void? Did supervisors and or HR property vet the employee’s
skillset, station in life, temperament and aptitude for the position hired? (Minneapolis, 1997-2018).
