Human Resource actions

Concept, meaning and definition

- Hiring
- Training
- Career Management
- Retrenchments

- Action plans encourage changes in current personnel systems that facilitate organizational adaptation to the chang¬ing conditions of the external environment.
- They enable organizations to act preventively in regard to anticipated labor shortages, surpluses, funding difficulties, and changes in service demands.
-
- Cascio (1987) identifies two components of action plans: perfor¬mance and career management.
o Performance management entails administration of organizational performance monitoring and ap¬praisal systems. It also involves consideration of reward structures, compensation and fringe benefits, and labor relations (Walker, 1980).
o Similarly, career management entails administration of individual careers. Existing policies and personnel systems, management de¬velopment activities, training and development opportunities, and individual career planning are considerations.
- Both performance and individual career management are key elements of personnel admin¬istration.
- However, a great deal of action planning includes the development and implementation of the subsequent stages of staff¬ing such as recruitment, selection, training, and development.
- Fi¬nally, affirmative action plans and similar regulatory considerations should be addressed during human resource planning.
