1. HRM
Recruiting, screening, training, rewarding, and appraising
Primary objective of this department is to ensure that the organization has the required
number of people, equipped with adequate skills, to manage business. This department
formulates policies related to selection, compensation, welfare, etc., in the organization.
Size and structure of the department depends on the total number of employees,
technology, nature of business, etc.
Optimum utilization of potential of people enhances organizational effectiveness.
Human resource practices influence employee behaviours like performance, retention,
and involvement etc. which in turn influence indicators of organizational effectiveness
like customer satisfaction, profitability etc.
Some expectations of organizations are given below:
1. All employees should have high commitment to vision and goals of organization.
2. They should value customers.
3. They should continuously learn new ideas and concepts and apply them for the benefit of
organization
4. They should continuously improve their job performance and achieve higher business targets
Four stages in development of human resources strategy as given below:
1. Personnel Perspectives:
This is the conventional view of human resource practices. The concern of the organization is
to hire the required number of people, take care of industrial relations, and fulfill statutory
obligation.
2. Compensation:
The objectives of HR practices is to ensure satisfaction of employees and provide financial
incentives for improving productivity. In this approach, the company recognizes people as a
vital resource for achieving goals of the organization.
3. Aligning Perspectives:
The organization looks at the employees as the assets and change agents. HR department is
expected to align appraisal, reward, training and development with change management.
4. High Performance Perspectives:
The organization looks at HR as a component of business strategy, having linkage with
mission and strategy of the organization. HR activities are viewed as adding values to the
business. The objective here is to bring the business strategy of the organization, HR
practices and business performance into alignment.

2. Scientific Selection Process :
Fresh manpower is required because of the following reasons :
1. Retirement
2. Resignation
3. Voluntary Retirement
4. Promotion
5. Growth in business
Scientific selection process can start after accurate manpower planning. Manpower planning
is the process-including forecasting, developing, and controlling – by which a firm ensures
that it has the right number of people and the right kind of people at the right places at the right
time doing work for which they are economically most useful. Manpower planning will give
precise requirement about number of executives/workers who should be hired.
Thereafter job descriptions for the concerned positions should be prepared, giving details about
activities, which the employees will be performing once they join the organization. It is well
known that executives require three kinds of skill, namely, conceptual, human and technical.
Hence, job specifications should be prepared keeping these skills in mind.
A job specification gives an accurate profile of the kind of person who is suitable for a given
position. Once the job description and job specification are ready, selection process can be
initiated by the HRD department.Blum & Nylor (1968) proposed a selection model having the
following steps:
1. Job description for the given position should be prepared.
The job description provides details of activities, major duties and responsibilities of the
incumbent of a given position
2. Criterion variable and predictor variable for the position should be identified. Criterion
variable refers to performance criterion, e.g., sales volume in a month for the job of the
salesman. Predictor variable refers to selection tools and techniques which can predict
performance in any organization, e.g., a typing speed test for a typist.
3. Measurement should be done on criterion and predictor variable.
AWESOME EIGHTSOME.IM13
4. A correlation between predictor and criterion variable should be calculated. If any
significant positive relationship is seen, predictor can be accepted. If the relationship is
insignificant, an attempt should be made to identify different predictor and criterion.
Selection model helps an organization in taking the following decisions:
• Hiring
• Promotions
• Transfers
• Determining training needs
• Career development/succession plans
• Terminations
• Layoffs
Example for selection
Job Description
Organization: A chemical company of medium size, with a turnover of 300 -400cr.
Position: G.M. (R&D)
Major Responsibilities and Duties:
1. To develop new molecule processes, new products and new application of chemicals, and
related by-products in line with company's objectives.
2. To optimize and continuously improve present processes.
3. To provide technical support to production group for commercialization of new products.
4. To assist marketing group and customers in handling their application problems.
5. Training and development of scientists/research personnel.
6. Procurement of chemicals for R&D lab.
7. Maintenance of R&D lab.
8. Ensuring confidentiality of all R&D activities like process improvements and new
formulations.
9. To interface/coordinate with major R&D establishments in India abroad and explore
possibility of subcontracting/buying new molecules/processes.
Responsibility: He has overall responsibility of developing new products and new processes as
per the needs of the market.
AWESOME EIGHTSOME.IM13
Job specification
The candidate for above position should have the following profile:
Education: Ph.D. in relevant field and 12 to 15 years of experience of working in a big
chemical company. He will be expected to develop new products and manage a team of
scientists/executives.
Selection Process
Selection for the above position should be done in the following way
• Inviting applications through advertisement or placement agencies
• Screening of candidates to fulfill education and experience criteria
• Assessment of technical competencies by experts involving the head of manufacturing, and two
scientists (internal or external) having expertise in the relevant field
• Assessment of human skills through interview and psychological testing
For a position as senior as that of a General Manager, the following personality dimensions
should be investigated:
1. Need for affiliation
2. Creativity and innovation
3. Proactive attitude
4. Locus of control
Today, valid and reliable psychological tests are available for assessment of these dimensions.
How is Selection model used for improving selection process?
Pay more attention to personality assessment of candidates. This deficiency can be
minimized by rigorous personality assessment using psychological tests.
Companies generally select people by using the interview method. Assessment of the
candidate can be improved by repeating the interview twice-thrice. Thus interviewers
can get more information about the personality of the employee by repeat interviews
Companies rely on internal expertise for conducting interviews. Senior executives can
comfortably assess whether a given employee has the required knowledge and skill at the
lower level. When a company is selecting people at higher levels, it should involve
experts from other organizations also. Outside experts can be from similar industry or
from a different industry.
AWESOME EIGHTSOME.IM13
Preference for doing a job may change after sometime. After a while, an employee may
prefer to do a different kind of job, because he might have developed additional skills,
the selection system should consider this kind of possibility.
Personality assessment has to be very specific according to requirements of the job.
Company should examine following dimensions for all executives:
• Proactiveness
• Participative approach
• Learning orientation
Every organization uses a number of assessment techniques like written test, group
discussion, interview and psychological tests etc. It is necessary to try and establish a
relationship between scores of the candidates on these tests, and their on-the-job
performance after one or two years. It is a common practice to conduct performance
appraisal at the end of the year. Thereafter, HRD managers should study the
correlation between performance appraisal rating and tests score at the time of
selection. A positive correlation between tests score and performance score can indicate
that tests are valid for predicting performance, and hence the selection process is giving
the company the right kind of approach.
Continuous review, modification and improvement of selection methods will ensure
that the organization has people with the required competencies for managing the
business. As employees spend more and more time in the organization, their
characteristics are likely to change. Hence, company should assess competencies and
changing attitudes/perceptions, and give feedback to employees to develop them
further.
3. JOB Evaluation
It is scientific method of establishing the worth of a job relative to other jobs in the organization.
Job evaluation is ultimately intended to develop a pay structure and decide on the rates or ranges
of pay in the structure through internal comparisons and market pricing.
Objectives:
1. Helps in Internal Transfers
2. Helps during Appraisals
3. Complex the job more is the remuneration given, hence we need to evaluate
4. For Defining Job Responsibilities.
5. Helps in deciding the pay Structure.
Following methods are available for job evaluation:
Ranking Method
1. It is a relatively old method of job evaluation.
2. Ranking is the process of comparing jobs with one another and arranging them in order of
their importance and value to the organization. Jobs which are similar are clubbed under the
AWESOME EIGHTSOME.IM13
same ranking. In this way, all jobs are arranged in hierarchical order. 3. It is not an accurate
method.
Paired Comparison Method
1. It is a statistical technique used to provide a sophisticated method of job ranking.
2. This technique requires the comparison of each job separately with every other job. However,
it does not provide any defined standards for judging the relative worth of a job.
3. It is difficult to compare one job with all other jobs in the company, for that would entail prior
quantification.
4. Moreover, when the number of employees in an organization exceeds 25, it becomes an
unbelievably cumbersome exercise.
5. Hence, it is not a convenient method for job evaluation.
Factor Comparison Method
1. In this method, jobs are evaluated directly in currency value. A number of key jobs which are
well established and assumed to be fairly priced are drawn from all levels of job hierarchy.
2. Thereafter a set of four to seven factors are chosen which can adequately describe all jobs.
3. Each factor is assigned a percentage figure representing its proportional importance in getting
the job done.
4. Thereafter rate of pay for each benchmark job is broken down and distributed among key
factors.
Point Factor Rating System
1. Point factor rating method is a very popular method of job evaluation, and is used by most of
the companies in India and abroad.
2. A number of job factors are selected and defined, for example, knowledge, skill,
accountability etc. These are considered to be common to all jobs in the organization.
3. It is believed that the different levels at which they are present in jobs will indicate that job’s
criticality and its relative value.
4. The levels or degrees to which each factor can be present in the organization's job are defined
Point factor method is useful because of the following reasons:
1. This method is perceived to be more objective because it is analytical.
2. It is more acceptable and fair.
3. Point factor rating scheme provides evaluators with defined yardsticks which should help them
to achieve some degree of consistency and objectivity in their judgment.
4. This method provides a rationale which helps in the design of graded pay structure.
The following factors can be selected with respective weightages for assessment of relative
worth of jobs of officers, executives and managers:
AWESOME EIGHTSOME.IM13
These factors have been selected because of the following reasons :
1. These three factors adequately describe a number of jobs which can be evaluated by the
company. These factors can assess most of the components of jobs at officer/manager level.
2. A number of studies on job evaluation have considered these factors.
3. These factors are similar to the Hay Plan, which is another popular job evaluation Scheme.
Factors in Job Evaluation Plan :
(Give some fart in exam )
A job evaluation plan is given below for a factory.
Knowhow can be assessed by three criteria:
1. Knowledge & Skills
2. Interpersonal skills
3. Planning & organizing work.
Problem solving involves the following three criteria:
1. Time span
2. Variety in job
3. Authority in taking decision.
Accountability can be assessed by three criteria:
1. Impact
2. Span of control
3. Responsibility for customer care
4. Objectives of Performance Appraisal
An organization is a group of people who are trying to achieve a common goal. The common
goal is achieved by collective effort of all employees who work in any organization across
various locations. When a large number of people work together there should be a method to
assess their contribution for the organization. Therefore, organizations use performance appraisal
systems for scientifically assessing the performance of each employee and identifying their
potential for development.
From the organizational point of view, a performance appraisal system has three objectives:
1) Performance appraisal
This particular facet helps in evaluating an employee’s past performance and the key
result areas (KRA’s) that he was able to achieve in the last appraisal period.
AWESOME EIGHTSOME.IM13
2) Performance monitoring
Performance monitoring is a comparison of what was the employee’s performance as
against the expected performance.
3) Development of a culture of high performance
At the start of the appraisal period itself, the goals of an employee are set which results in
higher performance of the employee due to clarity of objectives.
Need for Performance Appraisal
1) To provide systematic feedback to employees regarding their performance within a
limited period of time.
2) Developing criteria for promotion and career development.
3) Counseling and development of managerial competency.
4) Help employees to overcome their weaknesses related to knowledge and skill and
improving their strength, to enable them to improve their performance.
5) Generate adequate feedback and performance guidelines for improvement.
6) Help in creating a desirable culture within the organization.
7) Generate relevant and unbiased information about employees.
8) Communicating work expectations
9) Identifying training and developmental needs.
5. 360 Degree PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
Conventional appraisal methods rely on judgment of immediate superior which has possibility of
bias and error. In the last few years, an alternative approach to appraisal has evolved, i.e, 360
Degree appraisal. The objective of 3600
feedback system is to support people and encourage their
continued development through use of high quality information from multiple sources of close
interaction.
Rationale:
The developmental feedback concept (3600) proposes that those who are a part of employee
circle of influence can facilitate that person’s development.
Ratings in 360 Degree Appraisal
a) Supervisory rating:
Though organizations are becoming flat and lean, supervisors have control over work life of
employees. They decide the targets and evaluate employee performance against those targets.
b) Peer ratings:
In any organization, peers are a valuable source of information regarding performance of
employees, because they work closely with each other and they are aware about the
AWESOME EIGHTSOME.IM13
knowledge levels and overall performance of the employees. As there is no power
relationship between peers they tend to give honest and useful feedback about the employee.
c) Subordinate ratings:
Today it is accepted that subordinate evaluation represents a valid source of performance
information.
d) Self-rating:
Though self-rating are likely to be biased because of leniency, social desirability, etc., self
rating also forms an integrating component of 360 degree appraisal. As the objective of 360
degree feedback is developmental, self rating must, of necessity be considered, as without it,
a developmental process may be difficult to start.
Advantages
In most cases, 360 degree feedback works as a supplement to conventional supervisory
assessment.
Executives are assessed on their job activities as well as the outcome they achieve through their
job. It includes assessment of effort as well as result.
Benefits of 360 degree appraisal for various stakeholders of the organization:
1. Customers get an opportunity for involvement in the assessment process. This can not only
strengthen their relationship with the organization, but provide invaluable feedback from the
vital viewpoint of the customer, who happens to be the point of the whole organizational
exercise.
2. Employees come to know about assessment criteria for themselves and details about how
they will be assessed on these criteria.
3. Supervisors get additional information and insight regarding performance of their
subordinates.
4. Executives share their ideas regarding improvement in the organization. Organizations can
get credible information to understand their strengths and weaknesses.
Problems in implementation
1. When it is used for managing performance feedback, providers may avoid giving correct
feedback fearing that it will have an adverse impact on a colleague’s career.
2. Feedback providers may inflate ratings in the hope of positively impacting a colleague’s
career.
3. Feedback providers may be influenced by interpersonal relationships while making
assessment.
AWESOME EIGHTSOME.IM13
Despite these problems, 360 degree appraisal is gaining popularity in multinational corporations
in countries like US, UK, Canada, etc.
Issues to be kept in mind while initiating this system:
Culture and Maturity
A company should assess its culture and the maturity of its people. If executives do not
display the higher levels of maturity called for by this system, it may not work well. Another
pre-requisite is that there should be a culture of openness and participation in the
organization.
Educate about 360
Before actually starting the exercise, company should educate its executives regarding details
as well the nuances of 360 degree appraisal, to dispel any possible misgivings and to explain
and how it will be utilized by the organization.
Train for giving and receiving feedback
There should be an attempt to train people on how to give feedback as called for by the
system, as also how to receive feedback in the organization.
Communicate Objectives
As it has multiple applications like reward & recognition, career development, etc., the
objectives of starting the exercise should be clearly communicated across the organization.
Measurement method and meaning and definition of competencies should be explained to all
executives.
Developing and implementing a 360 degree appraisal system is a very complex and time
consuming exercise, not to undertaken lightly. It can be suitable for the organizations which
have a culture characterized by transparency, high level of maturity of their executives, openness
and trust. Many companies in India have not implemented this. Very few organizations have
experimented with this system, as it is not very easy to implement in Indian conditions.
Some general Techniques for Performance Appraisal:-
1. Graphic Rating Scale Method: Rate each trait mentioned on a scale.
2. Alternation Ranking Method: List all subordinates and rank them on that trait-best to
worst.
3. Forced Distribution Method: Every one cannot get an excellent rating. Eg. Only 15% can
be rated high performance.
4. Critical Incident Method: Supervisor keeps a record of undesirable incidents of each
subordinate’s work related behavior. Thereafter supervisor and subordinate meet and
discuss using specific incidents as example.

6. Errors in Performance Appraisal
AWESOME EIGHTSOME.IM13
AWESOME EIGHTSOME.IM13
AWESOME EIGHTSOME.IM13
Reasons for failure of performance appraisal
The failure of the performance appraisal system in an organization can be linked to some of the following
commonly observed deficiencies:
1. Supervisor who is evaluating has two roles namely, judge and helper. Sometimes, there may be
conflict between the two roles.
2. Expectations of the supervisor and the subordinates regarding the job may be at variance.
3. Interval between two appraisal programmes either too long or too short.
4. Very few supervisors have the skill to constructively convey to an employee how to improve his
performance.
5. Sometimes, the supervisor does not find subordinate appraisal personally rewarding.
6. Poor communication keeps employees in the dark about what is expected from them.
How to Avoid Appraisal Problems
Learn and understand the potential problems, and the solutions for each.
Use the right appraisal tool. Each tool has its own pros and cons.
Train supervisors to reduce rating errors such as halo, leniency, and central tendency.
Have raters compile positive and negative critical incidents as they occur.
7. Training Methods The most common methods for imparting are as follows:
On-the-job training (OJT)
– Having a person learn a job by actually doing the job.
OJT methods
– Coaching or understudy
– Job rotation
– Special assignments
Advantages
– Inexpensive
– Immediate feedback
Apprenticeship training
– A structured process by which people become skilled workers through a
combination of classroom instruction and on-the-job training.
Informal learning
– The majority of what employees learn on the job they learn through informal
means of performing their jobs on a daily basis.
Job instruction training (JIT)
– Listing each job’s basic tasks, along with key points, in order to provide step-by-
step training for employees.
AWESOME EIGHTSOME.IM13
Programmed instruction (PI)
– A systematic method for teaching job skills involving:
Presenting questions or facts
Allowing the person to respond
Giving the learner immediate feedback on the accuracy of his or her
answers
Advantages
– Reduced training time
– Self-paced learning
– Immediate feedback
– Reduced risk of error for learner
Lecture method: It is universally popular and age-old method of teaching and training, and
used by most training establishments. This method is very useful for communicating a
number of concepts and ideas in a limited time to a fair number of participants. However,
participants can experience boredom and monotony if the trainer does not provide any
opportunity for interaction and discussion. This method is primarily suitable for technical
programmes, which require details about principles and theories. It can be used for
behavioural programmes also, but to a limited extent
Case Study: The objective of the case study is to help the participant analyze a business
problem as a simulation, and find likely solutions that she/he can implement. This method is
suitable for developing analytical and decision making abilities.
Business Game: Objective of the business game is to give an opportunity to work together.
By using this method it is possible to make assessment about teamwork and leadership
abilities of participants.
Role Play: Role-play is useful to educate the participant how he should act in a crucial
situation. In this method, the participants are given a specific role to play in front of the other
participants and trainers. They are given feedback about the effectiveness of the way they
have acted in a social situation. It is a dynamic simulation, and can be quite realistic and
hence educative.
8. Role of training in managing business?
Methods of identifying training needs for executives in any org?
An organization’s main objective is to make profit by producing sought-after goods/services with
a good degree of value addition. This process of value addition, achieved by people through
optimisation of resources, means that capabilities of organizational personnel directly influence
the quality of product/services etc. Organizations have to continuously change to achieve growth
and survival, because on-going and planned change determines success in a dynamic and
competitive environment. Today, training is a strategic tool for initiating change.
AWESOME EIGHTSOME.IM13
A strategic training system may be defined as a training system, which is designed
primarily based on strategic plans and objectives of the organization – Sethumadhavan
(1997). Such a training system focuses on achieving business and corporate/individual goals.
Training can be conceptualized as a system which interacts with other human resource systems
like selection, reward & recognition performance appraisal, etc., on one hand and technology,
manufacturing systems on the other.

Training Need Analysis for Executives
Training is an integral component of overall HR strategy of the company. Moreover proer
training of company executives is highly important because they are the players in motivating
people and in rampification of business processes. Hence it is very important that the training
program for executives is properly planned so that it meets its requirements. It should be linked
to business. Following issues should be analyzed before organizing training programmes.
1. Human resource goal identification - what are the expectations from the HR
departments?
2. Situation diagnosis – what is the present status of organizational culture, people,
personnel programme?
3. What kind of people and competencies are required for managing business in the
present and future?
The objective of training need analysis is to identify gaps in areas of knowledge and skill, which
should be fulfilled through suitable training programme. It helps in developing training modules
and enables the trainers to conduct the training programmes successfully. Training need analysis
is related to selection process of the organization. If the selection system is able to identify the
fit between job and person, it will minimize the essential training needs of people. If selection
system is not able to identify a suitable person for a given job, the company will have to spend
more effort and time in developing the required knowledge and skills among the employees, and
choose the best person for fitment in a particular job. Case of executives need analysis should be
able to identify that whether a suitable executive is present in an organization to handle the job
responsibilities.
AWESOME EIGHTSOME.IM13
Methods for Training Need Analysis
Through performance appraisal: A popular method of training need analysis is identification
through the analysis of job appraisals of executives by their seniors In some companies
identification of training need is a component of the appraisal form itself. This helps in assessing
the executive as well as indicate the nature of training, which will enable him to perform better in
future. Many companies are practicing this method. It can be successful if appraisal is effective
and the appraiser is aware about the knowledge and skills required for doing job.
Training needs survey: When the organization has to identify the training needs for a large
number of people, it should conduct a training needs survey. The survey process comprises the
following steps:
Understanding the business.
Study of organization chart and manpower in different categories.
Designing a questionnaire to capture training need of various categories of people including
workers.
Sampling and data collection.
Analysis of survey data.
Observation
The major role of executives is to motivate their employees, making the process more
efficient,improving overall productivity. A major decline in any of these parameters or a general
dissatisfaction among the employees regarding their manager might be the right time to send an
excutive for training. A major technological shift in business process can also require training of
executives.
Adaption to new environment
Executives may need training when they are shifted to new business processes or regional or
functional areas. This is to familiarize them with the processes and make them identify the major
factors which play crucial role in that business environment.
9. Evaluation of Training
Evaluation of training is a systematic attempt to analyze the impact of training programs
on knowledge, skills and attitudes of trainees.
Systematic evaluation becomes inevitable if a company is seriously interested in knowing
whether a training program is accomplishing its objectives. Evaluation of training can be useful
in multiple ways:
Provides feedback to the trainer, which can be useful in developing training skills.
Evaluation will help in redesigning the content of the program.
It can lead to redesigning the whole program.
Today, most companies evaluate a program as soon as it is over. Such an attempt is useful, but it
does not communicate anything about the participant’s future development, whether their
AWESOME EIGHTSOME.IM13
knowledge is increasing and whether they are performing differently on the job, and if they are
taking initiative or not. Such questions remain unanswered by immediate evaluation of training.
Therefore, it is essential to undertake long-term evaluation of the impact of training programs on
the performance of an organization’s human resources.
Kirpatrick (1994) suggested a framework of evaluation with four levels of criteria, i.e.,
Reactions: refer to feelings experienced during the training program.
Learning: includes changes in knowledge, skills, and attitudes of the trainee.
Job behavior: examines to what extent trainees behave differently on their job
because of the training program, to what extent trainees apply the concepts which
they have learned during the training program.
Results: Results include tangible outcomes of the program in terms of reduced costs,
improved quality and quantity, etc.
The model clearly defined evaluation as meaning "measuring changes in behavior that occur as a
result of training programs." The model itself is composed of four Levels of training evaluation.
The advantages to a Level Four evaluation are as follows:
Determine bottom line impact of training
Tie business objectives and goals to training
A fifth level, ROI has been added as the brainchild of Dr. Jack J. Phillips.
Kirkpatrick alluded to ROI when he created level four linking training results to business results.
However, over time the need to measure the dollar value impact of training became so important
to corporations that a fifth level was added by Dr. Phillips. ROI calculations are being done by a
few world-class training organizations. They help these organizations:
Quantify the performance improvements
Quantify the dollar value benefits
Compute investment returns
Make informed decisions based on quantified benefits, returns, and percent return
comparisons between learning programs
AWESOME EIGHTSOME.IM13
In the area of training and development, studies on evaluation of training are limited in the
Indian context. Seth (1984) conducted an independent analysis of the impact of training on
personnel managers. His approach took cognizance of the belief and attitude of personnel
managers based on the assumption that changes in one’s belief system results in corresponding
changes in the organization. It was emphasized that training without evaluation defeats the
purpose of training. Sikka’s (1985) study on training evaluation indicated that changes following
training could be measured and evaluated. The findings indicated that participants experienced
positive reaction after training.
Long term evaluation of training requires that systematic records of training programs
conducted, their content, names of the participants and names of the trainers should be
maintained by HRD department. Long term evaluation of training should be conducted once in
three-four years.
