Recruitment & Retention

This blog has being compiled in order to facilitate a Human Resource Planning solution to current challenge facing by some organizations in recruitment and retention. It contains both internal and external issues influencing the organizational strategy and HR plans. The main purpose of this is to identify the challenges and opportunities associated with the organization and to implement the recommendations based on this. 

By evaluating the challenges and opportunities prior to any issue, increase the ability to make maximum use of the opportunities and be proactive to the threats in order to minimize and/ or illuminate them.  (Covey, 2004)

According to Gary & Biju (2016, p.4), “Human resource management (HRM) is the process of acquiring, training, appraising, and compensating employees, and of attending to their labour relations, health and safety, and fairness concerns”.

Burack & Mathys (1980), stated that Human resource planning has two basic components: forecasting and programming. Forecasting involves generating the numbers, types and qualities of personnel needed by an organization at some time in the future. Programming is the process and activities by which the forecast is implemented with much emphasis and development.
According to Larson and Hewitt (2012), an effective marketing plan should do the following,
1. Identify the needs and perceptions of current employees and potential new hires.
2. Craft an organizational identity.
3. Create or update the organization’s mission and vision statements.
4. Identify and remove barriers to attracting high-quality recruits.
5. Package the organization’s image.
6. Spread the word to potential employees.
7. Enhance the organization’s visibility.
8. Monitor and update the plan as needed.

The above will assist the organization to make the right hire which will later aid organization’s growth in the long run. Once the organization makes the right decision on recruitment, it is as important to initiate long term strategies to retain the employees.

    The First Blog should be an introduction to HRM in global context if that is what your looking at. Instead you have directly gone to Recruitment and selection and then come back to HRM definitions and then again jump into HRP can we have a logical and rational flow and stick to the plan as set out on pages 9-12 of the students guide and also the self assessment marking guide and rework on your blog.
