Understanding the five major aspects of HRM

Employees are not just part of your organization, they are your organization. To keep your business running smoothly, employees have to be managed efficiently and their needs have to be catered to. That’s why it’s necessary to have a proper HR team (or department, depending on your organization’s size). HR handles the complete lifecycle of employees, from recruitment to offboarding, and provides them with an excellent working experience.

If you are a small business striving to establish an HR department or an HR professional who is new to the sector, here are five areas to focus on for employee management:

• Hiring and onboarding employees whose values and beliefs align with your core organizational culture

• Spearheading the complete employee training and development process, from analyzing skill gaps and finalizing courses to delivering the courses to employees and measuring their impact on performance

• Ensuring compliance by being aware of and devising strategies to follow all national and local labor laws

• Improving employee engagement and satisfaction by providing feedback and recognition

• Enhancing workforce planning by aligning the needs of the organization with the needs of the workforce
