Manpower Planning Process
9. 3-9
Analyzing the current manpower inventoryAnalyzing the current manpower inventory
Before a manager makes forecast of future manpower, the
current manpower status has to be analyzed.
For this the following things have to be noted-Type of
organization
Number of departments
Number and quantity of such departments
Employees in these work units
Once these factors are registered by a manager, he goes for
the future forecasting.
10. 3-10
Manpower forecasting techniquesManpower forecasting techniques
Expert Forecasts: This includes informal decisions, formal expert
surveys and Delphi technique.
Trend Analysis: Manpower needs can be projected through
extrapolation (projecting past trends), indexation (using base year
as basis), and statistical analysis (central tendency measure).
Work Load Analysis: It is dependent upon the nature of work load
in a department, in a branch or in a division.
Work Force Analysis: Whenever production and time period has
to be analysed, due allowances have to be made for getting net
manpower requirements.
Other methods: Several Mathematical models, with the aid of
computers are used to forecast manpower needs, like budget and
planning analysis, regression, new venture analysis.

According to Flippo “Recruitment is the process of attracting
potential employees and stimulating them to apply for the jobs in the
organization.”
Certain influences, however, restrain a firm while choosing a
recruiting source such as:
Poor image
Unattractive job
Conservative internal policies
Limited budgetary support
Restrictive policies of government

Internal MethodInternal Method
Promotions and transfers:
Promotion is the movement of an employee from a lower level position to a higher level
position with increase in salary
Transfer, on the other hand, is a lateral movement within the same grade, from one job to
another.
Job posting: It is a method of publicizing job openings on bulletin boards,
electronic media and similar outlets by a company.
Employee referrals: It is a kind of recommendation from a current employee
regarding a job applicant.
Lay-off : Lay-off refers to the temporary separation of employee from the
organization .Recalling the lay off candidates to fill the vacant position
18. 3-18
External RecruitmentExternal Recruitment
Merits
Wide choice: The organization has the freedom
to select candidates from a large pool. Persons
with requisite qualifications could be picked up.
Injection of fresh blood: People with special
skills and knowledge could be hired to stir up the
existing employees and pave the way for
innovative ways of working.
Motivational force: It helps in motivating
internal employees to work hard and compete
with external candidates while seeking career
growth. Such a competitive atmosphere would
help an employee to work to the best of his
abilities.
Long term benefits: Talented people could join
the ranks, new ideas could find meaningful
expression, a competitive atmosphere would
compel people to give of their best and earn
rewards, etc.
Demerits
Expensive: Hiring costs could go up
substantially. Tapping multifarious sources of
recruitment is not an easy task, either.
Time consuming: It takes time to advertise,
screen, to test and to select suitable employees.
Where suitable ones are not available, the process
has to be repeated.
Demotivating: Existing employees who have
put in considerable service may resist the process
of filling up vacancies from outside. The feeling
that their services have not been recognized by
the organization, forces them to work with less
enthusiasm and motivation.
Uncertainty: There is no guarantee that the
organization, ultimately, will be able to hire the
services of suitable candidates. It may end up
hiring someone who does not ‘fit’ and who may
not be able to adjust in the new set-up.
19. 3-19
Internal RecruitmentInternal Recruitment
Merits
Economical: The cost of recruiting
internal candidates is minimal. No expenses
are incurred on advertising.
Suitable: The organization can pick the
right candidates having the requisite skills.
The candidates can choose a right vacancy
where their talents can be fully utilized.
Reliable: The organization has knowledge
about the suitability of a candidate for a
position. ‘Known devils are better than
unknown angels!
Satisfying: A policy of preferring people
from within offers regular promotional
avenues for employees. It motivates them to
work hard and earn promotions. They will
work with loyalty, commitment and
enthusiasm.

organization , ultimately, will be able to hire the
services of suitable candidates. It may end up
hiring someone who does not ‘fit’ and who may
not be able to adjust in the new set-up.
21. 3-21
Overtime: Short term fluctuations in work volume could best be solved through overtime. The
employer benefits because the costs of recruitment, selection and training could be avoided. The
employee benefits in the form of higher pay. However, an overworked employee may prove to be less
productive and turn out less than optimal performance. Employees may slow down their pace of work
during normal working hours in order to earn overtime daily. In course of time, overtime payments
become quite routine and if, for any reason, these payments do not accrue regularly, employees
become resentful and disgruntled.
Subcontracting: To meet a sudden increase in demand for its products and services, the firm may
sometimes go for subcontracting – instead of expanding capacities immediately. Expansion becomes
a reality only when the firm experiences increased demand for its products for a specified period of
time. Meanwhile, the firm can meet increased demand by allowing an outside specialist agency to
undertake part of the work, to mutual advantage.
Temporary employees: Employees hired for a limited time to perform a specific job are
called temporary employees. They are particularly useful in meeting short term human
resource needs. A short term increase in demand could be met by hiring temporary hands
from agencies specialising in providing such services. It’s a big business idea in United
States these days ($3-$4 billion industry). In this case the firm can avoid the expenses of
recruitment and the painful effects of absenteeism, labour turnover, etc. It can also avoid
fringe benefits associated with regular employment. However, temporary workers do not
remain loyal to the company; they may take more time to adjust and their inexperience may
come in the way of maintaining high quality.
22. 3-22
Employee leasing: Hiring permanent employees of another company who possess
certain specialised skills on lease basis to meet short-term requirements – although
not popular in India – is another recruiting practice followed by firms in developed
countries. In this case, individuals work for the leasing firm as per the leasing
agreement/arrangement. Such an arrangement is beneficial to small firms because it
avoids expense and problems of personnel administration.
Outsourcing: Any activity in which a firm lacks internal expertise and requires on
unbiased opinion can be outsourced. Many businesses have started looking at
outsourcing activities relating to recruitment, training, payroll processing, surveys,
benchmark studies, statutory compliance etc., more closely, because they do not
have the time or expertise to deal with the situation. HR heads are no longer keeping
activities like resume management and candidate sourcing in their daily scrutiny.
This function is more commonly outsourced when firms are in seasonal business and
have cyclical stuffing needs

Recruitment: Indian ExperiencesRecruitment: Indian Experiences
Pepsi:
Pepsi is a flat organisation. There are a maximum of four
reporting levels. Executives here emphasise achievement,
motivation, the ability to deliver come what may. As the
Personnel Manager of Pepsi Foods remarked “we hire
people who are capable of growing the business rather than
just growing with the business”. Recruitees must be capable
of thinking outside the box, cutting the cake of conventional
barriers whenever and wherever necessary. They must
have a winner’s mindset and a passion for creating a
dynamic change. They must have the ability to deal with
ambiguity and informality.
24. 3-24
Reebok:
As Reebok’s customers are young, the company places emphasis on
youth. The average age at Reebok is 26 years. Employees are expected
to have a passion for the fitness business and reflect the company’s
aspirations. Recruitees should be willing to do all kinds of job operations.
The willingness to get one’s hands dirty is important. They must also
have an ability to cope with informality, a flat organisation and be able to
take decisions independently and perform consistently with their clearly
defined goals.
Indian Hotels
The Taj group expects the job aspirants to stay with the organisation
patiently and rise with the company. Employees must be willing to say
‘yes sir’ to anybody. Other criteria include: communication skills, the
ability to work long and stressful hours, mobility, attention to personal
appearance and assertiveness without aggression.

SELECTIONSELECTION
Selection is the process of picking
individuals who have relevant
qualifications to fill jobs in an
organization.
Selection is much more than just
choosing the best candidate. It is an
attempt to strike a happy balance
between what the applicant can and
wants to do and what the organization
requires.
According to Weihirch and
Koontz,
”Selecting manager is
choosing among the
candidates the one who best
meet the position
requirements.”

also the ability to understand instructions and make judgements. They
do not measure any single trait but several mental abilities (memory,
vocabulary, fluency, numerical ability, perception etc)
B. Aptitude tests: They measure a candidate’s potential to learn clerical,
mechanical and mathematical skills. Since they do not measure a
candidate’s on the job motivation, they are generally administered in
combination with other tests.
C. Achievement tests: These are designed to measure what the
applicant can do on the job currently, ir., whether the testee actually
knows what he or she claims to know.
D. Simulation tests: Simulation exercise is a test which duplicates
many of the activities and problems an employee faces while at work.

Basis Recruitment Selection
Meaning Recruitment is the process of searching
the candidates for employment and
stimulating them to apply for jobs in the
organization
selection involves the series of steps by which
the candidates are
screened for choosing the most suitable persons
for vacant posts.
Purpose to create a talent pool of candidates to
enable the selection of
best candidates for the organization, by
attracting more and more employees to
apply in the organization
to choose the right candidate to
fill the various positions in the organization.
Process Recruitment is a positive process i.e.
encouraging more and more employees to
apply
selection is a negative process as it involves
rejection of the unsuitable candidates.
Contract There is no contract of recruitment
established in recruitment
selection results in a contract of service
between the employer and the selected
employee.
Cost Factor Recruitment is not expensive. It mostly
involves only advertisement cost.
Selection is very costly. This is because a lot of
money is spent on conducting different types of
tests, interviews, medical examinations, etc.
Similarly, the experts who conduct selection
procedure are paid very high fees. This makes
selection a very costly process

within the everyday working of a concern. It is a simple and cost-effective
training method. The employees are trained in actual working scenario.
The motto of such training is “learning by doing.”
Off the job training-
Off the job training methods are those in which training is provided away
from the actual working condition.
It is generally used in case of new employees. Instances of off the job
training methods are workshops, seminars, conferences, etc. Such method
is costly and is effective if and only if large number of employees have to
be trained within a short time period
53. 3-53
Simulation ExercisesSimulation Exercises
A. Case study:- Case studies which are prepared based on the
actual experiences of organizations, help the candidates the
real problems faced by managers in organizations.
B. Business Games:- The trainees are divided into different
groups or teams. They play the roles of competing firms in

Determining the wage offered an employee is a function of both internal and external factors (referred to as the “wage mix”). Internal factors include: Employer’s Compensation Policy . Each employer views compensation as one of the variables under their control and so uses pay as a tool for accomplishing organization goals. In general, companies may lead, match, or trail pay standards relative to the competition and/or combine base pay with incentives to reward specific goal-based accomplishment. Worth of a Job . Where a formal compensation system is lacking, pay is set on the subjective opinion of the responsible party’s evaluation of the worth of a job. Employee’s Relative Worth . The differential contributions and accomplishments of different employees (both hourly and salaried), may be reflected in different levels of pay, often within a given range for an employment level. Employer’s Ability to Pay . All organizations have finite budgets and compensation is limited to what is available. External factors include: Conditions of the Labor Market . The labor market reflects the forces of supply and demand for qualified labor within an area. Area Wage Rates . The company should be aware of the prevailing wage rates being paid in the area of operation. Cost of Living . Inflation increases the cost of living and compensation rates have to be adjusted upward periodically. A common benchmark is the consumer price index (CPI), compiled by the federal government. Collective Bargaining . Collective bargaining pools the power of the labor force in an effort to negotiate an increase in real wages (pay increases above the CPI). Legal Requirements . Legislative actions, such as minimum wage laws, typically set a floor for compensation, at least for hourly employees.
