Answer 1

Following are the process of staffing-

1. Estimating Manpower requirement

Before starting the work, the manpower requirement of the organization is assessed. Here, two aspects need to be taken into account while determining the requirement of manpower i.e. Type of Employees & Number of Employees.

2. Recruitment:

Recruitment is the process of searching and motivating a large number of prospective employees for a particular job in an organization.

3. Selection:

Under the process of selection, better applicants are selected out of a large number of them. It must be kept in mind that the ability of the applicant & the nature of work must match. It means that the right man should be selected for the right job. This will lead to better performance on all fronts i.e. quality, quantity, time, cost etc.

4. Placement and orientation:

Placement involves putting the selected man in the right place considering his aptitude and ability. It is the actual posting of an employee to a particular job for which he/she has been chosen.

5. Training and Development:

The term training implies a systematic procedure of imparting knowledge and skills for a specific job. It benefits both the enterprise & the employee. Training increases the skills and abilities of employees to perform specific jobs.

6. Performance Appraisal:

At this step, the capability of the employee is judged and for that, his actual work performance is compared with the work assigned to him. If the results are unfavorable, he is again given training and after that also if results are again unfavorable, the employee is put on some other work.

7. Promotion:

It is a process through which employees get a better salary, status, position, more responsibility etc. In this step, employees earn their promotion to higher posts on the basis of their performance.

8. Compensation:

The organization should have a fair salary or wage structure and should give incentives to those who deserve it. This means that jobs must be evaluated and ranked in a manner that contributes to that contribution.

9. Separation:

It is the last step in the process of staffing. It means separating the employees from their job. This takes place in four ways i.e. through retirement, termination, retrenchment or death.
