Functions of a HR Manager
5 Functions of a HR Manager
5.1 Entry to Exit: Managing the Employee Lifecycle
If we take each of these activities in turn, we find that hiring is done in conjunction with the line managers who put out their requirements periodically on the kind of recruits they want and the number of recruits they want. Once the request reaches the HR manager, he or she has to scour the market for potential recruits. Usually, the HR manager does not personally do this and outsources this function to a placement consultancy.
Role of HR Manager
The next step is the interview stage after the shortlists are done and this is an activity where the HR manager either delegates the task of assessing the potential recruits to the staffing team or does the job personally.
After the interview stage is over, the important task of fixing the salary and benefits of the successful candidates has to be done. This is usually the time when the HR manager plays a critical role as he or she has to determine the fit between the role and the candidate and decide on the quantum of salary and benefits that is appropriate to the role and after examining the budgets for the same.
5.2 The Appraisal Process and the Exit Interviews
After these activities, the HR manager is also involved in conducting the last stage of appraisals or evaluating the appraisals. What this means is that the HR manager has to work closely with the line managers to get this done.
The last activity that the HR manager is involved in is conducting the exit interviews when employees leave the organizations. This is usually done on the last day of the employee’s stay in the organization and this process consist of a free and frank discussion on what the employee feels about the organization and why he or she is leaving the organization. The exit interviews offer valuable sources of insights into organizational behavior as the employees can vent their feelings on what works and what does not work in organizations.

Dear Hemantha,
ReplyDeleteThe departing employee should be departed in a positive impression towards the organization.In the exit interview it is a must to treat the employee with respect and gratitude as they will spread the month of words to the society.It is an indirect promotion method.The future doors can be opened.The relevant employer must pre-plan and pre-prepare for the session.Each and every remaining job related earnings should be paid for the employee.And it will be important to manage an informative database of the exiting employees.These areas can be improved.Do you agree with me?
