P1. Explain the purpose and the function of HRM, applicable to workforce planning
and resourcing the chosen organization of your choice.
HRM is one of greatest key post in an organization as much as the success of the organization is
concerned because the department of human resource management plans the employment and
development of well being of the people employed in an organization. The number of employees
that serves in M and S Company needs to be recruited from the grass roots, trained in their
various tasks and then kept on the job to deliver the goals of an organization. The right person
for the job that can ensure that organization achieves its objective can only be found if the
department of HRM is competent to get the right person for the job that is in place.
The human resource planning- this is the process that bridges the human resource needs of an
organization to the strategic plans that will ensures that the new recruits are the right people in
terms of experience and qualifications that will enable an organization to achieve its objectives
and goals (Boyne & Entwistle, 2018).
The success of an organizations lies at the hand of the employees that are hired to achieve what
the organization is aiming to achieve and therefore here are some of the greatest tasks that human
resource managers ensures that they carry successfully to avoid the failure of an organization.
Planning- In planning, HRM ensures that the number of employees that an M and S Company
needs are in place, this is because failure to plan on the right number of the work force that is
needed by an organization may lead to huge wage bill that s not necessary for an organization. In
planning, the department of HRM will ensures that they carry a viable research because
collection and analysis of the information is important in order to forecast on the right supply of
the work force for an organization. the right person for the right job determines the future of an
organization. In planning process the key things that the department of HRM does is to staff
members and developing those members for organizational future achievements. Staffing is the
process of bring a new bloods for an organization. Planning and recruitments involves going
outside and getting the qualified people that can carry the mandate o an organization. .Human
