HUMAN SOURCE MANAGEMENT
For any organization to survive in this competitive world, it is important that an organization
have necessary resources, competencies and the right people.
According to Wilton (2013) “HRM refers to the framework of philosophies, policies,
procedures and practices for the management of the relationship that exists between an
employer and worker
Human resource management (HRM) is considered to be the core in any organization as
resources like money, materials, machine etc... are used effectively and efficiently by the
positive effort of human resource. For the past decades the human resource (HR) vocation
has changed drastically to become an integral element of the organization.
The school of thought developed by Torrington et al (2009) are classified as follows.
Staffing objectives.
Staffing is an integral part of the management process as it consists of individuals who are
involved in obtaining management results. It is a function carried out at all levels of the
organisation by all managers. Every manager must get his subordinates to do things. It is a
wide-ranging role. It involves activities such as

1. Recruitment
Recruitment is one among the important element in the staffing objectives. In order to attract
potential candidates in an organisation with the right skills, ability, talent, and aptitude, it is
important for an organisation to recruit effectively and ensure that the recruitment process is done
in an efficient manner. There are two types of recruitment either internal recruitment, such as
promoting someone from within the organization or the position requires external expertise.
There are many ways in which an organisation can advertise.

iv. Recruitment agencies.
A consistent advert should have the name of the company. The advertisement must be well
presented and include, job title, description of the job as well as the responsibilities. Subsequently
it will help the organization to achieve their goals and objectives effectively and efficiently
through proper contribution of man power.
