management.

Staffing includes the selection of right employees for the right job at the right time and
place. Recruitment and selection is one of the key aspects of human resource management due to
the reason that, the competitive advantages along with the effectiveness of the organizations will
get enhanced only when the employees having right set of skill are being employed for the right
job profile (Shields et al., 2015). Moreover, the process of recruitment and selection should be

requirement of the organization.
According to Chaneta (2014), initiation of effective process of recruitment and selection
will help the organization in having the rightly skilled employees in every job positions, which
will in turn equip the organization to face any business challenge. Moreover, according to the
author, initiation of effective process of recruitment and selection will help the organization to

due to the fact that, the employees with the help of the effective process of recruitment and
selection will be employed after effectively matching with the requirement and organizational

Employee compensation and perquisites
On the other hand, providing employee compensation and perquisites helps the
organization to motivate the employees in their workplace. According to Bryant and Allen
(2013), providing suitable compensation and benefits to the employees will help the organization
to retain the top performing employees in the organization along with attracting new potential
talents. Moreover, according to the authors, providing the suitable compensation to the
employees will help to enhance the level of motivation and involvement of the employees in
their workplace. Thus, providence of suitable compensation and benefits to the employees will
have positive impression among the employees along with enhancing their organizational
commitment.
Thus, with the creation of positive impression among the employees regarding the
welfare benefits being initiated by the organization, the employees will be more motivated in
their workplace. It will help the organization to gain more productivity from them. Moreover, it
is also be discussed by the authors that, increase in the job satisfaction of the employees will
reduce the chance of employee issues in the organization (Lazaroiu, 2015). This is due to the
reason that, enhancement in the level of job satisfaction among the employees will reduce the
chance of any grievance among the employees.

accomplish better job goals. Thus, according to the author, maintaining the effective working
environment will help to increase the productivity of the employees along with having the higher
retention rate.
Moreover, according to the author, workplace health and safety involves creating of
effective working environment and providing various health and safety benefits to the employees
in case of any unwarranted incidents (Friend & Kohn, 2014). Thus, if the employees are being
offered health and hygiene working environment, then they will also feel motivated to enhance
their productivity and effectiveness in their workplace.

and skill development programs for the employees. Providing effective and suitable training to
the employees will help the organization to enhance the skills of the employees according to the
change in the business scenario. Thus, the employees will be more equipped and trained to face
the organizational challenges. As stated by Sung and Choi (2014), there are various benefits of
providing employee training and development due to the reason that, the overall effectiveness of

the employees will also get increased with the help of skill development and training programs
due to the reason that the employees will have more expertise and knowledge to counter issues,
which will be generated in their job profiles (Ji et al., 2012). However, it is being also stated by
the authors that in initiation of the training programs of the employees, organizations will have to
incur cost. But effective implementation and designing the training programs will help to gain
positive outcome from the incurred cost.

relationship between the upper level management and the employees. This is due to the reason
that, the more effective will be the relationship between the upper and middle level hierarchy
levels, the more will be the effectiveness of the organizational procedures. According to the
opinion being given by Awadh and Alyahya (2013), human resource management helps the
organizations to enhance the effectiveness of their internal culture in order to maintain a positive
relationship between the internal stakeholders.
According to the authors, the more effective will be the relationship between the internal
stakeholders, the more will be the organizational effectiveness. This is due to the reason that,
according to the authors, due to the presence of effective relationship among the internal
stakeholders, the employees will be more motivated to share their grievances and feedback to
their superiors and the communication of the upper level managers will also be effectively reach
to the employees. Thus, the employees will also be more aware about the organizational
requirement and vision.
