Staffing & HR – Recruitment, selection and retention of store managers and supervisors
Staffing is basically the management practice that deals with the process of finding, evaluating
and selecting and then maintaining a operating relationship with existing and all new future
employees of an entity. It involves the basic step of fulfilling all available seats and roles with
right candidate inside an organisation. Staffing basically consists of many steps in its
management. This managerial activity consists of various different actions that need to be
followed for its working. These can be recruitment, selection, training, developing, promotions
and compensating of all existing and new employees(Averina, Avdeeva and Perevalova, 2018).

other monetary benefits. These are given to those existing employees who are professionals of
