4. Explain the role of HRM in organizations
Most experts agree on seven main roles that HRM plays in organizations → These are
described in the following sections:
1. Staffing
Staffing involves the entire hiring process from posting a job to negotiating a salary package
→ Within the staffing function, there are four main steps:
1) Development of a staffing plan: This plan allows HRM to see how many people they
should hire based on revenue expectations

2) Development of policies to encourage multiculturalism at work: Multiculturalism in the
workplace is becoming more and more important, as we have many more people from a
variety of backgrounds in the workforce
3) Recruitment: This involves finding people to fill the open positions
4) Selection: In this stage, people will be interviewed and selected, and a proper
compensation package will be negotiated. This step is followed by training, retention, and
motivation
2. Development of Workplace Policies
Every organization has policies to ensure fairness and continuity within the organization →
One of the jobs of HRM is to develop the verbiage surrounding these policies. In the
development of policies, HRM, management, and executives are involved in the process
Some examples of workplace policies might be the following:
• Discipline process policy
• Vacation time policy
• Dress code
• Ethics policy
• Internet usage policy
3. Compensation and Benefits Administration
HRM professionals need to determine that compensation is fair, meets industry standards,
and is high enough to entice people to work for the organization → Compensation includes
anything the employee receives for his or her work → In addition, HRM professionals need
to make sure the pay is comparable to what other people performing similar jobs are being
paid → This involves setting up pay systems that take into consideration the number of
years with the organization, years of experience, education, and similar aspects
Examples of employee compensation include the following:
• Pay
• Health benefits
• 401(k) (retirement plans)
• Stock purchase plans
• Vacation time
• Sick leave
• Bonuses
• Tuition reimbursement
4. Retention
Retention involves keeping and motivating employees to stay with the organization
