“All corporate
strengths are
dependent on
people”
– Adi Godrej, Indian

“Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough
so that they don’t wan to.”
“There’s no magic formula for great company culture. The key is just
to treat your staff how you would like to be treated.”
– Sir Richard Branson, CEO and founder of Virgin
“Hire for passion first, experience
second and credentials third.”
– Paul Alofs, CEO Princess Margaret
Cancer Foundation
“It helps to not call
people ‘human
resources’. They’re
people. And, as it
turns out, people like
to be treated like
people. Go figure.”
– Dharmesh Shah, Founder
HubSpot
“Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch
over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that
their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no
advantage to you.”
- Hebrews 13:17
“No servant can serve two masters.
Either he will hate the one and love the
other, or he will be devoted to one and
despise the other. You cannot serve both
God and money.”
– Luke 16:13

13. Concept of HRM
 There have been many different theories
relating to this area of business over the years
 It has become much more than just hiring and
firing staff

14. PM HRM
 Human resources has replaced personnel
management
 PM only concerned with hiring and keeping
records
 PM has become HR in large orgs due to the
broader nature of issues and the number of
staff
 Managers are concerned about productivity
 How much can we get for what we put in (cost
minimisation)
 Humans as a resource are important
 What skills would make a human important in a

15. Changes in Theories
Theory Date Feature
Scientific management Early 1900s • A very structured way to complete each
job
• One best way to do a task
• Needed to find employees who suited
that job
• Wages used as an incentive to perform
task
• Failed to bring behavioural and
productivity changes
Human relations
(behavioural)
management
1920s-40s • Examination of the relationship between
employee satisfaction and productivity
Personnel management 1950s-1970s • Departments whose role was mainly to
recruit staff
• Managing the payroll
Human resource
management
Latter part of
the 20th
• Included in the strategic management
of the org

16. Strategic Importance
 Developing:
 From a separate task to an integrated function
 Serves org’s strategy and objectives
 Prospective employees are assessed carefully
 Ensuring they possess the right skills to help the org
 Often people with a particular skill are needed
 Linking this with someone who fits the corporate
culture is difficult
 What kind of person do we need to suit Groves’
corporate culture?

17.  Go to www.sofitel.com.au
 What kind of corporate culture would they
have based on what you can tell from the
website?
 Let’s say they have a job going to work on the
reception desk, who would get hired from the
next slide…

18. The Sofitel is hiring…who would get
the job?

19. Role of HR Manager
 A HR manager is located at the same level of the
corporate hierarchy as other specialised managers
(such as operations manager, finance manager, etc)
 Why would this be?
 In large organisations, the HRM often has a team below
them dealing with individual aspects of the overall HR
strategy

workers are performing at their best:
1. Job design

23. Venn Diagram

Resources

Resources

24. Motivation, Satisfaction &
Performance
 HR perspective of management sees the staff
as humans – with needs to be fulfilled
 More than just inputs in the production process
 Staff have
 Expectations of a job
 Seek a degree of satisfaction from their work, and
 Need to be motivated to perform their best

25. Expectations
 What do/would you expect from your
workplace?
 Are these expectations fulfilled?
 What happens when your expectations are
fulfilled?

26. Satisfaction
 Job satisfaction is potentially different for each
worker
 It is affected by the expectations you have
 What gives you job/school satisfaction?
 How could you be more satisfied at
work/school?

27. Motivation
 Motivation is what drives someone to put effort
into something
 Very individualised
 Not always positive motivation
 What positive motivation exists for you to do
well at work/school?
 What negative motivation exists for you to do
well at work/school?
 Does motivation = happiness?

28.  Models appear to have a glamorous job

29.  Go to the following link and copy and paste the
article into a Word document
 http://groves.link/unhappymodels

30.  Complete the following based on the article:
 Highlight any words you do not understand and
then look them up – put the definitions at the end
of the document
 What does the research by City University tell you
about the sort of things that human beings need
to feel satisfied and happy?
 Is being motivated the same as being happy?
Explain your answer.

31. Just so you know…
 Due to absences etc we are running a few
lessons behind the Term Overview (perhaps
even a week behind)

32. Human Resource Planning
 Procedural
 Involves:
 Planning
 Attracting
 Maintaining
the workforce

33. Planning Process
 The employment cycle demonstrates the
regular order of an individuals life in a
particular job
 For organisations, this cycle is repeated for
each individual employee who is hired and
eventually departs

34. Employment Cycle (from the org’s perspective)

Place the following stages of
the employment cycle into the
diagram using the
corresponding numbers:
• Career Development
• Counselling/Advice
• Departure
• Exit Interviews
• Induction
• New Skills
• Recruitment
• Selection
• Training

Now, categorise the 9 stages into
the following 3 major concerns of
HR managers:
1. Establishing
2. Maintaining
3. Recruiting
Are there any points where the
cycle may skip or repeat some
stages?

36. Job Analysis
 HR managers must determine the HR needs
of the org
 Staff retire, resign, are fired, promoted, die, etc
and the needs of the business change
 Forecast and plan to meet the org’s future needs
for employees

37. Job Descriptions
 HR managers complete job analysis
 This gives us job descriptions
 What is the point of a job description?
 Parts of a job description:
 Title
 Tasks
 Skills
 Working environment
 Hours of work
 Work practices
 These can help to create selection criteria

38.  Find a job ad on www.seek.com.au which has
a job description with as many of the aspects
listed as possible:
 Title
 Tasks
 Skills
 Working environment
 Hours of work
 Work practices

39. Attraction & Development
 Helps find the right person for the job
 Once they are found, further training and
development has to take place
 Performance appraisals are also used after
hiring to ensure the org knows what training
the new recruit needs

40. 1. Internal
Email, intranet,
noticeboards,
newsletters,
memos, etc
Recruitment
can be done
via two
channels
2. External
Media, agencies,
government,
headhunters,
educational
institutions, previous
applicants, networks,
etc
Recruitment, Selection &
Induction

41.  Recruitment and selection take place after the
org’s HR needs have been identified
 No point hiring a French teacher for Groves and then
realising we don’t teach French
 Recruitment takes 2 steps
1. Communication of vacant position to potential
applicants
1. ie. Putting a job ad in the paper, on the web, etc
2. Making initial contact with applicants
1. ie. Sending a letter or phoning to say they have been
shortlisted/selected for an interview
 Once initial contact has been made, the selection
process takes over

42. Recruitment, Selection &
Induction
 Choosing the most suitable applicant from the pool of
applicants
 Selection process requires:
 A panel to undertake the task
 Selection criteria developed from job specifications/descriptions
 There are usually 4 stages in the selection process:
1. Screening/shortlisting applicants
2. Interviewing applicants
3. Checking applicants’ background
4. Advising applicants of outcome
 Take notes on what these mean from the bottom of p.309
and top of p.310

43. Activities, p.311
 Complete Q1a,b,c

44. Employer of Choice
 Read ‘Employer of Choice’ pp.311-313
 Summarise what you have read in your own
words
 Complete Q1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9(a,b,d,e,g)
 Go to http://groves.link/claytonutz
 What business does Clayton Utz perform?
 With reference to the benefits that Clayton Utz
employees enjoy, which three appeal most to you
and why?
 Would these benefits be possible in every
organisation? Why/why not?

45. Group Activity

 Using the next slide, read the information and
write notes, create visual representations,
