Workforce Planning: Aligning Recruitment and Selection with Company Strategy
Let's consider the importance of workforce planning. A company can have all the right things in place: strong financial resources, a functioning supply chain, and the latest technology. But without talented people, it cannot achieve its goals. This is where workforce planning comes in. Workforce planning aims to find the right people, at the right time, with the right skills. But we first must build our business acumen, and our awareness of our company's unique business environment. HR professionals, as key business partners, must deeply understand the internal/external challenges and competitive landscape in which an organization operates in order to effectively execute any people management program. We begin this unit identifying the importance of aligning recruitment and selection practices (or what we often call talent acquisition) with overall company strategy. In the second and third part of this unit, we examine two key areas of talent acquisition: recruitment, selection. We conclude this module with a look at making sure we have jobs in place that are well-designed, motivating, and rewarding through the use of job design and job analysis.
Recruitment: Finding the Best Candidates
In this module, we take a look at the macro-level strategic considerations in recruiting. We also will examine what makes an effective recruiter, along with where to find prospective employees. Current issues in recruiting are discussed, such as using social media and mobile technology. We then take time to focus on important legal and ethical issues in recruiting, and we wrap up this module with a look at recruitment from a global perspective.
Selection: Choosing the Best Candidates
In this module, we examine the selection process. Like the first two modules, we start from the big picture - what is selection and how do we tie it to strategic goals? We then explore the important legal considerations (U.S. laws) and other best practices in selection, such as avoiding biases and conducting background checks. Next we will see a number of different selection tools you can use to make a better hiring decisions. Lastly, we wrap up the third module by creating and presenting offers to candidates, and analyzing our hiring process for effectiveness.
Special Topic: Onboarding
In module four we will be talking about bringing on your new hire. Having just recruited and hired a new employee, you want to be sure that new employee gets up to speed as quickly as possible and becomes an engaged and excited member of your team. Module four will talk about how to work through a great onboarding process and why that matters to an employee's engagement with the organization.
