•Designing a management system to deal with the corporate goals and objectives. This will be designed based on determining the workload needed to achieve these goals. The overall aim is to ensure the Human Resource systems are being managed in line with the main objectives and goals of the organization as a whole.
•Studying the current workforce and assessing its effectiveness and potential needs. For instance, the Human Resource department should determine whether roles need to be filled in specific departments in order to meet working quotas or targets. It is then the responsibility of the department to advertise the role and getting it filled within a set period of time. This will also include writing up job descriptions and specifications suitable to the role.
•Looking at the current workforce and making forecasts on any future operational needs. This may include restructuring the workforce or outsourcing specific departments. By looking at the types of skills needed to fill the roles, the organization will be able to get the best suited candidates for specific jobs. This trend forecasting can be achieved by looking at past experiences and looking at other case studies within their sector.
•Making improvements to plans that are already in place. By taking employee feedback on board, make changes to make all processes more accessible and user friendly. Also make sure staff members are aware of their rights when it comes to maternity leave or booking annual leave.
•Making changes and improvements to procedures such as reporting grievances within the workplace. Maintaining confidentiality in all cases and ensuring employees are treated fairly and with the utmost respect at all times. Make sure there are effective action plans in place to deal with all eventualities that could occur within the organization.
