GROWTH In the transformation of the largely unorganized seed sector to a more organized one, the policies of the government of India played a significant role. In 1988, the private sector got a huge boost in growth with the removal of restrictions by the government order liberalizing seed import through open general license and removing tariff barriers. This move resulted in import of hybrid seeds in cabbage, cauliflower, chilies, etc besides large quantities of seeds of carrot and beetroot by private seed companies. This act also encouraged healthy competition in local research efforts leading to release of several hybrids by the private seed industry. Subsequently foreign direct investments flow increased, joint ventures were set up and there was import of germless. Presently the private seed industry comprises of the following categories: (a) Local companies dealing predominantly with open pollinated varieties. (b) Indian companies marketing hybrids sourced from abroad. (c) Indian companies developing, producing amend and marketing hybrids.

Human resource management is a series of decisions that affect the relationship between employees and employers; it affects many constituencies and is intended to influence the effectiveness of employees and employer.
Edwin. B. Flippo;Management is the planning, organizing, directing and controlling of the procurement, development, compensation, integration, maintenance, and separation of human resource to the end that individual, organizational and social objectives are accomplished. Human resource management (HRM) is concerned with the people dimension in management. Since every organization is made up of people, acquiring their services, developing their skills, motivating them for high level performance, and ensuring that they continue to maintain their commitment to the organization are essential to achieving organizational objectives. This is true regardless of the type of organization government, business, education, health, recreation, or social action. Getting and keeping good people is critical to the success of every organization, whether profit or non-profit, pubic or private. Those organizations that able to acquire, develop, stimulate, and keep outstanding workers will be both effective (able to achieve their goals) and efficient (expending the least amount of resources necessary).Those organizations that are ineffective or inefficient risk of hazards of stagnating or going out of business. Survival of an organization requires competent mangers and workers coordinating their efforts towards an ultimate goal. While successful coordination cannot guarantee success, organizations that are unsuccessful in getting such coordination from mangers and workers will ultimately fail. Managing people is one of the most critical aspects of organizational management in the 21st century. No matter whether an organization is a non-profit, start-up enterprise, or mature business employees are crucial to achieving objectives, delivering results and being successful the activity once known as personnel and now more commonly described as human resource management (HRM) is seen as a
Page 15
fundamental aspect of successful management. HRM guide focuses on the theory and practice of managing human resources.
HRM MODEL In recent years there has been relative management among HRM specialists as to what constitutes the field of HRM. The model that provided that focus was developed by the American society for training and development (ASTD). In its study, ASTD identified eight human resource areas: Training and development. Organization and development. Organization/job design. Human following resource planning. Selection and staffing. Personnel research and information systems. Compensation and benefits. Union/ labor relations. These areas have been termed spokes of the wheel in that each area impacts on the human resources outputs, quality of work life, productivity and readiness for change. FUNCTIONS OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT:
Page 16
HRM has a crucial role to play in the enterprise. Looking into its role the following functions can be associated with the HRM: 1. Identifying and Developing Employees: The success of all organizations depends upon the quality of persons it employs. HRM assist in searching right persons for the fight jobs. Employees are developed for taking up different jobs. All employees may not be suitable for all jobs. Employees are given jobs as per their aptitudes. Employees are imparted right type of training to develop their potentialities to the maximum. They are also motivated to contribute their maximum to the enterprise. 2. Retaining Suitable Employees: The fast development of technology is bringing new challenge everyday. Modernization of various techniques, computerization of data processing, introduction of micro-process controlled machines, revolution in communication techniques, have resulted in demand for trained and highly skilled persons. HRM not only helps in procuring suitable persons but is also golden retaining them. If they have become a redundant work force because of new developments, an effort should be made to offer golden handshake to them. 3. Creating Work Culture: HRM approach emphasis the development of employees capabilities, potentialities and using it for attaining organizational goals. The aspirations, aims and priorities of individual employees are given due weight age in the schemes of the organization. Human resource planning is backed by human values, understanding ad concern for the welfare of people. Employees in the enterprise will reciprocate by improving their efficiency, motivation, self co-ordination and greater co-operation. The work culture in the organization improves; people feel satisfied and enjoy their work. 4. Educating the Executives and Managers:
Page 17
HRM approach ill succeed only when managerial personnel change their attitude towards employees. There is a need to educate executives, managers and top management regarding various aspects of the human resources approach adopted in the organization. 5. Conducting Research: HRM will be successfully only if we know the aspirations and expectations of various persons working in the organization. The preparing of human resource policies, strategies and approaches depend upon the information collected through research. 6. Developing an Effective Communication System: There is a need to develop downward, upward and lateral communication in the organization. HRM develops a system of communication where policies of the management are properly communicated to the lowest level of hierarchy and feedback from lower levels is conveyed to the top management communication system helps in understanding the view points of each other and taking up remedial steps, if needed.
OBJECTIVES OF HRM The primary objectives of HRM are to ensure the availability of a competent and willing workforce to an organization. Beyond this, there are other objectives too. Specifically, HRM objectives are four fold-societal, organizational, functional and personal. societal objectives organizational objectives functional objectives personal objectives

INTRODUCTION TO RECRITMENT HRP helps determine the number and type of people an organization needs. Job analysis and job design specify the tasks and duties of jobs and the qualification expected from perspective job holders. The next step is to hire the right number of people of the right type to fill the jobs. Before coming to details of recruitment, it is useful to note that hiring, contrary to popular perception, is an ongoing process and not confined to the formative stages of an organization. Employees leave the organization in search of greener pastures - some retire and some die. More importantly, an enterprise grows, diversifies, and takes over other units- all necessitating hiring of a new men and women. In fact, the hiring function stops only when the organization ceases to exit. In simple terms, recruitment is understood as the process of searching for and obtaining applicants for jobs, from among whom the right people can be selected. A formal definition of recruitment is: BANGALORE INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 20
It is a process of finding and attracting capable applicants for employment; the process begins when new recruits are sought and ends when their applications are submitted. The result is a pool of applicants from which new employees are selected. Though, theoretically, process is said to tend with the receipt of applications, in practice the activity extends to the screening of applications so as to eliminate those who are not qualified for the job. Recruitment policy: Recruitment policy of any organization is derived from the personnel policy of the same organization. In other words, the former is a part of the latter. However, recruitment policy by itself should take into consideration the governments reservation policy, policy regarding sons of soil etc. personnel policies of other organizations regarding merit, internal sources, social responsibility in absorbing minority sections, women etc. recruitment policy should commit itself to the organizations personnel policy like enriching the organizations human resources or serving the community by absorbing the worker sections and disadvantaged people of the society, motivating the employees through internal promotions, improving the employee loyalty to the organization by absorbing the retrenched or laid off employees or casual/ temporary employees or dependents of present/ former employees etc. The following factors should be taken into consideration in formulating recruitment policy. They are; Government policies. Personnel policies of the other competing organizations. Organizations personnel policies. Recruitment sources. Recruitment needs. Recruitment costs. Page 21
Promotion Promotion means an improvement in pay, prestige, position and responsibility of an employee within his/her organization.
Purpose of Promotion The purpose of Promotion may be outlined as follows: To motivate employees to higher productivity. To attract and retain the services of qualified and competent people. To recognize and reward the efficiency of an employee. To fill up higher vacancies from within the organization.
Transfers A transfer involves a change in the job (accompanied by the change in the place of the job) of an employee without a change in responsibilities. A transfer differs from a promotion in that the latter involves a change in which a significant increase in the responsibility, status and income occurs, but all these elements
Page 22
are stagnant in the former. Another difference is that transfers are regular and frequent as in the banks and other government establishments, but promotions are infrequent, if not irregular. External Recruitment Campus recruitment Employee referrals Consultancies Advertisement Job sites
Purpose The general purpose of recruitment is to provide a pool of potentially qualified job candidates. Specifically, the purposes are to: Determine the present and future requirements of the organization in conjunction with its personnel-planning and job analysis activities. Increase the pool of job candidates at minimum cost. Help increase the success rate of the selection process by reducing the number of visibly, under-qualified or over qualified job aspirants. Meet the organization legal and social obligations regarding the composition of its work force. Increase organizational and individual effectiveness in the short term and the long term. Evaluate the effectiveness of the various recruiting techniques and sources for all types of job applicants. Recruitment represents the first contact that the company makes with potential employees. It is through recruitment that many individuals will come to know a company, and eventually decide whether they wish to work for it. A well planned and BANGALORE INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 23
well managed recruiting effort will result in high quality applicants, whereas a haphazard and piecemeal effort will result in Medicare ones. High quality employees cannot be selected when better candidates do not know of job openings, or not interested in working for the company and do not apply. The recruitment process should inform qualified individuals about employment opportunities, create a positive image of the company provide enough information about the jobs so that applicants can make comparisons with their qualifications and interests, and generate enthusiasm among the best candidates so that they will apply for the vacant positions. The negative consequences of the poor recruitment process speak volumes about its role in an organization. The failure to generate an adequate number of reasonably qualified applicants can prove costly in several ways. It can greatly complicate the selection process and may result in lowering of selection standards. The poor quality of selection means extra cost on training and supervision. Advantages and Disadvantages of Internal Recruiting: Internal recruiting is the search for in-house employees who have the abilities and the attitudes to fulfill the requirements needed and to help the organization its objectives. Advantages of internal recruiting: Recruiting costs: Since the recruiting machinery is focused on an already existing pool of employees to fill a vacant position, and therefore selection and socializing processes are less time and money consuming, internal recruiting tends to be less expensive than external recruiting. Motivation: The prospect of potential promotion or transfers provides a clear sign to the current work force that the organization offers room for advancement. This addresses the employees need for self-achievement. The motivational concepts are: BANGALORE INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 24
Familiarity: The familiarity of the employee has two side effects On the one hand the employee is familiar with the organizations policies, procedures, and customs. At the same time, the organization has established an employment history showing the workers formal and informal skills and abilities.
It keeps the employee with high morale. Good and better relationship is established.
Disadvantages of internal recruiting: 1. Inbreeding: One breeding of extensive internal recruiting is the reduced likelihood of innovation and new perspectives. A lack of new employees from the outsides leads to a lack of new ideas and approaches. 2. EEO Criteria: a use of the internal pool for the consideration of vacant positions can lead to conflicts with the Equal Employment Opportunity commission. The organization has to ensure and continuously check its balance if a diverse workforce. This has to relate to the organizations legal, political and geographical environment. 3. More training: Internal recruitment demands a higher degree of employee training. In order to develop the skills needed to train the current workforce in new processes and technologies, the organization has to provide more expensive training programmes.
Advantages and Disadvantages of External Recruiting: Advantages of External Recruiting: Since recruitment is done in a wider market, the best and suitable candidates from outside can be selected for the organization. BANGALORE INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 25
Experienced person from other organizations may join the firm and so the firm gets trained peoples from external sources. Selecting persons from outsiders sources will bring in new ideas, concepts and methods. This helps in change in the philosophy and attitude of the organization. Gives employment opportunity to many peoples.
Disadvantages of External Recruiting: Present employees may lose their sense of security and become disloyal to the employer. The employer-employee relation may be seriously affected. Sometimes the new candidate may find it difficult to adjust to the new environment. This type of recruitment is more time consuming.
SELECTION Selection is a process of picking individuals (out of a pool of job applicants) with requisite qualifications and competence to fill jobs in the organization. A formal definition of selection is: It is a process of differentiating between applicants in order to identify (and hire) those with a greater likelihood of success if a job. It is the process of picking the individual with the requisite qualification and competence to fill the jobs in the organization. Selection process is done through panel interviews. The interviews will be internal recruitment committee and government directors. ROLE OF SELECTION The role of selection in an organizations effectiveness is crucial for at least two reasons: BANGALORE INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 26
First, work performance depends on individuals. The best way to improve performance is to hire people who have the competence and the willingness to work. Arguing from the employees point of view, poor or inappropriate choice can be demoralizing to the individual concerned (who finds himself or herself in the wrong job) and de-motivating to the rest of the workforce. Effective selection, therefore assumes greater relevance. Second, cost incurred in recruiting and hiring personnel speaks about the role of selection. An organization with a false positive error incurs three types of costs. The first type is incurred while the person is employed. This can be the result of production or profit losses, damaged company reputation, accidents due to negligence, absenteeism and the like. The second type of costs is associated with the training, transfer or terminating the services of the employee. Costs of replacing an employee with fresh onecosts of hiring, training, and replacement- constitute the third type of costs. Generally, the more important of the job is the greater cost of the selection error. Steps in selection process 1. Job analysis 2. Recruitment 3. Application form 4. Written examination 5. Preliminary interview 6. Group discussion 7. Tests 8. Final interview 9. Medical examination 10. Reference checks 11. Final discussion by the manager 12. Employment
Page 27
STRUCTURE OF RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION PROCESS The process of recruitment and selection has two steps. First step- Prior selection (pre-screening), which is conducted on the base of the information from the nomination from the candidate please note that we use the general form 5A is provide by the federal commission. Second step - Interview of the candidates with experts. Prior selection 1. All forms of candidates are collected from office and sent to office of the program for screening. 2. The following criteria are concerned: Education in the area of Management Business Administration. Experience in the area of Management. Training objectives (orientation of professional growth) Level of English. Clear understanding of expected training results. Availability of providing training in the framework of requested theme. 3. If candidate finds a host company within at the time of applying for the programme, then this candidate has a priority for selection among other candidates. 4. Please also provide an application form expressing your willingness to participate in the program and reliable comments on participation in other DonorProgammes (if so), and their answer. 5. Candidates meeting those requirements are invited for the interview. BANGALORE INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 28
6. Candidates, who didnt pass prior selection, are strongly prohibited for being interviewed, unless rejection conditions are changed.
2. Interview The interview has two parts: (1) Administrative. (2) Selective. Administrative part includes: General overview on the program background and functioning, and reviewing as well as general description of the further administrative Procedures. This session is conducted by the office. The selective part of the interview is conducted individually by the commission of one or two programme experts from the management. During the Interview experts will ask about: 1. To confirm the contact information as well as the name of your company and position is correct. 2. To describe your duties and some current projects, as well as to show the place that your department occupies in your company. 3. Describe more details about the profile of your company- what product it actually produces, what plans it has, etc. 4. Describe your main objectives, as well as the expected results of your training and how and where you will use the experience which is gained. 5. Advice the most suitable type of training: vertical, horizontal, or combined. It is worth mentioning that, due some changes in the training program and especially decreasing the numbers of groups taken to, the level of language knowledge (English) is also considered as one of the major factors in final selection. ORIENTATION
Page 29
Orientation also called induction, which is designed to provide a new employee with the information; he or she needs to function comfortably and effectively in the organization. A formal definition of orientation is planned introduction of employees to their jobs, their co-workers and the organization. Typically, orientation conveys three types of information (a) a review of the organizations history, findings, objectives, operations and products or services, as well as how the employees job contributes to the organization needs. (b) a detailed presentation in a brochure of the organizations policies, work rules and employees benefits. PURPOSE Organizations are known to send a few weeks or even months on orientation programmes. The idea is to make the new employees feel at home in the new environment. It is a well known fact that employees feel anxious on entering an organization. They worry about how well they perform the new jobs. They feel inadequate when they compare themselves with the more experienced employees, and they are concerned about how well they will get along with their co-workers. Effective organization programmes reduce the anxiety of new employees by providing them information on the job environment and on supervisors, by introducing them to coworkers, and by encouraging them to ask questions. The ease with which employees adjust to a new job and work environment is, often a function of the expectations which they bring to the job. If expectations are realistic, adjustments will be relatively simple. However, expectations are unrealistic or unreasonable, adjustment will be more difficult. In the latter case, orientation can be instrumental in modifying employee expectations. In one study of considerable importance, researches discovered the following about new employees: 1. The first day of the job was anxious and disturbing ones. 2. New employees initiation by peers intensified anxiety. 3. Anxiety interfered with the training process. BANGALORE INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 30
4. Turnover of newly hired employees were cause primarily by anxiety. 5. The new workers were reluctant to discuss problems with their supervisors. Employee orientation is aimed at minimizing such problems. Orientation seeks to expose new employees to all areas of the organization. This prevents inducts from getting overspecialized. Induction makes new hires become productive to company quickly. Finally a good orientation programme will create a favorable impression of the organization, and its works. Just as favorable first impression of an individual helps to form a good relationship, so a good initial impression of a company, a co-worker, a supervisor can help a new employee adjust better. Further, effectiveness of an orientation programme can have a lasting effect on absenteeism and turnover. PLACEMENT After an employee has been hired and oriented, he or she must be placed in his/ her right job. Placement is understood as the allocation of people to jobs. It is the assignment or re-assignment of an employee to new or different jobs. Placement includes initial assignment of new employees and promotion, transfer or demotion of the present employees. In this section, placement of new employees is emphasized. Placement arising out of transfers, promotions and demotions that will be discussed later. Assignment of a new employee to a job apparently seems to be a simple task. The employer advertises inviting applications from candidates for a specified post. The advertisement contains job description and job speciation in detail. When a candidate has been selected, it is logical that he or she is placed in the position that was advertised earlier. But the task is not simple as it looks. Times are changing. Changes in the work ethics reflecting the demand for meaningful work 1. Increased government pressure to hire and promote women. 2. Heightened awareness of the fact that organizations have many jobs but each individual has only one career.
Page 31
All jobs of these factors are causing organizations and individuals to examine the placement process more closely. We are entering an age when applicants must be considered for several jobs rather than one. If an individual fails to meet minimal requirements in one job, he or she will be considered for other available jobs and will probably be offered employment in one of them. From a managerial perspective, the task is to understand and capitalize on each persons individuality. Since human beings attribute vary along with man relatively independent ability, interests, biographical sketch, and personality dimensions. A persons individuality is the best viewed as his or her unique profile of scores on a variety of individual measures. Once we establish this unique profile for each individual, people and jobs can be matched optimally within the constraints set by available jobs and available people. If the number of individuals is large in relation to the available jobs, only the best qualified persons can be selected and placed. On the other hand, when more jobs are available, optimal placement is possible. Thus, the number of people and the number of jobs determine the placement process in any organization.

3. To identify present gaps and shortcoming in training and induction programmes. 4. Giving guidelines as to how to make these programmes more effective and useful. 5. To highlight constructive suggestions in this regard to the company. OPERATIONAL DEFINITIONS OF THE CONCEPT 1. Recruitment:A process to discover the sources of manpower to meet the requirements of the staffing schedule and to employ effective measures for attracting that manpower in adequate numbers to facilitate effective selection of efficient workforce. 2. Selection:It is a process of differentiating between applicants in order to identify (and hire) those with a greater likelihood of success in a job. 3. Induction;Induction is a process of receiving and welcoming an employee when he first joins and giving him the basic information that he needs to settle down quickly and start work. 4. Placement;The determination of the job to which an accepted candidate is to be assigned and his assignment to that job. It is matching of what the supervisor has reason to think he can do with the job demands (job requirements), it is a matching of what he imposes(in strain, working conditions)and what he offers in the form of payroll, companionship with other, promotional possibilities etc 5. Research;Among practicing managers, the term research frequently carries the connotation of academic mumbo jumbo or irrelevant findings that have little generalize ability to BANGALORE INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES Page 35
practice. Research, mean a systematic and goal oriented investigation of facts that establish a relationship between two or more phenomena. METHODOLOGY OF DATA COLLECTION SOUCERS OF DATA 1.
