Human Resource Planning
The starting point in attracting qualified human resources is planning. HR planning, in
turn, involves job analysis and forecasting the demand and supply of labor.
Job Analysis
Job analysis
is a systematic analysis of jobs within an organization. A
job analysis is made up of two parts. The job description lists the duties of a job, the
job’s working conditions, and the tools, materials, and equipment used to perform it.
The job specification lists the skills, abilities, and other credentials needed to do the job.
Job analysis information is used in many human resource activities. For instance,
National Labor
Relations Board

Wagner Act to
enforce its
provisions
