Here is a brief explanation of each of the operative functions of HRM:

  • Procurement is the process of finding, attracting, and hiring new employees. This includes activities such as job analysis, recruiting, and selection.
  • Development is the process of helping employees to improve their skills and knowledge. This includes activities such as training, development, and career planning.
  • Integration is the process of helping employees to adjust to their new jobs and to the organization as a whole. This includes activities such as orientation, socialization, and mentoring.
  • Maintenance is the process of keeping employees satisfied and productive. This includes activities such as compensation, benefits, and work-life balance.
  • Discipline is the process of dealing with employee misconduct. This includes activities such as counseling, warnings, and termination.

Personnel research is not an operative function of HRM. It is a support function that provides information and analysis to help HRM professionals make better decisions.
