ESSENTIALS OF HUMAN RESOURCE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT (As Per NEP 2020)

Till a few years ago some organizations had a department by the name of ‘Personnel department’. Usually, the functions of this department used to be clubbed with some other larger department in the organization. In the public sector this department was known as ‘Establishment section’ and the officer carried out the duties related to employees in addition to his responsibilities of some other ‘more important’ department. In short, not much importance was attached to the work related to the employees. But, of late, the importance of an independent full-fledged department has dawned on the employers and to-day we find every organization, (private as well as the public sector undertaking) has a Human Resource Management Department entrusted with all activities related to personnel – right from recruitment of an employee to his final discharge from service.
