1. HR Planning
First function performed by every manager is Planning. As it sets the base
and shapes all other functions. Knowing where the organisation is today and
future needs is the foremost function of HR. How many and what kind of
people are required in the organisation? Planning bridges the gap between
where we stand today and where we want to reach.
2. Recruitment and Selection

understanding the need(number and type of employee), it is imperative to
attract more people to apply for the job as it will help in choosing better
candidates.
Selection includes “finding the right person for the right job”.
The process of Recruitment and selection has a funnel structure. As number
of selected candidates is less than the number of people who apply for the
job.
