Major Elements of the HR program

According to John Seyfarth (2008), the major elements of an HR program are as follows:
1.  Planning for staffing needs
2.  Evaluating and selecting applicants
3.  Selecting administrative and support personnel
4.  Motivation of personnel
5.  Effective induction
6.  Professional development for educational personnel
7.  Evaluating employee performance
8.  Having some sort of compensation and rewards program
9.  Creating a productive work environment
10. Addressing legal issues in HR
11. Understanding collective bargaining
12. Managing conflicts
13. Termination and reduction in force

An effective human resources program must include all the elements mentioned above by Seyfarth (2008) and have a process in place to address any concerns related to personnel evaluations, selection process, managing conflicts when they arise, concerns with the work environment, process for termination, effective induction, etc.
