Staffing Class 12 - Frequently Asked Questions
Staffing Class 12 - Frequently Asked Questions
What is staffing in Class 12 Business Studies Chapter 6?
Staffing is the management function of filling, and keeping filled, the positions in the organisation structure - through manpower planning, recruitment, selection, placement, orientation, training, appraisal, promotion and compensation. It is the second function of management after planning and organising.
What are the steps of the staffing process?
The NCERT staffing process has nine steps: (1) estimating manpower requirements, (2) recruitment, (3) selection, (4) placement and orientation, (5) training and development, (6) performance appraisal, (7) promotion and career planning, (8) compensation, (9) separation.
What are the differences between recruitment and selection?
Recruitment is the process of searching for and attracting prospective candidates (a positive, enlarging process). Selection is the process of choosing the most suitable candidate from the applicant pool (a negative, narrowing process). Recruitment precedes selection.
What is vestibule training?
Vestibule training is an off-the-job training method where trainees learn on duplicate (not live) equipment in a separate room. It is used when training on live machines would be unsafe, costly or disruptive to regular production - exactly the situation where workers must learn hi-tech machines without halting the shop floor.
