Understanding the Full HR Journey: What Steps Might Be Missing in Employee Management?

Dear Honorable Members,

Here I am arranging where HR functions start and where it ends as per my understanding. If any one among you feels that I have missed something, then I request you to add it. I am doing this for my understanding.

1. Manpower Planning
2. Recruitment
3. Selection
4. Negotiation on the salary structure/CTC
5. Issuing an offer letter
6. Induction/Orientation/Training if required
7. OJT training (may not be applicable in all cases)
8. Completion of Probation
9. Issuing an Appointment Letter/Confirmation letter
10. Performance Appraisal
11. Employee resigns
12. Exit formalities.

With regards,
