HR Flowcharts

Human resources are those who make up the workforce of some particular organization, economy or business sector. The "human capital" term may be understood as a synonym to the "human resources’" one. But at the same time, “human capital” one usually refers to a narrower view such as the knowledge the individuals embody as well as the economic growth. Some other terms that can sometimes be used in place of “human resources” include “talent”, “manpower”, “labor”, “people”, or “personnel”.

Any human-resources, or HR, department of some organization is expected to perform human resource management, overseeing different aspects of employment (e.g., compliance with labor law and some of the employment standards), some aspects of dismissal and recruitment, as well as administration of employee benefits.

It is known that any HR manager is responsible for identifying work-related needs of staff, using temporary staff or hiring employees to meet such needs, recruiting and training the best employees, monitoring their work, managing relationships with employees, payroll, benefits and compensation, preparing personal policies and employee records, ensuring high efficiency, ensuring equal opportunities for all employees, dealing with discrimination and other performance issues. Ensuring that human resources practices conform to the regulations and pushing the employees' motivation so they achieve more within their organization, HR managers might find the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software a useful tool for making the needed HR-related drawings.

The HR Flowcharts solution is ideal for using while creating the HR-related drawings in the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM charting and drawing software, providing with a comprehensive collection of human resources themed icons, connectors, and images from the available stencil libraries, helping illustrating flowcharts, infographics and workflow diagrams.

Using this solution for mapping the HR-related management processes on every phase of human resource management, including the hiring process, the process of recruitment, payroll systems and human resource development, the HR managers, same as many other managers, such as the project ones, may achieve more in their work spending less time on their tasks.

This sample created on the base of the Wikipedia file "UK Labour Market Categories.png" represents the standardized notation form of flowchart that is most commonly used. It demonstrates the UK labour market categories and the kind of questions that any worker must answer to make themselves ready for recruitment. The employer hires employees to perform certain functions, to provide services to the company on a regular basis in exchange for payment. At this, the employee must have certain knowledge, qualification, and skills that are determined at the moment of the interview with the employer. So, the moment of recruitment is really important for both employer and future employee. As can be seen from the flowchart, the first question for the hired person is about his age, and only if the candidate's age is over 16, he can be included to UK labour market statistics and his testing proceeds. The HR icons and symbols used in this flowchart serve to emphasize the steps and decisions.

HR Flowcharting

Human resources is the term given to the people who make up the employee workforce of an organization or company. It was initially used simply as a synonym for manpower or labour; latterly, with the advent of globalization, a cottage industry has grown regarding human resource strategy, as a way of enhancing business value through management of the workforce.

The idea of human resource management (HRM, or HR) has its roots in the human relations movement of the early 20th century. Initially, the theory was applied more towards transactional processes, such as the administration of payments, holidays and benefits. Soon the focus would turn directly to the labor force, and the idea of workplace productivity began to take importance. A gradual change in HR policy meant that workers began to be view less as cogs in a machine, subject to unrealistic production demands, and more like an asset to the company, who can be trained and rewarded in order to provide even greater productivity in their work.

In modern times, the importance of HRM has been fully accepted and integrated into working life, to the point where the HR department of a business will often be one of the largest divisions in the company. At a macro-level, HR is responsible for leadership strategies and workplace culture, adhering to labor laws, health and safety, and security. On a more individual basis, they will deal with worker grievances, performance reports, and all steps of the hiring process.

This emphasis on employee satisfaction and training is not just an altruistic notion; it has become necessary because of the changing way of doing business. Companies have realized that constantly replacing a workforce is costly, inefficient and time-consuming — it's much more preferable to retain employee talent and knowledge, with a lower employee turnover. Business has changed in a global sense too — companies regularly trade internationally, with a wide range of partners, across different customs, cultures, and laws. As such, the modern HR department will find itself involved in the strategy behind mergers and acquisitions, diversity and inclusion, and industrial and labor relations.

It can be said that human resource management has four basic functions — staffing, training and development, motivation, and maintenance. The points below show some of the processes involved with each function.

  • Recruitment
  • Interviewing
  • HR networking
  • Job descriptions
  • Turnover reduction

Human Resource Development

Example 2. Human Resource Development

With such a large and varied workload, it can be useful for an HR manager to design and create business process maps, that illustrate a specific process within the company. These can take the form of flowcharts, infographics or workflow diagrams. Specific diagrams work better with certain processes — for instance a flowchart acts a solution to a given problem; each step of the solution is represented by a box, from which multiple connections can flow dependent on the decision made at that step. An infographic is used as a graphical representation of data or knowledge, and act upon the human visual capability of spotting patterns and trends. All aspects of HR management can be mapped with their use, from macro to micro level — the versatility of flowcharts mean that one can be used to chart data flow through the payroll software system, or a more esoteric diagram can show HR management response and strategy in a given situation.

The advantages of business process mapping are numerous. They can be used as a plan, to try and stop initial mistakes with implementation; you see processes as part of a bigger picture, and can adapt them for certain scenarios; it can help you eliminate unnecessary steps, or speed up/automate parts of the process. Presenting data in visual form creates a unified message or strategy, and allows for easy distribution amongst team members.
