What is the best number of HRM activities can be used (practice) in a company?

1. Careful recruitment and selection, for example, ‘total

quality recruitment’, ‘zero defects recruitment’, ‘right

first time recruitment’.

2. Extensive remuneration systems, for example, bonuses

available for staff willing to be multi-skilled.

3. Team working and flexible job design, for example,

encouraging a sense of cohesiveness and designing

empowered jobs.

4. Training and learning, for example, front line staff having

enhanced interpersonal and social skills.

5. Employee involvement, for example, keeping employees

informed of key changes in the organization.

6. Performance appraisals with links to contingent reward

systems, for example, gathering customer feedback to

recognize the work by employees over and above their

expected duties, which in turn is likely to lead to a bonus

for staff.
