I think the most important Human Resources activity would be the training and developing employees because they can hire just about anyone with as much experience as you like but if they aren't trained to do the specific job they are hired for then they are useless in their position.
ReplyDeletethe most important activitie would be Selecting employees cz if there wasnt any employees you couldnt do any of the other steps in this step they have to select a number of employees they recuited to hire

ReplyDeleteTo me I think that selecting employees would be the most important part because then you choosing a few less employees that better fit the job for your business. I also think that this is important because by this point you can tell who is more likley to stand out more then the other employees you would like to hire.
I think that Training and Developing Employess is the most important. This is where the company has the goal to increase the organization's productivity by improving the performance of each employee. Not only that, but training is teaching the employee the skills needed to perform his/her specific job/role. This training could be on-the-job/hands-on training, role-play training, or even school training. Developing is a long-term process of upgrading worker's skills, so it takes time and lots of practice and experience to do the job properly and effectively. I think that Training and Developing Employess is the most important, because organizations depend on their workers to do a good job so their business is successful. This may involve their employees' quality of service, quality of the product, or job effectiveness. However, all these factors involve training to make the employees just right for the job at hand.
ReplyDeleteThe most important component of the 5 listed, would be, in my opinion, recruiting employees. Without recruitment, there would no employees at all. The other components are also very important but i feel as if you need to recruit employees before you are able to select, train, assess, or compensate them.
ReplyDeleteThe one that i think is the most important is selecting emloyees. I think that becasue you have to review the reumes and applications and so u got to see who is a good match for ur job.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion the most important task for Human Resources is Selecting Employees because, if you make the wrong decision at this stage the rest of your stages will fall apart. At this stage of HR you review the resumes, and applications and look for the best fit based on charecteristics, personality, education, skills, experience, etc. Once you find what you are looking for in an employee based on what you know, you must got through a one on one interview. From here you select the best candiate for the job. This stage helps your business be better because without good employees the business would not sell their products. After selecting you must train them, and there is no sense in training them if they dont meet your company standards. Overall i believe that selecting is the most important stage.
ReplyDeleteI think that the most important task for human resources is training and developing employees. this involves either role play, on the job, or in school training. Developing employees is the long term training of the employee where they continue to increase their productivity. I believe that this is the most important stage because this is the prime stage where the worker learns how to do their job correctly and the strive to improve their productivity. Without the proper training, an employee can not function correctly in their new environment. I think that if any person is properly trained, they have the ability to bo a great employee if they put their mind to it. If the boss notices any major problems during this training, they can help that person an extra amount or possibly get rid of them. this stage is like a child. What your parents teach you at a young age is what you remember in your future, so if we train employees greatly at the beginning of their career, they will be successful almost no matter what.
ReplyDeleteI feel that for a business to be successful they need to have a compident staff on hand. And to do this need Human Resources to help Train and Devolop the employees. Training for an employee can come in the form of having to go to school or they can be trained on the job as they work. Either way being trained ensures that the employee will thrive in the work environment and be successful at their job. If the employee is lacking HR will help them with further devolpoment and this ensurees that the business will have a successful staff.
ReplyDeleteThe most important of the five different human resources components is selecting employees. If you put up signs and online applications, people will apply for the job. Training, assessing and compensating employees are all secondary things that you do after you select qualified people for your job. When a company picks good employees, the company gives good service and more customers come as a result of that.

ReplyDeleteI think that Recruiting Employees is the most important in order for a company to be successful because if the company did not have a wide selection of people to choose from it would be harder to find what employee is the best fit for the job and who will work the hardest. If the company did not recruit a lot of employees then they would settle for selection people to be there employees who weren’t best qualified. Then through training and developing them they may find that the people who they hired are not as qualified because they had to settle for them. If they weren’t qualified for the job the people who assess them would give them bad reviews. Therefore they would not have to compensate employees because they wouldn’t be doing their job, but the company would be losing business. That is why I think recruiting employees is most important.
I think the most important task for a business to be successful is Selecting Employees. Selecting Employees is when you go through the applicants resumes and look for the best fit to the job. I think this is the most important because it involves choosing what employees will work best for your business. Choosing the wrong employees can be a bad influence on the business and cause it to be unsuccessful. It is important to make sure you have the best of the best when running your business and this is why the process of Selecting employees is the most important.
ReplyDeleteEven though each part is equally important, what i think is the most important component of the human resources would be training and developing employees. Without training, employees would not know what they are doing and many mistakes would be made. Developing employees allows employees to increase their skills on the job which can increase productivity of the business and the employee could possibly get a promotion for good work.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion Training and Developing employess is the most important. Traning and developing employees is:
ReplyDelete-increasing an organizations productivity by improving performance of employess
-teaching employess specific skills needed to perform a certain job successfully
-long term process of upgrading workers skills
I would say that this is the most important because they teach the employess skills needed to do the job successfully. If an emplyee is doing thier job well then that would bring more people to the store/ business. Having siccessful employess will result in a successful business. For example if you work at a cash register and do not know how to properly count the money and give corret change back then that would result in customers not wanting to come to your store. But if the HR staff help train the employees to properly use a cash register then customers will want to come back to your store because of the excellent service!
I think that training and developing employees is the most important becuase even though selecting and recruiting employees is pretty important as long as the training is good you can pretty much just take the number of people you need and train them to be a good employee and do their job properly. Accessing your employees is importantbut if the training is right than you should be able to trust that your employees will do the job the way they are supposed to. Compensating is very important because if you dont pay them they"ll leave but as long as you pay them a decent amount they"ll stay so training and developing is still more important.
ReplyDeleteThe task that I feel is most important in order for a business to be successful is the "Training and Developing Employees" task.
ReplyDeleteI feel that this task is most important because it is the only task that actually helps improve the performance of each employee. In this task, you also teach the employee skills needed to perform a specific job. Training and developing employees is important to a business because you can recruit, select, assess and compensate all you want while looking for new employees, but the training is what makes a worker develop and succeed in a business. This opinion can realte to any category, no matter who you hire, it is the training (learning) that makes an employee succeed no matter the age, gender, or looks. Therefore, the "Training and Developing Employees" skill is most important to me.
In my opinion, Training and Devloping employees is the most important task in order for a business to be succesful. It is the most important because in this component of the business employees are taught and trained to service the consumers, make finished goods, how to interact with consumers, and how to effectively sell their products. All these tasks taught in the Training and Developing employees section encourage consumers to go to a business where they know they would be dealing with professionals because they have been trained. Also, training allows the employee to have lots of background knowledge about the business which could be useful while servicing consumers. It is also important because all the employees in the businees ar trained to communicate, sell, produce, the product or service the same as all the other employees working at the same business which helps the consumer feel more comfortable every time they go to the same business. These are all the reasons why Training and Developing employees is the most important task of a business.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion I think that Selecting Employees is the most inmportant. Selecting Employees is where the people looking to hire someone reviews the resumes and applications of all of the people that applied for the job and they have to narrow it down to the best of all the applicants. They have to look at the persons qualifications; education, experience and characteristics. Once they have narrowed down the number of people they are looking for, they interview them asking questions about what they would do in this situation. Also they check with past employers or references to see how they liked or what this person did that was good.
ReplyDeleteI think it is the most important because you have to have the right person doing the right job and they have to be good at what they do other wise they job will not get done correctly or not at all. Also you have to a person with at least some skills in the job they are doing before you can move on and hire them. And if you do hire them and they are not qualified for the job it will cost more in training for that peson.
The component in Human Resources that I think is the most important is "Selecting Employees". This includes the employer looking over the applicants resume, looking at their skills, characteristics, expeirience, and education that help select the "best" candidate. I think that this is the most important part when hiring an employee because this is the stage right before they make the final choice to hire the applicant or not.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion Training and Developing employees is the most important. In this stage the HR staff improve the employees performance, which increases the organizations productivity. They teach the employees skills that they need in order to do the job succesfully and give them more training if they aren't being as efficient at the job as they should be. I think this is the most important activity because there is no point in having employees if they aren't doing the job the way they should be. For example, if you work at a cash register and don't know how to work it then the consumers that went to that organization wouldn'd come back due to terrible service. This makes the organization loose cutomers and their sales will go down.
ReplyDeletein my opinion selecting employees is the most important because recruiting is easy since it only takes a help wanted sign.It is the most important because you a re choosing who works for your business and if the will help your business out just make it worse in the end
ReplyDeleteI think all components of HR are important because you couldn't do one with out the other,but if I had to choose the top one, it would be selecting employees. This activity involves reviews applications and resumes and finding what qualifications of the applicant best suit the job that is being offered. The main four components that they look at are characteristics, skills, education and experience. They want to find the employee who will best fit the job. This task also involves interviewing a few selected candidates. This may involve bahavioural interviews, scenarios and performance tests. When selecting employees, qualifications are very important, so when finding the best candidate, often times they will get in touch with the references given. From all of this, they are able to select the person they see fits the position being offered. I think that selecting employees is most important because if you are careless in your choosing of employees, then things like training may be a lot more difficult then you thought. You want a candidate who will suit the job so it is important to go through this process to find who will be best at the job, and who has potential to do well in the position. If the person chosen doesn't fit the job well, and does not have the skills required, the outcome will not be a good one, and there will be a lot of disappointment in the work that they do.
ReplyDeleteThe most important component in order for a business to be succesful is selecting employees. This component is the most vital because, the business's integrity relfects on it's staff. A business must have a positive and well balanced selection of people to create a well rounded business. For example, a person who may be good at math may not be good at problem solving. Therefore, businesses need to hire a variety of people, in order to be successful at their business. Selecting employees is also vital because, it allows you to have incite from other people on that person. During the selction stage, businesses call people's references. This allows the business to figure out how the person behaves with in a working environmnet and allows the business to make the best decision possible.
ReplyDeletei would choose Recruiting Employees, becuase u want to know who ur hireing,also it lets u know there education,work experience,and other comunity involvment.the better the employee u select, the less money u have to pay to improve ur employees skills,so it is most important to select a employee becuase u want the best out there.
ReplyDeleteI think when it comes to human resources, the most important would be Training and Developing Employees. I beleive this because without the training of the specific job or duty, they tasks that are involved with the job would not be done effiently or properly. For example, you could hire a police officer with a variety of jobs in the past and excellent qualifications, but without the physical techneques, gun handeling training, etc. This person would not be able to fulfill the proper duties of a police officer.
ReplyDeleteI think that the Training/Developing is most important for a busniess to be successful. The person in charge of this wants to increase the organization's productivity by improving teh performance of each employee. By training them, they are teaching the emplyees how to do their job (e.g. on-the-job training), and by developing them they are in the long-term process of upgrading them (e.g. seminars). I think that this is the msot important part because if employees don't know how to do their job, then it doesn't matter how qualified they are, they won't be as productive as someone who knows what they are doing.
ReplyDeleteI think that Training and Developing Employees is the most vital part of making a business successful. I feel this way because if your employees don't know what they're doing or are doing the task wrong, then your product or service is bound to be unsuccessful becaause either you won't make any profit or people are going to have no interest in the product or service. Training and forming the employees to a higher standard will increase the productivity and overall profit, therefore making this the most important in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI think the most important part is selecting employeees. i think this because if you choose any people that have a history of bad behaviour, they may do something to hurt your company, and all the other components tasks will be complicated. in the selecting employees stage, you read over peoples resmumes, applications and possibly cover letters, and set up an interview. later, you will select the ones you think are qualified, and will fit the job. this will help the business because, if you have selected good employees, with a good work ethic you will likely get kind service, and reliable products. in conclusion, i think selecting employees is the most important task.
ReplyDeletethe most important would definitely be Recruiting Employees. It the act task in which employers analyz the needs of Human Resources, write a job description(which gets people to apply) and then collects resumes and applications. it the most important because without employees, your business will fail miserably. There would be no one to sell the product or help customers (customer service).You cannot fulfill all the needs of a business without the help from employees.
ReplyDeleteI think the most important of the Human Resource activities is training and developing employees. Without this step your employees won't know how to carry out their responsiblities and what is expected of them on the job. When it comes to actually working, it won't matter whether the person is highly or lowly qualified for the position if they don't have the training to show them how to do their job. Plus, during the training process, an employer can determine whether or not their trainee is going to be able to perform the tasks required of them.
ReplyDeleteI think that selecting the Employees would be the most important because then it would show you who is the best to describe for the actual job that they are appling for so that when they know who to pick for who is right for their busniess then they will have absoutley no problem of the employee messing it up in any situation. Also they would like to see the experiences, skills and knowledge that they are capable of in their resume.
ReplyDeleteI think the most important component in order for a business to be succesful would be selecting employees. The reason I think that this is the most important would be because in this stage you want to review resumes and applications. It is very important to match a job to a candidate that is qualificated. I do not think that an owner of a store want to hire a person that is rude, yells at people, even if they are very skilled and educated. Also if they are being hired at a Daycare, you want people that like children. You want the best fit for the job no matter what the training is.
ReplyDeleteYou can find the best fit when you are looking at their resume and interviewing them like you look at the characterists, Education, skills and experience.
In my opinion I think that Selecting Employees is the most important. I think that selecting employees is the most important because if you dont pick any employees you cant run you own business or anything
ReplyDeleteThe most important human resource is assessing employees. Assessment is the process of determining the performance level of your employees. Assessing your employees is the most important human resource because it produces the best product for your customers, and creates the most profit for your company. There are many ways to assess your employees, some include customer surveys, or a secret shopper.
ReplyDeleteThe most important component would be training and develpoing employees. This would be the case because even if you don't get a huge amount of people who apply to your company you can still train them to work towards your needs. It's important to have good emloyees because then customers will like going to your place and come back because of the good service. Training your employees ensures that they will be more confident on the job and will make the business look good. Checking applications and resumes doesn't ensure you that they will be good at the job but Training them does.
ReplyDeleteThe most important component in order for a business to be successful is selecting employees. Selecting employees is a key part to the development of a business. Selecting employees includes reviewing resumes and applications, interviewing a small number of candidates and checking qualifications and character. Having employees that are well rounded and are able to help run a business and make it successful reflects on how well the business will do in general. If customers like the employees they are most likely to come back to a store because they don't mind talking to them or asking them for help. With selecting employees it is key to find one that suits the job and that will know how to handle situations. Selecting employees can make or break a company.
ReplyDeletei think that training and developing employees is the most important of the 5 key HR activities because it is easy to select and find employees since almost everyone is going to need a job at some point but to train and develop them after you have found some okay employees. the employees would have to learn everything about the business to do their job and you would have to train them. after the development all you pretty much have to do is give them a steady wage and some benefits and maybe a few raises and the employees are happy and so are you.
ReplyDeleteI think that selecting the employees would be the most important because the job the employee hired for matches the personality the education experience and the skills for the position looking for the best fit candidate. When selecting employees reference checks past employers are important because you want to make sure you selected the correct person for the job.
ReplyDeleteThe most important out of the five would be selecting the employees. This is because the company wants to look for good people who will actually do their job and act like it matters to them. This is how they seperate the real workers from the people they see unfit. When looking for an employee a company will look for a person who's traits and personality match with the job they have applied for. If the person doesnt match the job then even with all the training they can get it doesnt always help the person. A company wants good workers who are capable of the job they have been given so that they reflect back on the company in a positive way.
ReplyDeleteI believe that all the components of HR are important...but if i were to choose one the most important component in order for a business to be succesful is developing employees because you could choose any one when selecting. Then during the developing stage you can train that person to perform the way you want them to. If some one comes into the compnay with a fresh brain it's easy for them to pick the skills needed for the job and to perform with their all. If during the training stage you have some employees that haven't caught on it's easier for you to teach them. So in the end you end up with employees that are succesful at thier job. :)
ReplyDeleteI think that selecting is the most important because the people your selecting are going to represent your company and your decision is going to majorly affect your company. Although you can train someone to become a good employee, it is easier to have an employee with good character traits and willing to fo the work that needs to be done. The person picking the employees has to decide what is best for the company and who's going to be the best fit.
ReplyDeletei think that the most important thing to have a sussesfull business is Training and Developing Employees. the reason why i think this is the most important is because it would help your worker learn what to do, and you business would have better service and more people will come to your business and that would make you more money..
ReplyDeleteI think the most important component of Human Reasources (HR) is training and developing employees. This increases the organizations productivity by improving the preformance of each and every employee. By training an employee you are teaching that person a specific skill for a certain job. There are three different ways an employer can preform the task of training an employee, on the job training, role play, and schooling. Developing an employee is a long term process of upgrading workers skills, such as seminars, workshops, simulators, and upgrade courses. I think this aspect of HR is the most important because it helps your workers grow and preform at a higher rate. By training and developing you create a standard for your employees.
ReplyDeleteAfter considering each of the five different components, I think training and developing employees is the most important order for a business to be a successful next to compensating employees. You need to train and develop employees so you can achieve the goal to increase the organizations productivity by improving the performance of each employee and teaching them the proper skills to perform each job. This component helps maintain the stores reputation. Recruiting employees is usually not a problem; it is as simple as putting a sign up people come to apply as soon as they notice. Selecting employees is not also a difficult task because everyone wants a job and will try to impress you as much as they can. They can be a person with an average of 60% or 90% in school. They’re both going to perform the same task. Assessing employees is fairly easy. People are able to assess employees every day, if they have improved you can easily see that and customers usually make it very clear when they feel something is not right. Compensating employees is one of the important components because you can recruit, hire and train them but you cannot keep them by force, so you must pay them. Training and developing employees another important one because you can recruit and hire people and also pay them but they are no use if they don’t do the job you need them to do.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion the most important human resource is training and developing employee. I think so because obviously if we don’t have employees, how is the business suppose to work? Also, training the employees is the most important thing. Once the employees are trained they can take care of most of the things very well. Other than this, training might give them an experience that they have not had before, or this experience might help them in the future when they are looking for another job and the same skill sets are needed. In addition to this, training helps the employee to have lots of background knowledge about the business which could be useful while servicing consumers and meeting the standard expected from the boss. The goal of training and developing employee is to increase the company’s production by improving the performance of each employee, this means that if we train the employees first, then this can result in the company’s profit or sale to go up because the customers will get impress from the service and they might want to come again and again.
ReplyDeleteAfter considering the five key HR key activities and their components, I believe that Selecting employees is the most important. This is when the applicants’ resumes and applications are reviewed and assessed based on experience, education, skills and characteristics to see if they fit the criteria of the job (match job design with candidates’ qualifications). After, the HR has to interview the potential employees to find the best fit for the job. The interview could include behavioural interviews, scenario based, or performance tests. Afterwards, they check for qualifications and character (i.e. through past employers or online presences) . I believe that this is the most important activity because you have to have employees that ‘best fit’ the job in order for the company and the training to be successful. You have to have someone that fits the job in order for them to efficiently and productively do the job after training. Also, if a mistake is made in this step, then the rest of the activities will not be very successful and that employee will not be very productive on the job. Selecting employees is very important, because if you choose the wrong employees, it takes more money to give them extra training or give them compensations and even more money to fire them. Selecting the right employees will help with more efficient production at work and will save you money.Lastly, an employee needs to have appropriote characteristics and qualifications inorder to be able to do the job and be well-suited for the job; selecting emplyees is the base/root of a succesful business
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion i think that training and developing employees is the most important because the ones you hire, you get them to gain more experience and become better at what they do. The more new things they try out and learn the more they are able to learn new skills and it will be easier to get a job once you know what you are going to be doing.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion I would haft to say that selecting employees is the most important part. I believe this because if you pick the wrong person for the job they might make predation even slower or they wouldn’t do anything. To show you how much selecting an employee is important here is an example. Sony is looking for a person to build a new video game. They want a person who has finished college, has 3 years of experience, and is good with people. If the first person that applies to the job does not fit the requirements then there will be problems for the company. No work would be done or the company would need to pay for lots of training for this one person instead of hiring a person who alright new what they were doing. Selecting employees is important because it is better to hire the person that best fits the job instead of the first person that applies to the job.
