The HR Lifecycle
This refers to the complete journey of an employee in a company — from planning to exit. HR (Human Resources) manages each stage.
- Workforce Planning : Planning how many employees are needed, in which departments, and with what skills.
- Recruitment : Finding the right candidates, conducting interviews, and hiring the best fit.
- Onboarding : Welcoming new employees, introducing them to the company, team, tools, and processes.
- Training & Development : Helping employees learn new skills and grow in their roles through training programs.
- Performance Management : Regularly reviewing how well an employee is doing their job and giving feedback.
- Career Growth / Promotion : Offering promotions, new responsibilities, or learning paths based on performance.
- Exit / Offboarding : Managing the process when an employee leaves — paperwork, handover, feedback, etc.
