Personnel management--Alberta

Increasing rates of social and technological changes, together with
economic considerations require more concern about human resources
management. This requirement arises for a) workers' concern about
skill obsolescence and b) organizations' need to improve operating
efficiency. The purposes of this study were:
1. To determine what are currently regarded as 'best practice'
applications of:
a. Job Identification Forecasts
b. Human Resources Inventories
c. Matching Jobs and Manpower
2. To ascertain to what extent these 'best practice' concepts
were actually followed in organizations operating in Alberta;
and whether or not such practices could serve as examples
for others.
The procedure involved a review of relevant literature, and primary
research involving twelve Alberta organizations.
