The Employee Lifecycle
★ The employee lifecycle is simply a model or framework that can be used to
visualise how an employee engages with the organisation they are working
for, and the related HR management activities. As you can see in the diagram
the model has six stages:
○ Attraction
○ Recruitment
○ Onboarding
○ Development
○ Retention
○ Seperation
★ The attraction stage starts even before the employee has joined the
company. It refers to the way in which organisations promote and
communicate their image as a great place to work to prospective employees
and stakeholders. This is known as Employer Branding
★ The recruitment stage covers the sourcing and selection of employees.
You were introduced to a range of different recruitment and selection methods
in Managing Human Resources. We will take a more in-depth look at how to
choose and apply these, depending on the nature of the skills or roles you
need
★ The onboarding stage is also known as induction. We will touch on the
importance of building an early relationship with employees to help them
adjust to the organisational environment and become productive and settled
as early as possible
★ The development stage of the model focuses on learning and
development. We will begin by considering how employee development

supports the organisation’s talent management strategy. As well as exploring
learning theories and training design, we will evaluate different management
development approaches and organisational level learning
★ The retention stage of the employee lifecycle actually applies throughout the
employment relationship. Relevant HR activities include reward and
recognition strategies. We will look at how to design financial and non-
financial rewards to achieve specific objectives. This stage also covers
performance management, including performance appraisal and absence
management
★ Finally, the separation stage looks at the ways in which the contract comes to
an end- whether for voluntary reasons, or as a result of dismissal, including
redundancy. We will look in depth at good practice as well as legal issues in
managing these areas. We will also look at avoiding separation by resolving
employment issues and conflict, either informally or vis formal grievance
procedure
★ None of these activities happens in a vacuum. To be effective, all these HR
management and development activities need to align with an overall
resourcing and talent management strategy
