Question 1: Management Function and what it entails in HRD
Planning
Entails: Defining goals, establishing strategies, and developing plans to coordinate
activities (Erasmus, Loedolff, Mda & Nel, 2019).
Practice: HRD managers at People’s Bank set goals for the management development
program and plan its curriculum, schedule, and participant selection process.
Example: Lerato mentions the focus on career and talent management early in
employees' careers, which involves strategic planning to create a management
development program aimed at fostering future leaders.
Organizing
According to Dessler (2020) this entails determining tasks, grouping tasks into
departments, and allocating resources.
Practice: HRD managers organize resources and personnel to deliver training
programs effectively.
Example: The management development program is structured to include both
manager-nominated and self-nominated participants, requiring organization of
resources and coordination among different departments.
Leading
Entails: Motivating employees, directing their activities, selecting effective
communication channels, and resolving conflicts.
Practice: HRD managers lead by inspiring employees to participate in development
programs and encouraging diversity and inclusion within the workforce.
Example: Lerato’s emphasis on threading diversity through talent decisions reflects
the leadership role HRD managers play in promoting an inclusive culture.
