Abstract
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.
