A, C, E, B, D

Explanation:

The correct answer is option (1) : A, C, E, B, D

Placement and Orientation(A): Joining a job marks the beginning of socialisation of the employee at the workplace. The employee is given a brief presentation about the company and is introduced to his superiors, subordinates and the colleagues. He is taken around the workplace and given the charge of the job for which he has been selected. This process of familiarisation is very crucial and may have a lasting impact on his decision to stay and on his job performance. Orientation is, thus, introducing the selected employee to other employees and familiarising him with the rules and policies of the organisation

Training and Development (C): What people seek is not simply a job but a career. Every one must have the opportunity to rise to the top. The best way to provide such an opportunity is to facilitate employee learning. Organisations have either inhouse training centers or have forged alliances with training and educational institutes to ensure continuing learning of their employees.

Performance Appraisal(E) :After the employees have undergone a period of training and they have been on the job for some time, there is a need to evaluate their performance. All organisations have some formal or informal means of appraising their employee's performance. Performance appraisal means evaluating an employee's current and/or past performance as against certain predetermined standards

Promotion and career planning(B): It becomes necessary for all organisations to address career related issues and promotional avenues for their employees. Managers need to design activities to serve employees' long-term interests also. They must encourage employees to grow and realise their full potential.

Compensation(D): All organisations need to establish wage and salary plans for their employees. There are various ways to prepare different pay plans depending on the worth of the job. Basically the price of the job needs to be determined. Compensation, therefore, refers to all forms of pay or rewards going to employees.
