Abstract

The model of the employee life cycle in an organization has an important position in human resource management activities. The study includes a definition of the employee life cycle with concepts that stand out from those most often described in human resource management studies. Fundamental to the research value of this study are touchpoints between the organisation and the employee that build the employee experience. Their analysis has allowed the definition and characterisation of a six-stage model of the employee life cycle in an organisation. The model prepared was related to the concept of building employee engagement. An authorial linkage was made between resource management duties and responsibilities and ways of building employee engagement. The development of the presented concept of the employee life cycle in an organisation was the construction of a best practices used in employee management processes with Key Performance Indicators. Consequently, the responsibility of the actors of the human resource management system for the right course of the employee life cycle was indicated. It was concluded that the involvement of top management, line managers and employees with the support of human resource managers results in no shortening of the employee life cycle or reduces the inappropriate phases. This is critically important from an organisational management, as it provides high employee retention and allows for accurate management of employee performance.
