The primary function of human resources management is to increase the effectiveness and the contribution of employees, which are in alignment with the organizations goals and objectives. With in human resources management, there are many components or pieces of the puzzle that allow human resources management to exist. Such pieces of the puzzle include, equal employment opportunity, affirmative action, human resources planning, recruitment, selection, development, compensation, benefits, safety, health and benefits. Each of which will be discussed. In human resource management,

There are certain strategies that employers use to make sure that they find the right employee such as advertising, employment agencies, web, colleges, professional employment organizations, temp agencies, unsolicited applications, and soliciting specific applicants. There is more than one way to look for employees. My friend, Jonathon Montgomery wanted to start up a small marketing business for local restaurants and sought to hire lot employees to spread the word around town. He went on craigslist to create an ad and three days later he found himself interviewing multiple groups of people to fill the role. He did not have as much trouble in the interviewing process, but he has a lot of trouble in the selection process. In the selection process, it is important to understand the strategy used to select the most qualified employee for the position. Selection the right employee is important and was really important to Jonathon. Our reading states, “ Selecting the right employee is one of the most crucial processes.” (Youssef, C. 2012) It is important, because when selecting the right employees, human resource management must take into consideration, laws of equal employment opportunity and while making sure they select the most qualified candidate to fill the role. In addition, organizations take into consideration within the selection process, employees are not only equip with the job qualifications, but they are equipped with the characteristics, such as motivation,
In analyzing the concepts discussed in Human Resource Management, I have found an interesting mix of education and forethought into the role of a human resource manager. Many of the aspect of human resource management such as HR planning, recruitment and selection, as well as, human resources development and labor relations all play a significant role in the success of any organization. There are many benefits to the learning that has taken place in this course that has helped me better understand HRM and its roll that will shape not only my position in business now but for future
As propose a multifaceted model that reclassifies the part of vital HR authority and for comprehension associations between credible HR administration and reasonable authoritative execution. that to manufacture continuing associations and persuade representatives to give prevalent client benefit and make manageable worth for their associations, we require HR pioneers who know themselves, who lead with trustworthiness and interest conformance to higher moral qualities.
Human Resource Management (HMR) is built upon many different areas. The way each organization allocates resources for each area is different. Since every organization is different and has different requirements, not every HRM process is going to be the same. The areas this paper will focused on are Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) and the Commission (EEOC) which governs the EEO regulation, human resource planning, recruitment, and selection, compensation and benefits, safety and health, employee and labor relations, and human resources development. Even though each industry and organization is
The role of the human resources (HR) department can play a significant role in the success and achievements of an organization. The department, which has evolved from the
This paper explores the hiring process, specifically the complications and success of recruiting, interviewing, hiring, and training employees. Recruiting has become relatively simple in modern times due to technology and the internet. Employers are now able to post ads for job opening online for free, which can save their company money. Advertising can vastly spread a job listing to attract many potential hires to a company. School recruitment can be convenient because it allows employers to attract the best students from all over the country to work for their companies. Each method has its own strengths and weaknesses that make them appealing depending on the needs of an employer. Interviewing can be a difficult task but if done correctly, employers can weed out those who they feel do not meet their standards and keep the best of the best. The problem with some interviews is that different methods provide different results which means that using the incorrect method may accidentally weed out a perfect candidate. Actually hiring an employee is the most important part of the process and selecting the right candidate may appear to be simple, but it can be a difficult task. More and more applicants are exaggerating their credentials to get a job which makes it difficult for hiring managers to properly
Effective Human Resources Management (HRM) plays a major role in ensuring that an organization will survive and prosper. The HRM facilitates the most effective use of people or employees to achieve organizational and individual goals. The HRM consists of numerous activities which include, equal employment opportunity (EEO) compliance, job analysis, human resource planning, the recruitment, selection, motivation, and orientation of employees, performance evaluation and compensation, the training and development of employees, labor relations, and the safety,
Human Resource management has a high impact on the overall organization being managed. HR management makes certain that human talent is used successfully and resourcefully to accomplish organizational goals. As an organization core competency, human resources has distinctive competencies that generates high value and sets apart an organization from competitors in areas such as productivity, quality and service, employee skills, and innovative changes. HR management activities can be grouped into categories which include strategic HR management; equal employment opportunity; staffing and talent management; compensation and benefits; and employee and industry relations. This paper will
The objective of the Human Resource Department is to design management systems to ensure human talent is maximized to effectively and efficiently achieve organizational goals. HR has seven functions that are intertwined. These functions are global, environmental, cultural geographic, political, social, legal, economic, and technological. Human resource management has the potential to drastically impact the success and effectiveness of an organization. Human Resources has heavily focused on recordkeeping and paperwork. It has often been considered a clerical and low-level administrative department. In most organizations, Human Resources is looked upon as the employee mediator in the organization. They tend to be the voice of the employee, building company morale and putting out fires involving crisis management. The problems they deal with are both employee work-related and not work-related. HR strives to ensure fair treatment for all employees. They work with varying departments throughout the organization in order to create and implement necessary programs and policies. HR works with equal employment opportunity and other laws, to ensure compliance. They work to fill current job openings by processing applications, interviewing, and training. They answer questions regarding benefits and wages and address safety issues. The expansion of technology and outsourcing have drastically transformed the
Human resource management is one of the multi-faceted functions which enable a given organization to keep running in a controlled and well-planned manner. The primary definition of human resource management refers to the "process of managing people in organizations in a structured and thorough manner. This covers the fields of staffing (hiring people), retention of people, pay and perks setting and management, performance management, change management and taking care of exits from the company to round off the activities" (managementstudyguide, 2012). A secondary definition of HRM Management involves balancing people and arranging one's workforce from a macro point of view (managementstudyguide, 2012). From this perspective human resources management concerns itself with enabling its employees, developing their skills and objectives and furthering the strength of the rapport between the supervisory staff and team members (managementstudyguide, 2012). Given this dual function and the split focus of human resources management, designating the competencies that a HR practitioner should possess is extremely important.
On the first day of my class,I did not have proper undertanding of what human resource management means.I entered the class with a view that it is going to be just a normal introduction and course outline would be discussed in the class.According to my understanding human resources dealt with just recruiting people,but to my surpise there is much more to it than recruiting.Debra asked us to talk to the person sitting next to you and introduce each other and once done,pair up with the other team of two people and share your experiences,interests,background information.It was pretty much fun talking to unknown people from different countries and getting to know their good and bad experiences.after the introduction,course outline was reviewed and we got to know about about the journal and debate that we will have top present later in the future.Debra gave a little introduction about herself followed by her work experiences in the different fields.It was great knowing her and I was honestly amazed to know her varied expereince in different fields and how well she has managed everything.We started our course with introduction to strategic role of HRM(chapter 1).
Human Resource Management (HRM) has evolved from many terms and functions in the last century such as finance, accounting, marketing; the personnel were responsible for hiring and firing, compensation, payroll, and benefits. HRM was known to handle routine employment obligations. Previously, the administrative human resource focused primary on clerical administration aspect of a business such as processing information, recordkeeping which included essential legal paperwork and policy implementation. (Mathis, Jackson, and Valentine, 2014, p. 15). Human resource administered performance appraisal of employees’ past performance to determine pay and promotion. Other functions of human resource were to persuade employees of the organization’s interest as well as to persuade management of employees’ interest and obligations.
Human resource management (HRM) is a designed function to maximize the performance of employees in an organization in service to the organizational objectives. The human resource unit is usually responsible for activities such as recruitment of employees, training, rewarding and also performance management. The department is also accountable for guaranteeing that the activities undertaken by the organization are in line with the standards, regulations and laws set by the government (Mathis & Jackson, 2012). When recruiting new staff into the organization, the HRM department requires several strategic points in order to recruit staffs that have the skills and specification that will help attain the set staffing goals. Some of these factors include quality of the required workforce, cost of unfilled jobs, availability of labor, highly skilled applicants who are attracted by proper advertisement of the job opportunities, employment ‘branding’ and image, and practicing internal recruiting.
Human resource is defined as the people who constitute an organization’s workforce (employees). Human Resource Management is defined as a function in the organization that is designed to facilitate the maximum performance of the employees. This is achieved through various activities included in the function. These activities include employee recruitment, training and development, managing their performance, and rewarding. The human resource department is also responsible for ensuring that all the activities in which the organization engages in are in accordance with the law. The employees are one of the critical necessities required for the smooth running of operations and achievement of strategic objectives. The HR department ensures that
Human Resource Management is the management of an organization’s employees. When a company designates a Human Resource (HR) department, those in HR are the ones responsible for overseeing the well-being of personnel in the workplace, and focus on how to attract, hire, train, motivate, and maintain employees of the organization. (DeCenzo, Robbins, & Verhulst, 2013, p4). According to David S. Bright from the Raj Soin College of Business at Wright State University, “HR activities include recruitment, selection, training and development, compensation, benefits, performance appraisal, employee relations, health and safety, and strategic HR planning.”
“What is management of human resource?” “Why is human resource management important for developing of organization?”. Answer is organizations cannot develop a good team of working professionals without good human resource in the 21st century. Human resource management is a function in organizations outlined to maximize employee performance in service of an employer 's strategic objectives and human resource management affects with the management of people within organizations, concentrating on policies and on systems. The key functions involve employee training, performance appraisal, and compensation. In other words, human resource management is fundamental organizations concepts. I will explain about human resource training, performance management, and compensation in ensuring the success of training using example of Mongolian public organization.
