To enhance HR effectiveness and provide value to the organisation the CIPD Professional Map sets out to define key professional areas and behaviours that a HR professional will need to develop within a generalist or specialist role. The map underpins knowledge, skills and behaviours and is organised in a progressive framework to meet organisational demands. HR objectives and strategies focus on the internal and external context that the organisation operates within and as a result, HR practitioners require strategic insights in order to implement proactive HR strategies aligned with organisational objectives.
Like most other department managers, the primary function of a human resource manager is responsible for overseeing department functions as well as managing employees. This is why the human resource manager must be extremely familiar with every square inch of each discipline of human resource management. This includes Equal Employment Opportunities and Affirmative Action, human resource planning, recruitment, and selection, human resource development, compensation and benefits, safety and health, and employee relations. In this reflective essay I will discuss each of these disciplines and how they work together. Additionally, I will discuss which functions I believe to be the most important, and how human resource management can be optimized for shaping organizational and employee behavior.

An effective human resources (HR) strategy is the complete design, or strategic plan, that directs the engagement of specific HR functional areas. Subsequently, HR strategies will guide decisions about company personnel to make sure they are best suited for the company.

Abstract This paper examines relationships between human resource management (HRM), work climate and organizational performance in the branch network of a retail bank. It extends previous research on group-level climate-performance and HRM-performance relationships and examines how climate and HRM function as joint antecedents of business unit performance. Significant correlations are found between work climate, human resource practices, and business performance. The results show that the correlations between climate and performance cannot be
According to Bono and Judge (2003) there is no single approach to developing a human resource strategy for effective job performance. As a matter of fact, the specific approach will vary from organization to organization. Even so, the literature reviewed so far and a consideration of the organizational culture that pertains in the National Commission for Civic Education makes the model presented below an excellent approach. This conceptual model identifies six specific steps in developing an effective human resource strategy:

There are two topics I would like to place emphasis in perception. The first topic is Human Resource Management: The effective Methodology of Managing Human Capital. The second topic is The Constraint of Women in Leadership Roles. The demand of a transforming world influences roles in human resource management and women occupying leadership position. Both topics depth with challenges that produce opportunities to structure organizations future. In order to sustain the advancement of the United States economy, organizations need restructure the way its Human Resource administrate. In addition, the two topics utilize the human resource process which filter potential candidates that meet the prerequisites job analysis. If business entities are more involve within the branding process the organization will benefit as a whole. The purpose of the first literature review is to illustrate the importance of face-to-face strategies back into organizations policies which improve the quality of the recruitment, the level of training, and the marginal retention rate decreasing. However, the review will not address why corporations divert jobs international to reduce the operation and financial cost. The purpose of the second literature review demonstrate the conflict women encounter while employed in leadership position. Therefore, it will not put emphasis on the leadership style between women and men.
Conversely, the literature turns its attention to the association between human resource management and “performance often incorporating aspects of business and HR strategy” as illustrated by Guest (1999),
The efficiency of human resource management department is improved. The main factors that affect the work efficiency of human resources management department include: monthly payroll calculation and processing, staff attendance and leave processing, employee information management, etc.. These transactions tend to continue to occupy a large number of human resource management personnel. Manual operation is not only inefficient and error prone, the application of information technology in the management of human resources, will greatly reduce the routine work occupies the proportion of human resource managers to time, freed from the daily affairs of the management personnel. Information technology emphasizes employee self-service, if the employee 's personal information has changed, he himself can be through the information technology platform to update their information, after a certain approval, the program can take effect. Similarly, for the training, holiday applications, reimbursement and other day-to-day administrative affairs can also be used for similar processing. This not only reduces the workload of human resources management for data acquisition, validation and update, but also to ensure the quality of the data and data update speed. This greatly improves the work efficiency of human resources management department, and thus can have more time to think about the problem of strategic level.

It’s been found that human resource management practices which enable or motivate individual efforts may have trivial or even negative effects on collective efforts and vice versa (Zhao, 2009). The man who’s lower-level needs are satisfied is not motivated to satisfy those needs any longer. For practical purposes they exist no longer (Ott, 2008). Then how do managers motivate and, more importantly, how do managers know when to pull back from historical motivational techniques to lessen the likelihood of overusing bland techniques?
