One would ask the question, “What is Human Resource Management and how does it affect an organization?” According to Management Study Guide (n.d.), human resource management is the practice of managing individuals in an organization through an organized and systematic method. Human resource management affects an organization by executing the procedures and policies and warranting that the complaints of employees are taken care of. Given the different roles taken on by the human resource management, it is vital to the attainment of an organization. Today, we will be looking at three different ways in which human resource management affects an organization. One, look at how human resource management influence an organizational performance. Next, I will be sharing information on organizational culture, and then the practices of human resource management in an organization.
The human resource management has a wide variety of functions in an organization. The first function is to recruit and train new staff members. An organization needs to update its staff members after a series of time to enhance better performance. The human resource management department owns the responsibility of coming up with strategies and plans on how to recruit new staff members. They identify the best criteria to be used during recruitment and design questions to be used during interviews. Human resource management department sets up the responsibilities for individuals to be recruited. Basing on the facts, the contract is also prepared for the newly recruited staff member (Stewart, & Brown, 2012, 101).

Human Resource Management (HRM) can be described as the term that is used to define formal systems developed for the administration of people/ personnel within the organization. The major responsibilities of the Human Resource are normally divided into three major areas of management: employee compensation, staffing the employees, and defining/designing work. Fundamentally, the major purpose of Human Resource Management is to make the most of the productivity of an organization by improving the efficiency of its staffs. The Human Resource comes across numerous issues and challenges, and in order to solve those issues, the HR managers have to take specific steps. In this paper, I am describing a particular issue related to Human Resource Management, which I have witnessed and I am intended to solve through my strategic and organizational point of view (Simons, 2011).
