Human Resource Management

            Every organization at each level needs management, be it an organization as small as a family or temple or big organizations such as schools and corporate institutions. It is important both for profit and non-profit organization. In today’s global world challenges and opportunities of businesses are enormous hence they will only be successful if they are effectively managed.  Management helps in doing and getting things done through others.

Human resource is the process that optimizes human capacity, material and financial resource of an organization for the effective achievement of goals.

Human resource management is a function in organizations designed to maximize employee performance of an organization’s strategic objectives. It is mainly concerned with the management of people within an organization, focusing on policies and systems.

The term human resource management (HRM) can be defined as the strategic and systematic approach to managing people in a way that will maximize their motivation and contribution towards meeting organizational objectives. Apart from the basic functions of HRM (planning, organizing, leading and controlling), they have some other special functions. Some of the functions are as follows;

·         Staffing( planning, recruitment & selection)

·         Compensation and benefits

·         Human resource development

·         Safety and health.

Orientation

Human resource managers are responsible for the orientation of staffs. After giving the selected candidates an offer letter and the person has accepted, you have to give that individual an orientation i.e. the way things are done around there (culture). Steps to follow;

·         History of the organization

·         Philosophy on which they are driving (values and norms)

·         Roles: The Head of department lets you know what your role is. You take it one step at a time, don’t fume and explode, and don’t expect them to hit the ground running.

·         Do’s and don’ts of the organization (rules and regulations)

·         Sign the code of conduct

Most organizations today, place great emphasis on their performance management systems as a means of generating higher levels of job performance.

However, producing performance increments may be best achieved by orienting the performance management system to promote employee engagement.

The major focus of orientation is to reduce stranger anxiety which is very negative in the workplace. No man is an island, so as a human resource manager nobody should be alienated but you should have an eye for everyone in the organization.
