...Human Resource Management Submitted by: Amandeep Kaur Contribution of Human Resource Management in achievement of organisational objectives Human Resource Management seeks to achieve - Individual, Social Organizational Goals: Organization is a social unit that is composed of number of people and function through people only. All the resources such as men, money, materials and machinery are collected, co-ordinate and fictionalized by the people. Without human efforts, no organization can achieve its goals. Therefore, this resource is called human resource, which is the most significant resource of any organization. We also consider that human resource become unending source of ability, power, skill, efficiency, knowledge, creativity for accomplishment of organizational objectives and also play crucial role in management process. These days, organizations have realized that the most valuable asset in the organization is its people. The growth of an organization depends on talent of its human assets as people act as change agents for the implementation of any initiatives in an organization.(Baptiste, 2004) Human resource management is a set of policies, practices and programs formulated to achieve both personal and organizational goals as it is the process of binding people and organizations together.

...There are many factors impacting work and learning specifically in Canada. How workers are involved or participate can affect outcomes for the employee and employer. Social and economic are two factors that influence education, learning, training and work. In this essay, I will provide examples of why social and economic context must be considered when understanding work and learning. I will also examine assumptions frequently made by Human Resources Management (HRM) and their perspective on the purpose and outcomes of learning and the critiques that challenge these perspectives. Understanding the social context for work and learning contains many variables. Life experiences, level of education, age, ethnicity and language, gender and social class are social factors to consider when understanding work and learning. As an example, “women are less likely to be offered workplace training as part of their jobs. There is an under-investment in training of female employees; factors influencing female participation include family obligations and the concentration of women in low-wage jobs that are least likely to offer training” (Pocock et al, 2011b; Roberts and Gowan, 2007; Livingstone and Sawchuk, 2004 as quoted in Canadian Labour and Business Centre, 2005, p. 11). It’s clear that gender affects how women consider work and learning and the impact on the organization’s output and profits. Canada consists of diverse cultures and ethnicities. New immigrants face language and ethnicity...

...between personnel management and human resources, the difference can be described as philosophical. Personnel management is more administrative in nature, dealing with payroll, complying with employment law, and handling related tasks. Human resources, on the other hand, is responsible for managing a workforce as one of the primary resources that contributes to the success of an organization. When a difference between personnel management and human resources is recognized, human resources is described as much broader in scope than personnel management. Human resources is said to incorporate and develop personnel management tasks, while seeking to create and develop teams of workers for the benefit of the organization. A primary goal of human resources is to enable employees to work to a maximum level of efficiency. Personnel management can include administrative tasks that are both traditional and routine. It can be described as reactive, providing a response to demands and concerns as they are presented. By contrast, human resources involves ongoing strategies to manage and develop an organization's workforce. It is proactive, as it involves the continuous development of functions and policies for the purposes of improving a company's workforce. Personnel management is often considered an independent function of an organization. Human resource management, on the other hand, tends to be an integral part of overall company function. Personnel management is typically the sole...

...HRM ASSESSMENT HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF HR Question 1 Personnel management started to manifest near the end of the 19th century, that was when welfare officers, or as they were sometimes referred to as welfare secretaries, were created. Welfare officers were mostly women, who were only concerned with the protection of women and girls, and their creation was a result of the conditions of the workplace, the stress that was being put on workers due to the expansion of the business's franchise and as their role grew the aim of moral protection for women and children was challenged by a need for higher output by the employers. Personnel management was pushed forward by WW1 due to women being recruited in high numbers to do the jobs of men that had left for war, which meant there had to be negotiations with the trade union about upping their employee levels to counter act the problem that their new hired workforce was unskilled at the job they were placed in and during that time personnel was being pushed forward by government schemes to get the most out of their employees. By 1916 it became mandatory to have a welfare officer in factories that manufactured explosives and was encouraged for munitions factories to have a welfare officer, at this time there was over 1,300 welfare officers. It was only until the WW2 that welfare and personnel workers were brought on at full-time at all locations that were manufacturing war materials because the Ministry of Labour and National...

...Human Resource Management Overview In 1833, Human Resources started out at factories where individuals were inspectors called Industrial Welfare workers. These inspectors regulated 60-hour workweeks over children and women. In this day, Human Resource Management in organizations is the process of hiring and developing employees so that individuals become more valuable to organizations. HR departments have three major areas that they cover. Transactional work such as payroll, employee benefits, insurance, and retirement plans is the first. Tactical work is HR developing solutions that benefit the employee work groups. Last Strategic work benefits the organization as a whole such as evaluating the organization where it stands, to deciding where the organization wants to be in the future, and ending with developing a plan to reach those goals. Primary Functions There are four basic functions in Human Resource Management; staffing, training and development, motivation, and maintenance. The first being staffing means hiring individuals for needed positions. There are steps to take for staffing which include strategic human resource planning, recruiting, and selection. This involves bringing new people into the business and making sure they are productive additions to the enterprise (Huntley & Kleiner 2005) For example, before I was hired there was one open position for the accounting department at my work.

...with NLZ, a medium sized factory outside Moscow, that manufactured similar equipment, but of much lower quality. This case shows the difficulties that can arise if a company does not follow the organizational structure, management systems, and the human resources policies of the company. And how changing government legislation in a rapidly changing business environment like Russia, can have serious financial impacts and decline the advantages of a joint venture. This case shows the situations and difficult problems that can arise from a joint venture between Wane Machines, Inc and NLZ the Soviet partner company. Wayne Machines started in New York City and specializes in manufacturing, installing, and maintaining large scale heating and cooling equipment. The corporation is divided into four divisions that unite 50 companies in 160 countries. After exploring markets in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union a Soviet-Belgian joint venture was formed in February 1990, called Rus Wane Equipment. Rus Wane established another joint venture with a St. Petersburg partner, to install and service its products in Russia. The market potential in the Soviet Union during the late 1980s was approximately 100,000 units annually; 60.000 provided by Soviet companies, potentially leaving 40.000 units available for Rus Wane. In October 1990, Rus Wane began construction of a plant in the Moscow area to produce heating and cooling equipment. By September 1993, the factory was producing 85 units...
