...Human Resources Management analysis: Nokia Research Paper July 3, 2013 I have chosen Nokia because of its activities in the past and uncertain future so that I can analyze the company from the viewpoint of human resource management and to understand if bad management was one of the causes that led Nokia to lose its position as a global leader in the mobile phone market. After I describe the current human resource management, the employee recruitment and selection as well as the talent management I will try to make recommendations on how human resources and talents could be used more effectively based on my research. Because I never worked in a large global company as I am currently developing my own companies in the field of finance and web development I cannot bring my own experience from the past. I will conduct, however, a thorough research to justify my point of view and the proposed changes.

...INTRODUCTION Human Resource Management is defined as a strategic and coherent approach to the management of an organization’s most valued assets – the people working there who individually and collectively contribute to the achievement of its objectives. HRM is a distinctive approach to employment management which seeks to achieve competitive advantage through the strategic development of a highly committed and capable workforce using an integrated array of cultural, structural and personnel techniques (Storey, 2001). Beer et al, (1984) defined HRM as a strategic approach to the management of human resources that involves all management decisions and actions that affect the relationship between the organisation and employees. John Storey (1987) believes that HRM can be regarded as a ‘set of interrelated policies with an ideological and philosophical underpinning’. He suggests four aspects that constitute the meaningful version of HRM: 1. a particular constellation of beliefs and assumptions; 2. a strategic thrust informing decisions about people management; 3. the central involvement of line managers; 4. Reliance upon a set of ‘levers’ to shape the employment relationship. In today's litigious workplace environment, being on top of legal issues that directly affect individual employees and organization is critical to the success of the HR profession. In this study, we will critically analyze and evaluate legal issues as it affects the functions of HRM in Nigeria and...

...Organisation Background During the period of 2008 – 2013, I had the opportunity of working as a senior consultant in a local technology consulting firm in the U.A.E. For the sake of confidentiality I shall be referring to this organisation as “ABC Technologies”. Having around 40 employees, ABC Technologies was one of 13 companies under a mother group, constituting of 3300 employees and a turnover exceeding US1.5 Billion. Their consultants were assigned to projects across 7 different countries, yet the company had no offices outside the U.A.E. Being a relatively small company (in terms of head count and revenue turnover) compared to others in the group, ABC Technologies does not have a dedicated Human Resources Management (HRM) function, and was referring to the Group HRM for all employee matters, including resourcing, learning & development, performance management, and employee rewarding. Being employees in a consultant firm, majority of the consultants had needs that were different from the rest of the employees in the group. The nature of the work mandated the company not only to hire exceptional employees, but to retain them as well. The recruitment process attracted and hired very good consultants, who with time become less productive and efficient due to the way the company rewards them. Employees always complained about gaps between their needs and management offerings. They also felt that the effort they put into the job, especially with the continuous travelling...

This means when there is a decision to use a Human Resource Information System (HRIS) or change one that is in place, there are some very critical steps that have to occur. Learning Team B will briefly cover the steps in this paper. First, there needs to be a needs analysis completed. This is done to show where the current system, implemented in 1992, meets the requirements today and looking into the future. It will also drive out gaps. Areas where new functionality is needed to address an issue or need within the organization, between the individual, and the organization. In this project for Riordan Manufacturing the needs analysis clearly showed the current HRIS system does not have the technical capabilities to handle their increased number of employees, and departments within the company. Next, Learning Team B goes into the planning phase within the change process.

Key items to include are the integration points within the departments for the processes, who will access and use the system, and the types of information needed to go in the system to get the outputs the manufacturing company needs to support its human resource department.
