Stephanie Braxton is the person I interviewed. She is currently a Human Resource Manager for a company called Ocwen Financial. She has been in this position for about 3years. The purpose of this position is to maintain and enhance the organizations human resource by planning, implementing and evaluating employee relations and human resource policies, programs and practices. Some of her duties are: maintain the work structure by updating job requirements and job descriptions for all positions, maintains organization staff by establishing a recruiting, testing, and interviewing program; counseling managers on candidate selection; conducting and analyzing exit interviews; recommending changes, maintains human resource staff job results by counseling and disciplining employees; planning, monitoring, and appraising job results, maintains management guidelines by preparing, updating, and recommending human resource policies and procedures.
Some changes that she said have occurred in the organization is the way training of new employees take place. Stephanie stated that the training is now more hands on rather than just sitting in a classroom setting for the entire period of the training. There is still some classroom training, but the last few weeks is more hands on. She stated that the company is working on new ways on how to be more innovative with keeping payroll, and recruitment of new employees.
Since implementing the new training program, the company has seen a great deal of performance increase in the new employees, versus with the old program. The organization has got a lot of positive feedback from manager on how the employees are performing.
In the next five to ten years the Human resource field will be on top of the most innovate technology. Technology is taking over so who knows what type of software will be around for the use of the Human Resource.
