To conclude, one cannot deny that the process of change has come to assume a place in the day-to-day job of the manager. These sorts of change not only change the kinds of work and the organization structure, but also affect the knowledge and skills required to carry out work. Similar to this,a shift of the term form personnel management to Human Resources management reflects the need to change the traditional pattern of thought and generate a different philosophy and approach to the management of the people at work.
As already stated,the Human Resources function becomes recognized as a central business concern which emphasize customer-orientation, innovation, enterprise and competitiveness. To achieve organizational goals, people are the key to success. Organizations have to treat the employee resource as a valued asset rather than a variable cost . they have to invest in the labor resource though training and development.
Therefore, the role of the personnel function has to be changed. It should no longer be a fire-fighting function and should not confine itself to the discipline of just performing a routinized practice. the personnel work, instead, has to place more emphasis on positive function such as imaginative pay schemes, profit-sharing arrangements, and management development. All told, real human resource management is not only a change in the title or terminology but the achievement of real change in management philosophy and human resource management practice.
