Human Resources Management (HRM) is the process of hiring and developing employees so that they become more valuable to an organisation.
HRM includes conducting job analyses, planning personnel needs, recruiting the right people for the job, orienting and training, managing wages and salaries, providing benefits and incentives, evaluating performance, resolving disputes, and communicating with all employees at all levels. Examples of core qualities of HR management are extensive knowledge of the industry, leadership, and effective negotiation skills, formerly called personnel management.
Typically, HRM is the function within an organisation that focuses on recruitment of, management of, and providing direction for the people who work in the organization. HRM can also be performed by line managers. It can also be described as the organisational function that deals with issues related to people such as compensation, hiring, performance management, organisation development, safety, wellness, benefits, employee motivation, communication, administration, and training.
It is also a strategic and comprehensive approach to managing people and the workplace culture and environment. Effective HRM enables employees to contribute effectively and productively to the overall company direction and the accomplishment of the organization’s goals and objectives.
In modern time, HRM is moving away from traditional personnel, administration, and transactional roles, which are increasingly outsourced. HRM is now expected to add value to the strategic utilization of employees and that employee programmes impact the business in measurable ways, hence, the new role of HRM involves strategic direction and HRM metrics and measurements to demonstrate value.
Human Resource Management challenges
Over the last two decades, there has been an unprecedented increase in the number of organisations that have internationalised their operations. The international movement of labour that has been concomitant with such expansion of international business has meant that issues associated with the management of human resources across International borders are increasingly important to international human resource managers and academics. This poses a lot of challenges to HR managers.
The rapidly-transforming business landscape means that there are currently many human resource management challenges which will continue to evolve for years to come. Tom Marsden, Director of Professional Services at Alexander Mann Solutions says that HR departments really need to be adding real business value to their organisations.
“Although the restrictions of the recession aren’t over yet, companies are recognizing that in 2010, they will need to take steps to retain their workforce. This could be through an increased emphasis on training and engagement programs or by investing in areas that will optimize expenditure, such as integrated technology systems or improved candidate attraction schemes. The signs are that HR departments are preparing to maximize their resources and staff as organisations look to grow.”
Due to the fluctuating economy as well as local and global advancements, there are many changes occurring rapidly that affect HR in a wide range of issues. In the Survey of Global HR Challenges: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow, conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers on behalf of the World Federation of Personnel Management Associations (WFPMA), several challenges for human resource management were revealed.
This survey, which concluded that “despite national and regional differences, there was remarkable unanimity,” disclosed some of the top human resource management challenges as follows: Change management (48%), Leadership
development (35%), HR effectiveness measurement( 27%),Organisational effectiveness (25%).
But , typically, the main challenges of HR manager include adding value to an organisation both the labour force and the business itself, manage talent within your organisation – try to attract and keep talented and hard-working people in the organisation; managing globalisation, Information Technology, business control, Information-workers and info-management.
The modern business can not effectively operate in the business world if the human force is not well equipped with the latest technology and techniques. This is the responsibility of the human force manager to properly train the work force and to see the basic things the human force needs to achieve the competitive advantages of business in 21st century.
Great debates on this topic has been ongoing for several years and no doubts human is an important part of any organisation but due to rapid changes in the business world, globalization, change in customer taste and habits, new techniques of production, human in the organisation now facing different kind of problems, to cope with this situation the today’s HR manager is also facing a variety of issues and challenges on how they can best mange and solve all these issues and challenges with splendid ways.
The average HR manager is facing a variety of challenges tomeet these challenges for the future, tomorrow. HR manager or department must be much sophisticated than their predecessors. Because a one international or multinational organisation can not perform their activities well when their HR manager knows the diversity of technique to hack it with these issues and to how they can prepared a unobjectionable force for the organisation to face the rapid competitive business word and to operate in the situation.
All the organisations should prepare their human resources people well keeping in view the global environment or market place to ensure competitive advantage. Human resource manager will have to build or developed such a frame work that allows flexibility to develop such a workforce that will be the work force for tomorrow. The main aim of the paper is to ad dress the HR issues and challenges in the light of variety of literature work by different authors.
What should be the priorities for human resource in future what should be? The answer to this question is very difficult but there are many factors contributing to HR managers functions and these activities are constantly changing. By keeping in view these entire situations, the organisation HR department is continuously being change also. Some of researches have pointed out that the most of the challenges faced by the HR in 21ST century are also, retention of the employees, multicultural work force, women work force, retrenchment of the employees, change in the demand of the government, technology , globalisation, and initiating the process of change.
The world federation of personnel management association (WFPMA) survey pointed out the most important top ten HR challenges are leadership development, organizational effectiveness, change management, compensation, health and safety, staff retention, learning and development, succession planning. Staffing: recruitment and skill labour. Liz Weber has pointed out that the most important challenges of the HR in business are layoffs. The most of the owners and managers are facing this hard issue. This laid off may be due to several reasons which include the economic uncertainty, the employee’s job instability and HR less effectiveness.
In the view point of Gary Dessler, the most important challenges of HRM, are technology, e- commerce, and work force diversity, and globalisation, ethical consideration of the organisation which may directly or indirectly affect the organisation competitive advantages, especially with technological advancement the affect on recruitment, training and development and job performance with great extent can be study in organisation.
We can sum up these from the following points that the foremost challenge faced by HRM is the globalisation. Globalisation means the present flow of goods, services, capital, ideas, information and people. It means the movement of these things without using any human resource. In this modern business world, markets have become battlegrounds where both the domestic and foreign competitors try to capture as maximum market shares as possible. Such globalisation is a challenge for HRM.
However without human resource they have no value because a workforce is knowledgeable and skilled, who facilitates a company in gaining competitive advantage over others and enable a company to compete in the foreign market and to make investment in not only in a domestic market but also in foreign markets. Therefore all the HR Managers come up several strategies to develop and retain such human resource, because Human Resource is the tool which makes an organisation successful in the field of globalisation.
Today, many business leaders and executives view HR as a non-strategic cost centre instead of a core, profit-contributing function. This is especially true during the tough economic times like in the past few years which have put more organizational demand on the revenue generating business functions – and more of a focus on cost saving for the other functions. Unfortunately most organisations still view HR as a transactional cost centre which makes them to under play the function.
One of the most common complaints about HR is that many professionals lack the forward thinking, strategic advisory focus needed to be an effective business partner. They don’t spend the time to understand the business they support and focus more on transactional HR activities that don’t have the impact the business desires. HR Business Partners need to be trusted advisers to the businesses and leaders they work with. They need to be effective coaches and remain aware of their critical role as to effectively assess workforce capabilities and enable planning for fu
