Human Resource Management

1) Human Resource Management - is the utilization of human resources to achieve organizational objectives. I have come to recognize that this is the most fundamental and important part of HRM is to understand the function of it. The inner workings of HRM is run by the HR manager, who is an individual works with other managers to help them deal with personnel needs of the organization. The Human
Resource Manager is primarily responsible for coordinating the management to help achieve an organizations goals. They are the key to the organizations success, by hiring the right personnel for a specific job, they effect the total output and production needed to reach the goals set by the organization.

2) Human Resource Management Functions - There are six areas in which the HR manager works: human resource planning, recruitment, and selection; human resource development; compensation and benefits; safety and health; employee and labor relations; and human resource research. Human resource planning is the process of reviewing the human resource requirements to ensure that the required numbers of employees, with the required skills, are available when needed. Recruitment is the process of attracting individuals to apply for jobs with the organization. Selection is the process though which the organization chooses, from a group of applicants, those best suited for the open positions and the company. HR development helps individuals, groups, and the entire organization become more effective. Compensation and Benefits is the system that provides employees with adequate and equitable rewards for their contributions to meeting organizational goals.( pay, vacation, sick leav! e, holidays, and medical insurance) Safety involves protecting employees from injuries caused by work related accidents. Health refers to the physical and mental well being of the employee. Employee and labor relations refers to the way they negotiate with the employees, and the unions that they belong to. HR
Research is the function in which the entire organization work environment is the researcher's laboratory.
They research every aspect of the company's inner workings to make sure they are doing their best to achieve the goals set. I have seen the inner workings of this part of HRM first hand at my job. The company I work for has grown at a rapid rate within the past three years and if it were not for the HR manager and the use of these functions they would have never achieved the goals that were set when the company first opened for business.
