Human Resource Management

 

             In order to stay ahead of the game, one must know how to be effective in human resource management. Human resource management is defined as "the utilization of individuals to achieve organizational objectives." (Mondy, 2) The following pages will explain the importance of human resources by focusing on the 5 aspects of the framework for the human resource management system. Also discussed will by the external factors that affect the human resource branch of business.
             One of the most important functions in the human resource management system is staffing. An organization must always have the proper number of employees with the appropriate skills to do a certain job at a certain time. This is where staffing comes into play. Job analysis, planning, recruitment, and selection are all important features that must be met for companies to ensure that their firms are always productive.
             Every position in a company should be analyzed and its skills posted. Anyone wanting to apply for a job should know up front what skills and duties he or she are responsible for. Without this knowledge, the company will not be productive due to the fact that the person hired would not have a specific job description or duties. This would contribute to a loss in valuable production time.
             A company must also always know that they have the required number of employees with the proper skills on hand when needed. To ensure the company does indeed have an adequate number of employees needed, the firm must systematically review human resource requirement. Failure to do so may result in a shortage of employees with the proper skills needed in a pinch.
             Firms must know how to recruit the appropriate individuals with the required skills needed for their business. Organizations that do not go out and recruit individuals risk settling for an employee whose skills and training may not be of the magnitude needed by the company.
