Human Resources Management
If what is learned in an important college or university course is not put to use in some pragmatic way -- or understood in the larger social context -- then that learning may be viewed as meaningless time spent. No doubt there is a percentage of students that are simply going through the process of education, working for a degree that will open doors and lead, hopefully, to the good life. But for many others, learning -- in this case about human resources, management, employee / employer dynamics, and ethical considerations therein -- means being stimulated to grasp the links to the world that are discovered through serious attention to course work.

The salient questions to be answered in this paper are, which aspects of HRM work best together to perform the function of achieving organizational goals -- and are any more important than the others? The roles of…...

A Four Section View of Human esource Management

The Traditional vs. The New

The traditional view is personnel management which is a group within the organization that helps employees by seeing to their welfare and by seeking to help them perform on the job. Personnel management is involved in recruitment of individuals to fill staffing holes and to make sure that those employees have all the tools they need to be successful in their position within the company (Bach & Sisson, 2000, 3).

The new view that most organizations have is that they should focus more in human resources than personnel management. Human resources traditionally is a part of the organization that is more concerned with assisting behind the scenes than being involved directly with employees (Mathis & Jackson, 2007, 6). They give the employee the information that they need and no other. Of course, human resources has undergone a transformation in…...

This creates the largest challenge for a global company like WalMart which has to ensure that it keeps up with changes that are happening in different states and countries. For example the rules for employees in Massachusetts are different from those in New York. This creates challenges for the organization in trying to keep up with compliance to legal standards.
Cultural change around the world is also creating challenges for compliance to legal standards since global organizations have to keep up with cultures, some of which may just be short-lived. There is also uncertainty of the global market which makes the organizations to suffer damage from changing consumer perceptions that may or may not be related to changes in their culture Delmar & Shane, 2003.

Both the cost and the range of functions taken on by a Human esources Department are directly dependent on the size of the company. Smaller companies tend to make fewer distinctions between programs that the Human esources Department oversees while larger companies make clearer distinctions between different functions.

As to her argument that the entry qualifications are a "good first degree," it might be pointed out that what is constituted as a good first degree in these two departments differs. The question is whether her degree is more closely related to engineering or it, or neither. These differences would be considered a "material factor." A good first degree is not the only material factor that will determine the success of the case. Both jobs have other factors involved as well. For instance, skills, training, and valid experience also count for these positions. There is enough material factors to say that Pamela does nor have a case in the job evaluation claim. The mere fact that a majority of the engineering technicians are men and the it technicians are women is not a valid case, because both departments have both sexes. The argument could be made that insufficient candidates…...

The fifth area of the total reward strategy involves culture. Culture refers to the attitudes and behaviors that collectively influence how an individual behaves. Cultural change is difficult because it means of changing attitudes and fundamental beliefs of a society or organization. Culture is an element that can influence the total rewards model. The work environment is another factor of that can influence the effectiveness of the total rewards program. These factors influence the effectiveness of the total rewards model and benefit programs by influencing employee perceptions.

These five areas of the total rewards program are consistent across many companies. These five elements have become common terms in the provision of compensation and benefits packages. They are often unchanged in their order. Total rewards programs often list specific company benefits in these five…...

Disciplinary Process

Progressive discipline is a process for dealing with job-related behavior that does not meet expected and communicated performance standards. The primary purpose for progressive discipline is to assist the employee to understand that a performance problem or opportunity for improvement exists. The process features increasingly formal efforts to provide feedback to the employee so he or she can correct the problem. The goal of progressive discipline is to improve employee performance. The process of progressive discipline is not intended as a punishment for an employee, but to assist the employee to overcome performance problems and satisfy job expectations. Progressive discipline is most successful when it assists an individual to become an effectively performing member of the organization. Failing that, progressive discipline enables the organization to fairly, and with substantial documentation, terminate the employment of employees who are ineffective and unwilling to improve. Disciplinary process…...

The field of human resources management has suffered impressive changes throughout the past recent decades and more and more organizational leaders come to develop and implement complex HM strategies. But regardless of the efforts made, the field of human resource management is still changing and developing, and each economic agent has to find ways to best use it to its advantage.

Economic agents devise and implement complex strategies to motivate and retain the best staff members due to their intellectual capital and their ability to create value. The development of these strategies is based on two equally important components -- the theoretical stances and the practical observations. From a theoretical standpoint, human resource practices can be influenced at various levels. For instance, the research community might provide documented findings on the link between organizational culture and employee performances. Such a link would be manifested by the fact that a positive…...

Employment also buys employees into programs like Social Security, unemployment compensation, and workers compensation insurance. It is not uncommon to hear the compensation one receives called a 'pay package,' but at any name the bottom line idea is to attract good employees.
For the Eastman Kodak company, there is a definite trend toward the strategic rather than the traditional roles for human resources, and therefore for the employees within the company itself. Eastman Kodak used to do everything on American soil, but they are now outsourcing many more of their development, design, and manufacturing areas to offshore companies. There global human resource management strategy has therefore been expanded and is more interested now in making sure that the jobs that can be sent overseas for less money are moved away from the United States. This helps the company's bottom line, but it is not necessarily a good strategy when it…...

Human Resources Consulting
Industry History

The human resources consulting industry was not founded so much as it has emerged as a distinct industry from management consulting and as an outgrowth from organizations' own human resource companies. In the past thirty years, the industry has grown rapidly for a few different reasons. Many within the industry are former practitioners who for one reason or another began to work independently. Some were laid off from jobs, and moved into consulting, while others simply sought the independence. The trend towards outsourcing created more opportunities for HR consultants as well, because companies were eliminating parts of their in-house HR teams and replacing them. This created a rapidly growing market for consulting services. The consultants themselves were able to sell their expertise to business, including smaller and medium sized business, as people able to bring different perspectives and solutions to the workplace. This created a market where…...

It is very important for an human resources director in the modern age of human resources and internet technology to understand that while paper-based resumes and applications as well as face-to-face-only contacts are not dead and gone as a common practice, the advent and advancement of the Internet as a job seeking and hiring mechanism cannot be denied and the phenomenon is never going to go away. It will simply expand and evolve as time goes on and taking this challenge head on would and should include the proper understanding, implementation and administration of a solid HIS system such as PeopleSoft. The author of this report will offer thoughts on three major topics. Those topics, in the order in which they will be covered, will be e-recruiting, self-service technology and e-learning/training (Coronas & Oliva, 2005)(Gueutal & Stone, 2005).

Strategic human resource management refers to a specific approach that must human resource (HR) practitioners take to handling a company’s employees (human resources).  Strategic human resource management is a philosophy of management, not a defined approach, so it is possible for different HR professionals to take varied approaches and still fit under the umbrella of strategic human resource management.  In fact, it is not only possible, but probably necessary, given that HR needs do differ according to the type of profession, the working environment, the size of an organization, and the demographics of the workforce.  Generally, strategic....

POS, or point of sale, systems are critical to allowing a business to make money, since they are where a customer pays for goods or services.  If it is difficult for a customer to complete a transaction, then it does not matter how easy-to-use the rest of your website is.  This makes POS systems a critical component of any online business.
