Q1: define human resource management?

Human Resource Management is the process of recruitment and selecting


employee, providing orientation and induction, training and development , assessment of
employee (performance of appraisal), providing compensation and benefits, motivating,
maintaining proper relations with employees and with trade unions, maintaining
employees safety, welfare and healthy measures in compliance with labour laws of the
land.
It is made up of three words:

Human: refers to the skilled workforce in the organisation.


Resource: refers to limited availability or scarceness.
Management: refers how to optimize and make best use of such
limited and a scarce resource so as to meet the ordination goals and
objectives.
Altogether, human resource management is the process of proper and maximise
utilisation of available limited skilled workforce. The core purpose of the human
resource management is to make efficient use of existing human resource in the
organisation. The Best example at present situation is, construction industry has been
facing serious shortage of skilled workforce. It is expected to triple in the next decade
from the present 30 per cent, will negatively impact the overall productivity of the sector,
warn industry experts.

Every organisations' desire is to have skilled and competent people to make their
organisation more effective than their competitors. humans are very important assets for
the organisation rather than land and buildings, without employees ( humans ) no activity
in the organisation can be done. Machines are meant to to produce more goods with
good quality but they should get operated by the human only.

Edwin Flippo defines- HRM as “planning, organizing, directing, controlling of


procurement, development, compensation, integration , maintenance and separation of
human resources to the end that individual, organizational and social objectives are
achieved.”

According to Decenzo and Robbins, “HRM is concerned with the people dimension”
in management. Since every organization is made up of people, acquiring their services,
developing their skills, motivating them to higher levels of performance and ensuring that
they continue to maintain their commitment to the organization is essential to achieve
organsational objectives. This is true, regardless of the type of organization –
government, business, education, health or social action”.

organizing, directing and controlling

Objectives of HRM
Societal objective.To be socially responsible to the needs and challenges of
society while minimizing the negative impact of such demands upon the organization.
The failure of organizations to use their resources for society's benefit may result in
restrictions. For example, societies may pass laws that limit human resource decisions.

Organizational objective. To recognize that HRM exists to contribute to


organizational effectiveness. HRM is not an end in itself; it is only a means to assist the
organization with its primary objectives. Simply stated, the department exists to serve
the rest of the organization.
Functional objective.To maintain the department's contribution at a level appropriate to
the organisation's needs. Resources are wasted when HRM is more or less
sophisticated than the organisation demands. A department's level of service must be
appropriate for the organisation it serves.

Personal objective. To assist employees in achieving their personal goals, at


least insofar as these goals enhance the individual's contribution to the organisation.
Personal objectives of employees must be met if workers are to be maintained, retained
and motivated. Otherwise, employee performance and satisfaction may decline, and
employees may leave the organisation.

Hence, it can be summed up by calling it a process of hiring and developing employees so that
they become more valuable to the organization.
