Human Resource Management


 What is Human Resource?





The name “Human Resource” first minted by John R. Commons, a pioneering economist, in his book "The Distribution of Wealth," which was published in 1893. So we can say, it was not until the 19th century when the duty of Human Resource has organized the company task and manage employees. Human Resource management is also known as HRM, Personnel or talent management. We all are concordant on a point that the duties of HRM are shaping in the new form.

Human resources is used to describe both the people who work for a company or organization and the department responsible for managing all matters related to employees, who collectively represent one of the most valuable resources in any businesses or organization. The term human resources was first coined in the 1960s when the value of labor relations began to garner attention and when notions such as motivation, organizational behavior, and selection assessments began to take shape in all types of work settings.

Human resource management involves overseeing all things related to managing an organization’s human capital and therefore, Human resource management is focused on a number of major areas, including:

  • Recruiting and staffing
  • Compensation and benefits
  • Training and learning
  • Labor and employee relations
  • Organization development

Just a few of the related career titles for HR professionals include:

  • Training development specialist
  • HR manager
  • Benefits specialist
  • Human resource generalist
  • Employment services manager
  • Compensation and job analysis specialist
  • Training and development manager
  • Recruiter
  • Benefits counselor
  • Personnel analyst

Key responsibilities and tasks in Human Resources

The following are some of the most common tasks for HR departments:

  • -  Address concerns expressed by the employees
  • -  Hire top talent & oversee the departure of current jobholders
  • -  Create career development programmes
  • -  Evaluate individual and overall work performance
  • -  Implement reward systems
  • -  Solve conflicts and other issues (e.g. sexual harassment, bullying)
  • -  Provide guidance and help employees identify their strengths and weaknesses
  • -  Design and evaluate strategies to increase the retention of personnel
  • -  Create a positive and enjoyable work environment
  • -  Build and maintain the company’s culture
  • -  Create and implement programmes that reflect the core values of the organisation
CONCLUSION


Now HR is not the only works as a mediator between employees and employer, they tend to work as a “toy of joy”, HRM is responsible to enrich the creativity and feeding competitive nature in employees by molding work-load into a healthy workaholic environment. Also, they encourage new ideas and spread it to the entire company module. But the story always brings climax... similar happen with the HRM, IT industry mistook the job profile of HR.

  In order to bring the new coronavirus pandemic in the country under control, the government of Sri Lanka implemented a set of control strategies including social distancing, quarantine, lockdowns, travel restrictions, and isolation of villages. The economic disruption induced by the Covid‐19 was caused by governments reacting to the health threat by locking down parts of the economy, as well as by individuals reacting cautiously to the threat by, for example, cutting back on services from restaurants, bars, cinemas, and the like. This had a number of immediate organizational design implications, caused by physical distance becoming an important contingency. Generally, employers have a duty to ensure the safety and health of their workers and others in the workplace.

Training & Development of Workforce

Image
  INTRODUCTION Employees are a company’s biggest asset, and investing in talent is vital to sustainable business growth and success. Businesses go through lengthy processes to recruit and hire qualified and suitable staff, but often the emphasis on caring about employees stops there. According to a Gallup study, workgroups that engaged in employee development saw a sales increase and profits double compared to workgroups that didn’t engage at all. Dedicated training and development fosters employee engagement, and engagement is critical to your company’s financial performance.
