What is HRM all about?


Human Resource Management (HRM) is the function within an organization that focuses on recruitment of, management of, and providing direction for the people who work in the organization. HRM can also be performed by line managers. HRM is the organizational function that deals with issues related to people such as compensation, hiring, performance management, organization development, safety, wellness, benefits, employee motivation, communication, administration, and training. HRM is also a strategic and comprehensive approach to managing people and the workplace culture and environment. Effective HRM enables employees to contribute effectively and productively to the overall company direction and the accomplishment of the organization's goals and objectives. HRM is moving away from traditional personnel, administration, and transactional roles, which are increasingly outsourced. HRM is now expected to add value to the strategic utilization of employees and that employee programs impact the business in measurable ways. The new role of HRM involves strategic direction and HRM metrics and

measurements to demonstrate value.

Literature Review
In the present complex scenario of cutting edge competition in business it becomes mandatory for the firms to sustain in the economy and therefore the HR department has acquired an important role for the sustainability and the growth of the firm. Due to this cutting edge competition organizations are competing for the best talent employees and try to retain and motivate high talent employees who can survive for organizational restructuring, downsizing, reorganizing or any structural changes (Lourdes Susaeta, Jos R. Pin, January 2008). According to one statistics annual turnover rate in established organization is at 6% but replacement cost amounts to be a quarter of an individuals annual salary. According to study released by Accenture (2001) 80% of global business leader believe that people issues are more important than they were three years ago and 68% believe that retaining talent than acquiring new blood. Also workforce has change drastically since last decade in terms of age, culture, gender, ethnicity and racial composition, family structure and job expectations. It has significant impacts on the nature and operations of organizations especially in terms of HR recruitment, selection, training and development, and performance management programs. Compensation: Organizations generally provide higher packages superior to the market rate to retain the critical talent which includes special pay premiums, stock options or bonuses etc. Proper compensation to the employee retains them in the organization. Challenges to work: High talent individuals require the work that is challenging and interesting in nature and that has an impact. Work relationship: Employees require strong bondage within the team to effective work carry out. Effective relationship within the organization is one of the key factors for the organization success. Recognition: Employee stands to stay within the organization when they feel that their capabilities, performance, and efforts are recognized and appreciated by others. Compensation provides recognition but other forms of non-monetary recognition are also important.

Work-Life balance: Now-a-days most of the employees are required balance between their personal life and work. Employees prefer that type of the organizations which consider and care employees career priorities, health, location, family, dual career and other personal needs.

Communication: Effective communications strengthen the employee identification with the company and build the trust. It is about the individual in the organization which is taken care by HRM department. HRM integration has two part that is vertical fit in the organization. In the one way vertical fit HRM is aligned to business strategy only while in the case of two way vertical fit HRM is aligned with business strategy and strategy formulation. Schuler and Jackson (1987a) discuss the kind of HRM systems needed to align the human resources to three kinds of competitive strategies, namely innovation, quality enhancement and cost reduction strategy. Cost reduction strategy demands workers to work harder, innovation strategy requires workers to work differently and quality strategy needs them to work smarter. HR practices follow entirely different patterns for different strategies (Sandeep Krishnan, Manjari Singh, June 2004). The factors which affect the HRM policies that are divided in the two factors that is internal and external. External factors include economic changes, technical changes, National culture, Industry/Sector characteristics, Legislations/Regulations, Action of competitors, Action of unions, and Globalization. Internal factors include organization size and structure, business strategy, Human Resource Strategy, History, Tradition and past practices, Top Management, Line Management, Power and Politics, Academic and Professional influence on HR Practices(Pankaj Tiwari, Karunesh Saxena, January 2012). According to one statistical research it shows that there are a number of qualitative effects of the HRM on the organizations and on the employees. The first effect is the motivation. HRM plays a vital role in motivating the employees to work towards the organization as well as personal goals. Secondly, the HRM increase the co-ordination among the employees working in the organization. HRM also helps in reducing the grievances among the employees. HRM sets the quality for the organization, which helps in performance appraisal. Finally the training provides the strength to the workers as well as develops the skills of the managers so that they can participate positively in decision making (Sanjeet Singh, Gagan Deep Sharma, Amandeep kaur, May 2011). It helps in managing cross culture effects in an

organization and also in meeting the requirement of globalization.

The review of the literature on HRM practices have shown that to effectively manage the human resources the organizations have to implement innovative HRM practices. The organizations which implements such practices with dedication, remains ahead of their competitors because such practices affects other variables such as competitive advantage, job satisfaction, financial performance, employee turnover, service quality, employee commitment etc. in a positive manner and leads to overall corporate performance. While designing and implementing such practices, one important thing is to be kept in mind that the HRM practices should be analyzed from time to time and it should be updated accordingly. Line managers should be involved in designing HRM practices and survey should be conducted among employees to know their opinion about HRM practices. This will help the organization to take corrective actions at the right time (Pankaj Tiwari, Karunesh Saxena, January 2012).
