Introduction

Yes, in my opinion, can effective HRM practices support organizations to increase employee
motivation and performance. Human resource management (HRM or simply HR) is
the management of human resources. HRM is importance for an organization, an organization
cannot build a good team of working professionals without good HRM. HRM is the process
of recruitment and selecting employee, providing orientation and induction, training and
development, assessment of employee, providing compensation and benefits, motivating,
maintaining proper relations with employees and with trade unions, maintaining employees’
safety, welfare and health of employees. HRM can effectively support organizations to
increase employee motivation and performance because if an organization uses and utilizes its
human resources to achieve the greatest potential advantage, there is very little potential to
prevent an organization from achieving its goals and objectives. Furthermore, HRM may help
employees to achieve performance in the organization. The quality of employee work
performance depends on the ability, motivation and opportunity function. This means HR
managers intervene to develop employee ability, motivation and opportunity in order to
maximize work performance in the organization. Motivation refers to external and internal
factors that influence employees to perform a particular task or job well. One of the roles of
human resources managers is to maximize the level of employee motivation.
Google with the most motivated employees

When it comes to motivating employees, there is no doubt that Google stands out from the
rest. Google was named the 2014 “Best Company to Work For” by the Great Place to Work
Institute and Fortune Magazine. The organization topped the list for the fifth time. True, in its
short lifespan, Google has acquired for itself a huge and bright workforce (over 50,000
employees spread throughout the world) that serves millions of people all over the globe. In
any case, what is much more model is the way Google vigorously spoils its representatives
while as yet having the capacity to concentrate unique and remarkable thoughts and items
from them. Google’s success is underpinned on its effective motivational policy. In the past
few years, Google has been named one of the world's best employers. Google used
compensation and benefits system to motivate their employees. Google’s compensation
system has all the benefits would expect from a Fortune 500 organization such as health
insurance programs and retirement plans. Core compensation is very importance and has a
large impact on employee’s attitude and performance. Google focuses on rewarding
exceptional performance as well as training in weak areas for underperformers. Google also
uses pay-for-performance bonuses as a large part of their compensation strategy. Besides that,
Google offers benefits such as paid time off of benefit, health insurance programs that cover
employee dependents as well, offers employer sponsored retirement programs which are
401K and IRA, unlimited number of sick leave, additional life insurance benefits and tuition
reimbursement services. This type of discretionary benefit helps Google create a competitive
advantage in the market by giving perks to employees which helps attract and retain quality
employees. These all of compensation and benefits system will help motivate Google’s
employees.

The reasons include retaining well-performing employees, improving organizational
productivity and output, and improving teamwork. Other reasons include lower the operating
costs, reduced employees’ turnover and reduced absenteeism. If without a proper setup for
HRM is bound to suffer from serious problems while managing its regular activities. So, an
