Human Resource Management (HRM) act as a catalyst for overall
development of nations economy. HRM is a way of management that links
people-related activities to the strategy of a business or organisation. HRM
is often referred to as "strategic HRM". It has several goals:
To meet the needs of the business and management (rather than just serve
the interests of employees);
To link human resource strategies / policies to the business goals and
objectives;
To find ways for human resources to "add value" to a business;
To help a business gain the commitment of employees to itsvalues, goals
and objectives.It is an approach to the management of people in
anorganization. Organizations are made up of people i. e employeesand
function through them. It is the human resource which bringssuccess and
prosperity to a business enterprise. Human ResourceManagement also
called Personnel Management, deals with various problems relating to
manpower employed. Such problems includepersonal planning, recruitment and
selection, induction,performance appraisal, employee training and
development,promotions and transfer of employees, compensation
payment,career planning and participative management. The person wholooks

after personnel functions/ problems is calledPersonnel/Human Resource
Manager. HRM is relatively a new termfor what was earlier called as personnel
management. The termHRM got popularity in the USA by 1970s. This is a
managementfunction which helps managers to plan, recruit, select, train,develop,
remunerate and maintain members for an organization.HRM is the latest
nomenclature use to denote personnelmanagement. The policies of management
relating to personnelmatters/problems are called policies.Human
ResourceManagement in a Business Context provides an international focuson
the theory and practice of people management. A thorough andcomprehensive
overview of all the key aspects of HRM, includingcase studies, articles from
HRM Guide and other sources, keyconcepts, review questions and problems for
discussion andanalysis.
An important part of HRM is the Human Resources Plan. Thepurpose of
this plan is to analyse the strategic requirements of thebusiness in terms of
manpower - and then to find a way of meeting the required demand for
labour. This is the subject of aseparate revision note.Human Resource
Management, in the sense of getting thingsdone through people. It's an
essential part of every manager'sresponsibilities, but many organizations
find it advantageous toestablish a specialist division to provide an expert
service dedicated to ensuring that the human resource function
isperformed efficiently."People are our most valuable asset" is a clich
which nomember of any senior management team would disagree with.
Yet,the reality for many organizations is that their people remain

poorly motivated, and consequently
perform well below their true capabilityThe rate of change facing
organizations has never been greaterand organizations must absorb and
manage change at a muchfaster rate than in the past. In order to implement
a successfulbusiness strategy to face this challenge, organizations, large
orsmall, must ensure that they have the right people capable of delivering the
strategy.The market place for talented, skilled people is competitive
andexpensive. Taking on new staff can be disruptive to existingemployees.
Also, it takes time to develop 'cultural awareness',product/ process/
organization knowledge and experience for newstaff members.
As organizations vary in size, aims, functions, complexity, construction,
the physical nature of the product, and appeal as employeers, so do the
contribution of human resource management. But at most the ultimate aim
of the function is to:
Ensure that at all times the business id correctly staffed by the right
number of people with the skills relevant to the businessneeds, i.e. neither
overstaffed nor understaffed In total or except of any one discipline or
work grade.

DEFINITION OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
According to Edwin Flippo:
Human resource management is the planning, organizing, directing,
controlling of the procurement, development, compensation, integration,
maintenance and separation of human resource to the end of that
individual, organizational and social objectives are accomplished.
Features of HRM (HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT)
1. Organizational management
2. Personal administration
3. Manpower management
4. Industrial management
But these traditional expressions are becoming less common forthe
theoretical discipline. Sometimes even employee andindustrialrelationsare
confusingly listed as synonyms, although thesenormally refer to the
relationship between management andworkers and the behavior of workers
in companies.The theoretical discipline is based primarily on the
assumptionthat employees are individuals with varying goals and needs,
andas such should not be thought of as basic business resources, suchas
trucks and filing cabinets. The field takes a positive view of workers,
assuming that virtually all wish to contribute to theenterprise productively,
and that the main obstacles to theirendeavors are lack of knowledge,
insufficient training, and failuresof process.HRM is seen by practitioners
PAGE 6
in the field as a more innovativeview of workplace management than the
traditional approach. Itstechniques force the managers of an enterprise to
express theirgoals with specificity so that they can be understood
andundertaken by the workforce and to provide the resources neededfor
them to successfully accomplish their assignments. As such,HRM
techniques, when properly practiced, are expressive of thegoals and
operating practices of the enterprise overall. HRM is alsoseen by many to
have a key role in risk reduction withinorganizations.
