NURSEDOCS I. What Is Human Resource Management? — The management process involves the following functions: planning, organizing, staffing, leading, and controlling. The ―people‖ or personnel aspects of management jobs involve conducting job analyses; planning labor needs and recruiting job candidates; selecting job cand idates; orienting and training new employees; managing wages and salaries; providing incentives and benefits; appraising performance; communicating; training employees and developing managers; building employee commitment; being knowledgeable about equal opportunity, affirmative action, employee health and safety, and handling grievances and labor relations. A. Why Is HR Management Important to All Managers? — Managers don‘t want to make mistakes while managing, such as hiring the wrong person, having their c ompany taken to court because of discriminatory actions, or committing unfair labor practices. As a manager anywhere in the organization, you will want to improve performance . You may spend time as an HR manager or become an entrepreneur and require basic and some advanced knowledge and skills in HR. B. Line and Staff Aspects of HRM — Although most firms have a human resource department with its own manager, all managers tend to get involved in activities like recruiting, interviewing, selecting, and training. C. Line Versus Staff Authority — Authority is the right to make decisions, to direct the work of others, and to give orders. Line managers are authorized to direct the work of subordinates. Their subordinates are generally involved in work that dir ectly produces or sells the company ‘s product or service, such as sales or m anufacturing. Staff managers are authorized to assist and advise line managers in accomplishing their basic goals. The subordinates of staff managers are generally involved in work that supports the products or services, in departments such as Purchasing or Quality Control. HR managers are generally staff managers. D. Line Manager‘s Human Resource Responsibilities — All supervisors are responsible for aspects of HR/personnel tasks such as placement, training, and development of employees. E. The Human Resource Department — The HR department provides specialized assistance such as acting as a recruiter, EEO representative, job analyst, compensation manager, training specialist, or labor relations specialist. 1. Many employers are revamping how they organize their human resou rce functions to include ―shared services‖ or ―distributed‖ HR. Others may use corporate or embedded teams. II. The Trends Shaping Human Resource Management — Trends in the environment are changing how employers get their human resource management task s done. A. Workforce Demographics and Diversity Trends — The labor force is getting older and more multi -ethnic. The aging labor force presents significant changes in terms of potential labor shortages, and many firms are instituting new policies aimed at encouraging aging employees to stay, or at attracting previously retired employees . High rates of immigration also present challenges and opportunities for HR managers. With projected workforce NURSEDOCSThe benefits of buying summaries with Stuvia:
