It is responsible for the attraction, selection, training, assessment, and rewarding of employees, while also overseeing organizational leadership and culture, and ensuring compliance with employment and labor laws. In circumstances where employees desire and are legally authorized to hold a collective bargaining agreement, H will typically also serve as the company's primary liaison with the employees' representatives (usually a labor union). H is a product of the human relations movement of the early !"th century, when researchers began documenting ways of creating business value through the strategic management of the workforce. #he function was initially dominated by transactional work such as payroll and benefits administration, but due to globalization, company consolidation, technological advancement, and further research, H now focuses on strategic initiatives like mergers and ac$uisitions, talent management, succession planning, industrial and labor relations, and diversity and inclusion. In startup companies, H 's duties may be performed by a handful of trained professionals or even by non%H personnel. In larger companies, an entire functional group is typically dedicated to the discipline, with staff specializing in various H tasks and functional leadership engaging in strategic decision making across the business. #o train practitioners for the profession, institutions of higher education, professional associations, and companies themselves have created programs of study dedicated e&plicitly to the duties of the function. 'cademic and practitioner organizations likewise seek to engage and further the field of H , as evidenced by several field%specific publications. In practice, H is responsible for employee e&perience during the employment lifecycle. It is first charged with attracting the right employees through employer branding. It then must select the right employees through the recruitment process. H then onboard new hire and oversees their training and development during their tenure with the organization. H assesses talent through use of performance appraisals and then rewards them accordingly. In fulfillment of the latter, H may sometimes administer payroll and employee benefits, although such activities are more and more being outsourced, with H playing a more strategic role. (inally, H is involved in employee terminations

% including resignations, performance%related dismissals, and redundancies. 't the macro%level, H is in charge of overseeing organizational leadership and culture. H also ensures compliance with employment and labor laws, which differ by geography, and often oversees health, safety, and security. In circumstances where employees desire and are legally authorized to hold a collective bargaining agreement, H will typically also serve as the company's primary liaison with the employee's representatives (usually a labor union). )onse$uently, H , usually through industry representatives, engages in lobbying efforts with governmental agencies (e.g., in the *nited +tates, the *nited +tates ,epartment of -abor and the .ational -abor elations /oard) to further its priorities. #he discipline may also engage in mobility management, especially pertaining to e&patriates0 and it is fre$uently involved in the merger and ac$uisition process.

2.1.1 Human Resource Management #he process of defining H 1 leads us to two different definitions. +he first definition of HRM is that it is the process of managing people in organi,ations in a structured and thorough manner. #his covers the fields of staffing (hiring people), retention of people, pay and perks setting and management, performance management, change management and taking care of e&its from the company to round off the activities. #his is the traditional definition of H 1 which leads some e&perts to define it as a modern version of the 2ersonnel 1anagement function that was used earlier. +he second definition of HRM encompasses the management of people in organi,ations from a macro perspecti%e i.e. managing people in the form of a collective relationship between management and employees. #his approach focuses on the ob3ectives and outcomes of the H 1 function. ;hat this means is that the H function in contemporary organizations is concerned with the notions of people enabling, people development and a focus on making the @employment relationshipA fulfilling for both the management and employees. 2.1.2. -mportance of HRM 5. .ormulation of HR polices% #o confirm the highest use of the workforce resource of the organization, it is very important to formulate the H polices of the company, which has been performed by the H 1 ,ept. !. -mplementation of HR policies% H 1 also responsible for follow upping, whether the polices are implemented entirely or not. 6.

Scope of Human Resource Management Human resources are undoubtedly the key resources in an organization, the easiest and the most difficult to manageB #he ob3ectives of the H 1 span right from the manpower needs assessment to management and retention of the same. #o this effect Human resource management is responsible for effective designing and implementation of various policies, procedures and programs. It is all about developing and managing knowledge, skills, creativity, aptitude and talent and using them optimally. It also focuses on managing physical and emotional capital of employees. )onsidering the intricacies involved, the scope of H 1 is widening with every passing day. It covers but is not limited to H planning, hiring (recruitment and selection), training and development, payroll management, rewards and recognitions, Industrial relations, grievance handling, legal procedures etc. It?s about developing and managing harmonious relationships at workplace and striking a balance between organizational goals and individual goals. #he scope of H 1 is e&tensive and far%reaching. #herefore, it is very difficult to define it concisely. However, I try to classify the same under following heads< HRM in Personnel Management' #his is typically direct manpower management that involves manpower planning, hiring (recruitment and selection), training and development, induction and orientation,

transfer, promotion, compensation, layoff and retrenchment, employee productivity.

HRM in 2mployee 3elfare' #his particular aspect of H 1 deals with working conditions and amenities at workplace. #his includes a wide array of responsibilities and services such as safety services, health services, welfare funds, social security and medical services. It also covers appointment of safety officers, making the environment worth working, eliminating workplace hazards, support by top management, 3ob safety, safeguarding machinery, cleanliness, proper ventilation and lighting, sanitation, medical care, sickness benefits, employment in3ury benefits, personal in3ury benefits, maternity benefits, unemployment benefits and family benefits. HRM in -ndustrial Relations' +ince it is a highly sensitive area, it needs careful interactions with labor or employee unions, addressing their grievances and settling the disputes effectively in order to maintain peace and harmony in the organization. It is the art and science of understanding the employment (union%management) relations, 3oint consultation, disciplinary procedures, solving problems with mutual efforts, understanding human behavior and maintaining work relations, collective bargaining and settlement of disputes. #he main aim is to safeguarding the interest of employees by securing the highest level of understanding to the e&tent that does not leave a negative impact on organization. It is about establishing, growing and promoting industrial democracy to safeguard the interests of both employees and management. 2.2 Processes in Human Resource Management' Cach organization works towards the realization of one vision. #he same is achieved by formulation of certain strategies and e&ecution of the same, which is done by the H department.

.owadays there is an automated performance management system (21+) that carries all the information to help managers evaluate the performance of the employees and assess them accordingly on their training and development needs. 2.2.! 2mployee Relations' Cmployee retention is a nuisance with organizations especially in industries that are hugely competitive in nature. #hough there are myriad factors that motivate an individual to stick to or leave an organization, but certainly few are under our control. Cmployee relations include -abor -aw and elations, ;orking Cnvironment, Cmployee heath and safety, Cmployee% Cmployee conflict management, Cmployee% Cmployee )onflict 1anagement, Fuality of ;ork -ife, ;orkers )ompensation, Cmployee ;ellness and assistance programs, )ounseling for occupational stress. 'll these are critical to employee retention apart from the money which is only a hygiene factor. 'll processes are integral to the survival and success of H strategies and no single process can work in isolation0 there has to be a high level of conformity and cohesiveness between the same. 2.! 4o# Analysis 5 A Basic /nderstanding Eob 'nalysis is a systematic e&ploration, study and recording the responsibilities, duties, skills, accountabilities, work environment and ability re$uirements of a specific 3ob. It also involves determining the relative importance of the duties, responsibilities and physical and emotional skills for a given 3ob.

the employee. Eob analysis also helps H managers in deciding the compensation package and additional perks and incentives for a particular 3ob position. It effectively contributes in assessing the training needs and performance of the e&isting employees. #he process forms the basis to design and establish the strategies and policies to fulfill organizational goals and ob3ectives. 2.& Moti%ation 1otivation is the word derived from the word ?motive? which means needs, desires, wants or drives within the individuals. It is the process of stimulating people to actions to accomplish the goals.

Performance Management as a HR Management concept' 2erformance management is the process of reviewing an employee?s performance during the preceding year or cycle and deciding where he or she stands as far as their peers in the same band are concerned. #he process of reviewing results, arriving at a rating and then deciding upon the bonus or salary hike is what performance management is all about. #here are different rounds to the performance appraisal process.
www.AssignmentPoint.com
5. In the first round, the people who participate in an employee?s appraisal are the employee and his or her manager. In this round, the manager gives a frank assessment of the employee?s performance after giving a chance to the employee to self%assess. !. #he second round consists of the manager and the manager?s manager. #his round is mostly about deciding the band in which the employee falls post the rating and in comparison with his or her peers. #his process of rationalizing the employee?s performance with others is called @normalizationA. In some organizations, this takes place in the third round where the H manager is involved as well. In any case, the ratings cannot be decided without the H manager?s assent to the same. >nce these rounds are over, the bonus level or the salary hike are decided. 2.0 ompensation Management' @If you pick the right people and give them the opportunity to spread their wings % and put compensation and rewards as a carrier behind it % you almost don?t have to manage them.A G Jack Welch 1ost of us would have heard the term @compensationA in the conte&t of getting paid for the work that we do. (rom the perspective of the employers, the money that they pay to the employees in return for the work that they do is something that they need to plan for in an elaborate and systematic manner. It can be said that compensation is the @glueA that binds the employee and the employer together and in the organized sector, this is further codified in the form of a contract or a mutually binding legal document that spells out e&actly how much should be paid to the employee and the components of the compensation package. 2.0.1+ypes of ompensation #here are several ways to classy compensation. ;e have selected three of the most typical dichotomies< '.
