From Personnel to Human Resources

Managing a workforce successfully can often mean the difference between running a successful business and running an unsuccessful business. Thus human resources management becomes an initial deciding factor in the strategic approaches to how business is conducted.

Human resources management refers to the sector of an organisation that is responsible for hiring, training and sometimes firing staff members. Much is written these days about locating, hiring and maintaining talented individuals but there are also other key factors within human resources management. These often involve maintaining good employer/employee relations, keeping proper employment records, being scrupulously fair with benefits and compensation, maintaining a strong focus on career development, competency mapping and regular appraisals; and if necessary, when trading slumps, managing redundancies fairly but also retaining enough talented staff to allow for recovery and growth.

Social commentators often quibble over the term ‘human resources’, where employees should not be regarded as commodities, but human beings as part of the production process and human resources management has to walk this fine line with union representation focusing on the role of the individual rather than the ‘resource’. Increasingly however, corporate management is being encouraged to personalise rather than depersonalise its workforces where in its simplest terms hiring and firing is considered outmoded. However organisations are still left with the need to plan for their futures and retain employees that are contingent to their future needs.
