8/3/2019 Human Resources is a Term Used to Describe the Individuals Who Make Up the Workforce of an Organization
1/6
Human resources is a term used to describe the individuals who make up the workforce of an
organization, although it is also applied in labor economics to, for example, business sectors oreven whole nations. Human resources is also the name of the function within an organization
charged with the overall responsibility for implementing strategies and policies relating to the
management of individuals (i.e. the human resources). This function title is often abbreviated to
the initials "HR".
Human resources is a relatively modern management term, coined as late as the 1960s. [1]
Theorigins of the function arose in organizations that introduced 'welfare management' practices and
also in those that adopted the principles of 'scientific management'. From these terms emerged a
largely administrative management activity, coordinating a range of worker related processes andbecoming known, in time, as the 'personnel function'. Human resources progressively became the
more usual name for this function, in the first instance in the United States as well as
multinational or international corporations, reflecting the adoption of a more quantitative as well
as strategic approach to workforce management, demanded by corporate management to gain acompetitive advantage, utilizing limited skilled and highly skilled workers.

[edit] Purpose and role
In simple terms, an organization's human resource management strategy should maximize returnon investment in the organization's human capital and minimize financial risk.
Human resource managers seek to achieve this by aligning the supply of skilled and qualified
individuals and the capabilities of the current workforce, with the organization's ongoing and
future business plans and requirements to maximize return on investment and secure futuresurvival and success.

In ensuring such objectives are achieved, the human resource function is to implement an
organization's human resource requirements effectively, taking into account federal, state andlocal labor laws and regulations; ethical business practices; and net cost, in a manner that
maximizes, as far as possible, employee motivation, commitment and productivity.
[edit] Key functions
Human Resources may set strategies and develop policies, standards, systems, and processes thatimplement these strategies in a whole range of areas. The following are typical of a wide range
of organizations:
Maintaining awareness of and compliance with local, state and federal labor laws Recruitment, selection, and on boarding (resourcing) Employee record-keeping and confidentiality Organizational design and development Business transformationand change management Performance, conduct and behavior management Industrial and employee relations Human resources (workforce) analysis and workforce personnel data management Compensation andemployee benefitmanagement Training and development(learning management) Employee motivation and morale-building (employee retention and loyalty)Implementation of such policies, processes or standards may be directly managed by the HRfunction itself, or the function may indirectly supervise the implementation of such activities by
managers, other business functions or via third-party external partner organizations. Applicable
legal issues, such as the potential fordisparate treatmentanddisparate impact, are also extremely
important to HR managers.

In organizations, it is important to determine both current and future organizational requirementsfor both core employees and the contingent workforce in terms of their skills/technical abilities,
competencies, flexibility etc. The analysis requires consideration of the internal and externalfactors that can have an effect on theresourcing, development, motivation and retention ofemployees and other workers.
External factors are those largely outside the control of the organization. These include issuessuch as economic climate and current and future labor market trends (e.g., skills, education level,
government investment into industries etc.). On the other hand, internal influences are broadly
controlled by the organization to predict, determine, and monitorfor examplethe

organizational culture, underpinned by management style, environmental climate, and the
approach to ethical andcorporate social responsibilities.
[edit] Major trends
To know the business environment an organization operates in, three major trends must beconsidered:
1. Demographics: the characteristics of a population/workforce, for example, age, gender orsocial class. This type of trend may have an effect in relation to pension offerings,
insurance packages etc.2. Diversity: the variation within the population/workplace. Changes in society now mean
that a larger proportion of organizations are made up of"baby-boomers" or older
employees in comparison to thirty years ago. Advocates of "workplace diversity"
advocate an employee base that is a mirror reflection of the make-up of society insofar asrace, gender, sexual orientation etc.
3. Skills and qualifications: as industries move from manual to more managerial professionsso does the need for more highly skilled graduates. If the market is "tight" (i.e. notenough staff for the jobs), employers must compete for employees by offering financialrewards, community investment, etc.
[edit] Individual responses
In regard to how individuals respond to the changes in a labor market, the following must be
understood:
Geographical spread: how far is the job from the individual? The distance to travel to workshould be in line with the pay offered, and the transportation and infrastructure of the areaalso influence who applies for a post.
Occupational structure: the norms and values of the different careers within an organization.Mahoney 1989 developed 3 different types of occupational structure, namely, craft (loyaltyto the profession), organization career (promotion through the firm) and unstructured(lower/unskilled workers who work when needed).
Generational difference: different age categories of employees have certain characteristics,for example, their behavior and their expectations of the organization.
[edit] Framework
Human Resources Development is a framework for the expansion of human capital within anorganization or (in new approaches) a municipality, region, or nation. Human Resources
Development is a combination of training and education, in a broad context of adequate health
and employment policies, that ensures the continual improvement and growth of both theindividual, the organization, and the national human resourcefulness. Adam Smith states, Thecapacities of individuals depended on their access to education.
[2]Human Resources
Development is the medium that drives the process between training and learning in a broadlyfostering environment. Human Resources Development is not a defined object, but a series of

organised processes, with a specific learning objective (Nadler,1984)[3]
Within a national
context, it becomes a strategic approach to inter sectoral linkages between health, education andemployment.[4]
[edit] Structure
Human resources development is the structure that allows for individual development,
potentially satisfying the organization's, or the nation's goals. Development of the individualbenefits the individual, the organization - and the nation and its citizens. In the corporate vision,
the Human Resources Development framework views employees as an asset to the enterprise,
whose value is enhanced by development, "Its primary focus is on growth and employee
developmentit emphasizes developing individual potential and skills" (Elwood, Olton andTrott 1996)[5]Human Resources Development in this treatment can be in-room group training,
tertiary or vocational courses or mentoring and coaching by senior employees with the aim for a
desired outcome that develops the individual's performance. At the level of a national strategy, it
can be a broad inter-sectoral approach to fostering creative contributions to national
productivity.[6]
[edit] Training and development
At the organizational level, a successful Human Resources Development program prepares the
individual to undertake a higher level of work, "organized learning over a given period of time,to provide the possibility of performance change" (Nadler 1984). In these settings, Human
Resources Development is the framework that focuses on the organization's competencies at the
first stage, training, and then developing the employee, through education, to satisfy the
organization's long-term needs and the individual's career goals and employee value to theirpresent and future employers. Human Resources Development can be defined simply as
developing the most important section of any business, its human resource, by attaining orupgrading employee skills and attitudes at all levels to maximize enterprise effectiveness.
[2]The
people within an organization are its human resource. Human Resources Development from a
business perspective is not entirely focused on the individual's growth and development;
"development occurs to enhance the organization's value, not solely for individual improvement.
Individual education and development is a tool and a means to an end, not the end goal itself"(Elwood F. Holton II, James W. Trott Jr).[5]The broader concept of national and more strategic
attention to the development of human resources is beginning to emerge as newly independent
countries face strong competition for their skilled professionals and the accompanying brain-drain they experience.
[edit] Recruitment and selection
Applicant recruitment and employee selection form a major part of an organization's overall
resourcing strategies, which identify and secure people needed for the organization to survive
and succeed in the short- to medium-term. Recruitment activities need to be responsive to theincreasingly competitive market to secure suitably qualified and capable recruits at all levels. To
be effective, these initiatives need to include how and when to source the best recruits, internally
or externally. Common to the success of either are: well-defined organizational structures with

employment relationsandhuman resource policies, underpinned by a commitment for strongemployer brandingandemployee engagementandon-boardingstrategies.
Internal recruitment can provide the most cost-effective source for recruits if the potential of the
existing pool of employees has been enhanced through training, development and otherperformance-enhancing activities such asperformance appraisal,succession planningand
development centersto review performance and assess employee development needs andpromotional potential.
For many organizations, securing the best quality candidates requires external recruitmentmethods. Rapidly changing business models demand skill and experience that cannot be sourced
or rapidly enough developed from the existing employee base. It would be unusual for an
organization to undertake all aspects of the recruitment process without support from third-party
dedicated recruitment firms. This may involve a range of support services, such as: provision ofCVs or resumes, identifying recruitment media, advertisement design and media placement for
job vacancies, candidate response handling,shortlisting, conductingaptitude test, preliminaryinterviewsor reference andqualificationverification. Typically, small organizations may nothave in-house resources or, in common with larger organizations, may not possess the particular
skill-set required to undertake a specific recruitment assignment. Where requirements arise, these
are referred on an ad HOC basis to governmentjob centersor commercially-runemploymentagencies.
Except in sectors where high-volume recruitment is the norm, an organization faced with sudden,unexpected requirements for an unusually large number of new recruits often delegates the task
to a specialist external recruiter. Sourcingexecutive-level andsenior managementas well as the
acquisition of scarce or high-potential recruits has been a long-established market serviced by a
wide range of search and selection orheadhunting consultancies, which typically form long-standing relationships with their client organizations. Finally, certain organizations practice
outsourcing complete responsibility for all workforce procurementto one or more third-party
recruitment agencies or consultancies. In the most complex of these arrangements, the external
recruitment services provider may not only physically locate, or embed, their resourcingteam(s) in the client organization's offices, but work in tandem with the senior human resource
management team in developing the longer-term HR resourcing strategy and plan.
[edit] Other considerations
Despite its more everyday use, terms such as "human resources" and, similarly, "human capital"
continue to be perceived negatively and may be considered insulting. They create the impressionthat people are merely commodities, like office machines or vehicles, despite assurances to the
contrary.
Modern analysis emphasizes that human beings are not "commodities" or "resources", but are
creative and social beings in a productive enterprise. The 2000 revision ofISO 9001, in contrast,requires identifying the processes, their sequence and interaction, and to define and communicate
responsibilities and authorities. In general, heavily unionised nations such asFranceand

Germanyhave adopted and encouraged such approaches. Also, in 2001, the International Labour
Organization decided to revisit and revise its 1975 Recommendation 150 on Human ResourcesDevelopment.[7]One view of these trends is that a strong social consensus on political economy
and a goodsocial welfare systemfacilitateslabor mobilityand tends to make the entire economy
more productive, as labor can develop skills and experience in various ways, and move from one
enterprise to another with little controversy or difficulty in adapting. Another view is thatgovernments should become more aware of their national role in facilitating human resources
development across all sectors.[citation needed]
[edit] Trans-national labor mobility
An important controversy regarding labor mobility illustrates the broader philosophical issuewith usage of the phrase "human resources". Governments of developing nations often regard
developed nations that encourage immigration or "guest workers" as appropriating human capital
that is more rightfully part of the developing nation and required to further its economic growth.
Over time, theUnited Nationshave come to more generally support the developing nations' pointof view, and have requested significant offsetting "foreign aid" contributions so that a developing
nation losing human capital does not lose the capacity to continue to train new people in trades,professions, and the arts.[8]
[edit] Ethical management
In the very narrow context of corporate "human resources" management, there is a contrasting
pull to reflect and requireworkplace diversitythat echoes the diversity of a global customer base.Such programs require foreign language and culture skills, ingenuity, humor, and careful
listening. These indicate a general shift through the human capital point of view to an
acknowledgment that human beings contribute more to a productive enterprise than just "work":they bring their character, ethics, creativity, social connections and, in some cases, pets andchildren, and alter the character of a workplace. The termcorporate cultureis used to
characterize such processes at the organizational level.[citation needed]
