Hello all,
I am currently a student in U of T. I am interested in human resource management, but honestly, I dont' really know what it is. I can say that it is about managing people effectively, but is that it? human resources is so broad. I want to work in a area of HR to promote harmony in the workplace, employee satisfaction, conflict resolution etc. what is that called?
any replies will be appreciated! :)

Hi there! Im Shalum Salvador, im new in this forum. i just hope this information will be of help to you in making decision of your chosen career with regards to Human Resource Management.

Here is an overview of what should be the attitude of a good Human resource Person.

Human Resource Management

The competence and skill needed to effectively manage people in work settings will be increasingly important to organizations in future years. To meet this challenge, this area is intended for two types of management-oriented students: (1 ) Students who believe that they will be more effective in their future careers if they master the skill of managing people in technical work settings as line managers and (2) Students who plan to specialize in the industrial relations and personnel functions as staff managers. This area is concerned with developing and disseminating knowledge and skills concerned with the management and utilization of human resources to meet the needs of individuals and organizations in the private, public, and nonprofit sectors. The area utilizes behavioral and management theories and empirical knowledge in the fields of:

* Personnel Management

* Organizational Behavior and Change

* Compensation and Benefits Management

* Management Training and Development

* Dispute Resolution and Conflict Management

* Industrial and Labor Relations

Students can obtain information on different career options in the area and the courses that support these career options by contacting the Department of Organizational Behavior and Environment, BUS-2028. Students can then select those courses that will best help them prepare for their future career plans.

Hi Peteer,
All the best for your endeavours
The ans your gave is pretty good. It would be a good idea to substantiate these with specific instances from your real life in your group of friends . Instances like
1. how you were able to motivate a friend / relative
2. instances when you were able to resolve issues between two parties
3. Instances where you handled a situation maturely.
4. Some instances from your school / college days
Most of us do have such instances in our life. Important thing is to take time out, reflect on them and have these ready before you go for any interview
