Hi,
I find in organizations the Finance Manager is managing the finance; some of the departments may buy, or sell or do transactions invlolving money, but ultimately it is the finance manager who is handling the finance.
Similarly, the Marketing Manager is directly doing the marketing activities and therefore he is managing the market for his company.
The Projects Manager is executing the projects; so he with his department is managing all the business projects of the company.
Or, if you take the case of a Production Manager, he is certainly handling the production and therefore when you call him as Production Manager it sounds logical.
But, you take the case of the Human Resource Manager.
The human resource of the company is not under his management. It is all with other managers of the company - the production guys are under the production manager, the sales guys under the sales manager, the IT guys under the IT manager, and so on.
The HR Manager is having only the HR team guys under him.
Then, how do you call him the 'Human Resource Manager'?
If you say he is only recruiting, then I would say recruitment is not human resource management because during recruitment the human resource does not belong to the company and once recruited the people are handed over to other departments for being managed by respective managers.
If you say the HR manager is only finally terminating, then termination is not HR management. Once terminated, the employee is not with the company any more.
If you say the HR manager is managing the performance of all the employees, it is not true, because it is the concerned department manager, who is managing the performance of his department employees. HR Manager at the best can give a performance management system to the company.
If you analyse like this, you will find that the HR manager is the only manager in the company, who is not managing the human resource of the company.
Then, there are two questions to ask -
1. Is the HR Manager managing the human resource?
Or,
2. Should he be designated as Manager - HRRM (i.e. Manager - HR Related Management)?
Please tell me, friends.
