Understanding HRM and Its Functions
Human Resource Management (HRM) comprises various issues related to recruitment, selection, training, development, career management, compensation management, work discipline, organizational structure, employee satisfaction, performance management, and many others. It should ideally be a strategic function as it can make a tremendous contribution to business results.
Unfortunately, we create confusion between the HRM department and the HRM role. The HRM department is an organizational setup responsible for evolving Human Resource policies, while the HRM role is everybody's responsibility in the organization. If you have at least ONE assistant, you are an HRM manager for them. This is unfortunately not understood by most managements.
