HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT


INTRODUCTION
The advent of the era of liberalization and globalization along with the advancement in information technology (IT) has transformed world around us. It has brought to center stage the importance of human resources, more than ever before. The purpose of human resources management (HRM) is to enable appropriate deployment of human resources. In a competitive scenario, effective utilization of human resources has become necessary and the primary task of organization is to identify, recruit, and channel competent human resources into their business operations for improving productivity and functional efficiency. Effective utilization of human resource would lead to both accomplishment of individual and organizational goals and creation of assets at national level. It is in this context that development of human resources, which involves continuous honing of employee skills, has become vital for the survival of organizations, let alone growth and development.

An analysis of various definitions indicates that human resource management includes the following activities: Human resource management can be defined as a strategic and coherent approach to the management of the most valued assets of an organization, i.e., people, who individually and collectively contribute to organizational objectives. Aligning the HR strategy with the corporate strategy of the organization Working for the well being of all the employees Developing employee competencies Sourcing, deployment, and development of human resources for optimal utilization Employee empowerment Performance management

DEFINITION:
According to EDWARD FILIPPO Human resource management is defined as, planning, organizing, directing and controlling of the procurement, development, compensation, integration, maintenance and separation of human resources to the end that individual, organizational and social objectives are accomplished. Human resource management is defined as, a series of integrated decisions that form the employment relationship; their quality contributes to the ability of the organizations and the employees to achieve their objectives.

FUNCTIONS OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT


HRM is a management function, which involve planning, organizing, directing and controlling. HRM facilitates retention of skilled and competent employees. HRM builds the competencies of human resources by facilitating continuous learning and development. HRM develops and implements high performance work systems. HRM develops management practices that engender high commitment. HRM develops practices, which foster teamwork and flexibility HRM makes the employees feel that they are valued and rewarded for their contribution. HRM facilitates management of workforce diversity and availability of equal opportunities to all. HRM is multidisciplinary subject. It borrows from management, education, sociology, communication and psychology. HRM is universally applicable that is it can be applied to companies, education institution, government department, hospital etc.

OBJECTIVES OF HRM
The primary objective of HRM is to ensure the availability of competent and willing workforce to an organization. Beyond this, there are other objectives, too. HRM objectives are four fold societal, organizational, functional and personal.

Societal Objectives: To be ethically and socially responsible to the needs and challenges of the society while minimizing the negative impact of such demands upon the organization. The failure of organizations to use their resources for the societys benefit in ethical ways may lead to restrictions. For example, the society may limit HR decisions through laws that enforce reservation in hiring and laws that address discrimination, safety or other such areas of societal concern.

Organizational Objectives: Every organization aims to achieve a higher market share, increase sales margin and higher profits. All this is not possible if the workforce in the company is not effective, efficient, motivated and happy. HRM helps to maintain effective employee relation, helps in proper selection and training, placement and assessment, etc.

Functional Objectives: To maintain the departments contribution at a level appropriate to the organisations needs. Resources are wasted when HRM is either more or less sophisticated to suit the organisations demands. The departments level of service must be tailored to fit the organization it serves.

Personal Objectives: HR assist employees in achieving their personal goals; at least insofar as these as these goals enhance the individuals contribution to the organization. Personal objectives of employees must be met if workers are to be maintained, retained and motivated. Otherwise, employee performance and satisfaction may decline and employees may leave the organization.

Training and Development

Meaning and Definition:


A business' most important asset is often its people. Training and developing them can be one of the most important investments a business can make. The right training can ensure that your business has the right skills to tackle the future. It can also help attract and retain good quality staff, as well as increasing the job satisfaction of those presently with you increasing the chances that they will satisfy your customers. Training and development refer to the imparting to specific skills ability and knowledge to an employee. A formal definition of training and development is: It is any attempt to improve current or future employee performance by increasing an employees ability to perform through learning, usually by changing the employees attitudes or increasing his or her skills and knowledge. The need for training and development is determined by the employees performance deficiency, computed as follows: Training and Development need = Standard performance Actual performance.

We can make a distinction among training, education and development. Such distinction enables us to acquire a better perspective about the meaning of the terms. Training, as was started earlier, refers to the process of imparting specific skills. Education, on the other hand, is confined to theoretical learning in the classrooms.

Objectives of Training and Development


Staying ahead in today's business world is more challenging than ever. Building trust and promoting teamwork are just two expectations of any business leader. Training and development programs are designed to keep an organization at the front of its industry maximize performance and energize every level of the organization. Training and Development is also seen to strengthen the tie between employee development and strategic operation objectives. The objectives of Training and Development are as follows: -

Efficiency: Employees become efficient after undergoing training. Efficient employees contribute to the growth of the organization.
Fewer accidents: Accidents, scrap and damage to machinery and equipment can be avoided or minimized through training. Even dissatisfaction, complaints, absenteeism, and turnover can be reduced if employees are trained well. Meeting manpower needs: Future needs of employees will be met through training and development programmes. Training serves as an effective source of recruitment. Training is an investment in human resource with promise of better returns in future.

Improves quality: Better-informed workers are likely to make less operational mistakes. Quality of products or services will definitely increase. This can be well measured through the reduction in rejections.
Personal growth: Training programmes also deal with personality development of the employees (through goal setting, motivation, leadership skills, etc.) thus they personally gain through exposure to training programmes. Obsolescence prevention: Training and development programs foster the initiative and the creativity of the employees and help to prevent the manpower obsolescence, which may be due to age, temperament, or the inability of the person to adapt himself to technological changes. Versatility in operations: Training makes the employees versatile in operations. All rounders can be transferred to any job. Flexibility is therefore ensured. Growth indicates prosperity, which is reflected in profits every year.

Employee stability: Training contributes to employee stability in at least 2 ways. Employees become efficient after undergoing training. Efficient employees contribute to the growth of the organization. Growth renders stability to the work force. Further trained employees tend to stay with the organization.

TRAINING AND EDUCATION DIFFERENTIATED:

Training

Education Theoretical oriented Classroom learning General concepts Broad perspective

Application oriented Job experience Specific tasks Narrow perspective

Development refers to those learning opportunities designed to help employees grow. Development is not primarily skill-oriented. Instead, it provides general knowledge and attitudes, which will be helpful to employees in higher positions. Efforts towards development often depend on personal drive and ambition. Development activities, such as those supplied by management development programmes, are generally voluntary.

F.M.E.A.
What is FMEA? Failure Mode and Effects Analysis. First used in Aerospace industry to find problems with an aircraft before it ever left the ground. In services industry, FMEA is critical because there is no scope for quality control after a service encounter has occurred. Identify potential failure modes in the process in anticipation of the service encounter In this way, potential for errors is reduced or eliminated, allowing for only the smallest possibility of customer dissatisfaction

Ten steps to be taken to conduct a FMEA:


1) Select a service process to be analyzed 2) Define responsibility (team, designers, etc) 3) Flow chart the process 4) List and describe all failure modes at each step in the process 5) Perform a criticality assessment by determining the risk level for each fault by failure probability or severity of failure 6) Rank the faults in terms of priority 7) Design changes to reduce the risk of the highest priority failure modes 8) Specify outcome measures and criteria to determine the success of the changes 9) Specify a time frame 10) Implement the changes and evaluate

What potential rewards can FMEA provide?


Minimized customer defection / increased customer satisfaction Increased consistency in service quality Reduced transaction costs / increased profits Providing documentation of failures which can be tracked over time Making accountability easier to pinpoint

Facilitating continuous improvement


The main aim of this service excellence training programme is to make promises deliverable Clearly setting out details & specifies are imperative in ensuring the through understanding of a customer service programme Businessmen want to get to where theyre going, not wait
