IMPORTANCE OF STRATEGIC HRM IN ORGANIZATIONS


Human resource management deals with any aspects of a business that affects employees, such as hiring and firing, pay, benefits, training, and administration. Human resources may also provide work incentives, safety procedure information, and sick or vacation days. Strategic human resource management is the proactive management of people. It requires thinking ahead, and planning ways for a company to better meet the needs of its employees, and for the employees to better meet the needs of the company. This can affect the way things are done at a business site, improving everything from hiring practices and employee training programs to assessment techniques and discipline.

Companies who work hard to meet the needs of their employees can cultivate a work atmosphere conducive to productivity. Human resource management is the best way to achieve this. Being able to plan for the needs of employees by thinking ahead can help to improve the rate of skilled employees who chose to remain working for a company. Improving the employee retention rate can reduce the money companies spend on finding and training new employees. When creating a human resources plan, it is important to consider employees may want or need and what the company can reasonably supply. A larger company can usually afford training and benefit programs that smaller companies cannot afford to offer. This does not mean that a smaller company should not engage in strategic human resource management. Providing specialized on-site training, even if provided by senior members of the company, and offering one-on-one assessment and coaching sessions, can help employees reach peak performance rates. An important aspect of strategic human resource management is employee development. This process begins when a company is recruiting and interviewing prospective employees. Improved interviewing techniques can help to weed out applicants that may not be a good match for the company. Strategic human resource management is essential in both large and small companies. In small companies, this may be as simple as the owner or manager taking a little time every day to observe, assist, and assess employees, and provide regular reviews. Larger companies may have a whole department in charge of human resources and development. By meeting the needs of the employees in a way that also benefits the company, it is possible to improve the quality of staff members. Taking the effort to provide employees with the tools they need to thrive is worth the investment.

PURPOSE OF STRATEGIC HRM ACTIVITES IN AN ORGANIZATION


In todays intensely competitive and global marketplace, maintaining a competitive advantage by becoming a low cost leader or a differentiator puts a heavy premium on having a highly committed or competent workforce. Competitive advantage lies not just in differentiating a product or service or in becoming the low cost leader but in also being able to tap the companys special skills or core competencies and rapidly respond to customers needs and competitors moves. In other words competitive advantage lies in managements ability to consolidate corporate-wide technologies and production skills into competencies that empower individual businesses to adapt quickly to changing opportunities.

PURPOSE OF HR POLICIES IN ORGANIZATIONS


HR policies allow an organization to be clear with employees on: The nature of the organization What they should expect from the organization What the organization expects of them How policies and procedures work What is acceptable and unacceptable behavior The consequences of unacceptable behavior

The establishment of policies can help an organization demonstrate, both internally and externally, that it meets requirements for diversity, ethics and training as well as its commitments in relation to regulation and corporate governance. For example, in order to dismiss an employee in accordance with employment law requirements, amongst other considerations, it will normally be necessary to meet provisions within employment contracts and collective bargaining agreements. The establishment of an HR Policy which sets out obligations, standards of behavior and document displinary procedures, is now the standard approach to meeting these obligations. HR policies can also be very effective at supporting and building the desired organizational culture. For example recruitment and retention policies might outline the way the organization values a flexible workforce, compensation policies might support this by offering a 48/52 pay option where employees can take an extra four weeks holidays per year and receive less pay across the year. IMPACT OF REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS ON HUMAN RESOURCE POLICIE The Human Resource Department has many legal laws, safety laws and requirements to abide by to prevent law suits against companies. The Human Resource Department must follow the rules given by the U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the American with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Department of Homeland Security, and many other laws. Each law is accompanied by a set of regulations cover all aspects about the law. These laws were put in place to prevent any manager from feeling like they can fire or mistreat any employee without probable cause. To completely understand the Human Resource Law, anyone in a Human Resource position has to have the knowledge of their job and the resources to look up additional information if needed

to prevent lawsuits. The Human Resource Department is responsible for keeping records, writing and implementing good HR policies and monitoring the firms Human Resource Department closely. The Human Resource department has to deal with legal, safety and regulatory requirements on a daily basis. Understanding and knowing the laws will help to prevent managers from putting any organization into a lawsuit filed my employees. The Human Resource dept works with managers to make sure that written policies are in place, communication of the policy are understood by the employees. Common sense and compassion has been replaced by litigation. There used to be times when employees trusted that their employers would treat them right. Employees didnt feel any threats of losing their job due to illness, race, age or sex. Many organizations have hostile environments where employers feel they can do what they want and when they want. People are not treated fairly and thats the reason laws had to be put in place to protect the working class. Managers who take their power to another level have caused employees to file complaints. More and more lawsuits of discrimination are filed due to the negligence of employers. Just because a manager is put in a position to manage, that doesnt mean the manager knows the job and how to treat people fairly. We are all humans working to make a living but when someone feels like theyre being mistreated; they have no other choice but to defend themselves. Complying with the human resource law is important because its the right thing to do. It helps managers truly understand the human resource department laws in which everyone must abide by and it helps the firm from potentially having lawsuits filed.

All these objectives are set to achieve the profit maximization and a greater market share for the firm. And on the basis of these goals each department sets its own goals. Each departmental head is responsible to meet those goals and objectives and further subdivide into his department and then yearly goals are divided into months. Each departmental managers target is to meet these goals in each month. After each month they evaluate that whether they have met or not and if they are unable to meet those goals then they take necessary actions to cover them in the future.
