Strategic and coherent approach to the management of an organization's most valued assets Human resource (or personnel) management, in the sense of getting things done through people

It's an essential part of every manager's responsibilities, but many organizations find it advantageous to establish a specialist division to provide an expert service dedicated to ensuring that the human resource function is performed efficiently "People are our most valuable asset" is a clich which no member of any senior management team would disagree with. Yet, the reality for many organizations is that their people remain

under valued under trained under utilized poorly motivated, and consequently perform well below their true capability

The rate of change facing organizations has never been greater and organizations must absorb and manage change at a much faster rate than in the past. In order to implement a successful business strategy to face this challenge, organizations, large or small, must ensure that they have the right people capable of delivering the strategy

The market place for talented, skilled people is competitive and expensive. Taking on new staff can be disruptive to existing employees. Also, it takes time to develop 'cultural awareness', product/ process/ organization knowledge and experience for new staff members.

As organizations vary in size, aims, functions, complexity, construction, the physical nature of their product, and appeal as employers, so do the contributions of human resource management. But, in most the ultimate aim of the function is to: "ensure that at all times the business is correctly staffed by the right number of people with the skills relevant to the business needs", that is, neither overstaffed nor understaffed in total or in respect of any one discipline or work grade.

Human Resource are the only assets that appreciate over a period while physical assets just depreciate with years Further human resource alone can produce an output larger than the input. This is possible due to the creative skills of humans Creative thinking is the process of predicting, envisioning and then inventing an idea, concept or insight along innovative and alternative lines

People in the organization are the only basis for such creativity and there is no obvious limit to their imagination Organizations require human resource of different types to operate all physical resources. Thus, they provide utility value to each one of the physical assets. In fact, the real worth of a physical asset depends on the quality and caliber of the people working with it. An incompetent workforce will spoil the physical resources available to it

There is a growing realization that the felicity of an organization depends more on people than on any technical factors. Modern equipment may ensure quality and cost competitiveness but the operational flexibility which is core to product modification and innovation, is provided only by the employees. This is so since humans alone can grasp situation adequately and respond suitably
