Functions of Human Resource Management

 

1.     Introduction

Human Resources Management guarantees that an organization runs smoothly. The process begins with developing the appropriate policies for the work requirements and concludes with assuring the company's continued performance. As a result, HRM is an unseen force that connects all areas of an organization to ensure seamless progress (Shalini L, 2021).

2.     7 Functions of the Human Resources Department

HR plays a significant role in the organization. Recruitment, performance management, learning and development, and many others are among them. (Vulpen, Erik Van;, 2020).

I would like to list down the 12 Key functions of HR and briefly explain a few of them.

2.1 Human resource planning

Human resource planning (HRP) is a continuous process of systematic planning ahead to ensure that an organization's most important asset—quality employees—is used to its full potential. Human resource planning ensures that personnel and occupations are a good fit while avoiding manpower shortages or surpluses (Hayes, Adam;, 2022).

2.2 Recruitment and selection

The process of attracting suitable individuals for a job role is called recruitment, and the process of identifying and selecting the best candidate for that job is called selection (Empxtrack, 2013).

2.3 Performance Management

In human resource management, performance management is crucial. It is utilized to establish a work atmosphere that encourages employees to provide their best effort and produce high-quality work (HRHelpBoard, 2017).

2.4 Learning and Development

This human resource management role assists employees in acquiring the skills and information they need to execute their jobs effectively. Both new and existing staff are given training and growth opportunities. Training and development equip employees for higher-level responsibility (Manish, Patidar, 2022).

2.5 Career Planning

As an HR function, career planning is an effort to track and work an existing employee's progress so that he can be promoted within the company. Within an organization, companies can discover bright and prospective workers and seek to enhance their career paths (Azmi, Waqar;, 2019).

2.6 Function Evaluation

2.7 Rewards

2.8 Industrial Relations

2.9 Employee Participation and Communication

2.10                     Health and Safety

2.11                     Personal Wellbeing

2.12                     Administrative Responsibilities.
