...Functional Areas of Business A quality MBA program provides business leaders with the business acumen to succeed in all functional areas of business. These functional areas of business include management, law, human resource management, leadership, accounting, finance, economics, research and statistics, operations management, marketing, and strategic management (University of Phoenix, 2013). Two functional areas that involve leading people include leadership and human resource management. Organizations with a strong leadership team are poised for success in the marketplace. This success is a result of maximizing the human capital potential and growth opportunities within a company. Yukl (2009) in his book "Leadership in Organizations" proposes that the leadership function in business has 10 attributes critical for organizational success. The leadership function aligns objectives and strategies to facilitate movement toward a stated vision. To accomplish the organizational vision the leadership function must build mutual trust and commitment among all internal and external stakeholders. This sense of trust is developed through effective communication and sharing openly with others who have a stake in the business. Leadership teams explain the meaning of events and how that impacts the organization so that all stakeholders are well informed. This communication leads to building task commitment and optimism among the team to accomplish organizational goals and leads to a...

...Role of Managers in Human Resource “The human resource function has gone from the traditional hire and fire role to a strategic partner at the table with finance, operations and other business centers that are not centers of profit for the organization. The job of HR, as is the job of all such departments, is to ensure that the business gets the most out of its employees. Another way to put this is that the human resource management needs to provide a high return on the business's investment in its people. This makes it a highly complex function - because it deals with not just management issues but human ones as well”(2008). The human resource manager, (HR) is responsible for many facets in the organization. The role of the HR has traditionally been to hire and/ or fire employees, implement employee training, handle employee benefits, and help to develop and establish strategies within the organization. “In this way, HR professionals are consultants, not workers in an isolated business function; they advise managers on many issues related to employees and how they help the organization achieve its goals”(Bianca,2015). The human resource manager plays a part in several areas within the different levels of the organization. The HR manager collaborates, builds relationships, helps to build a commitment to the organization, and also helps to develop the organization’s capacity to grow. These are just a few of the roles and responsibilities that the HR manages performs in an...

...Health Care Human Resources Management It used to be that human resource was only thought of as the department who hires employees and safe keeps the clerical part of the organization. Human Resource is much more involved in the entire structure of the organization then just the clerical part of it. Human Resource Management (HRM) is the term used to describe formal systems devised for the management of people within an organization. The HRM department is responsible for three major areas including staffing, employee compensation and benefits and defining and designing work. HRM works for the benefit of the organization through managing its greatest business asset which is the employees. The task of managing employees of an organization brings many challenges, how HRM must remain focused on recruiting, retaining and engaging their organizations leaders and workforce to be successful. Several new trends are affecting how HRM make their hiring decisions. Two recent trends important to HRM leaders are leadership compensation/competencies and workforce engagement. In the setting of limited resources and new government mandates, healthcare is moving toward value-based care. HRM is now challenged to adjust executive compensation to keep in step with the industry change. In a population health model, physicians receive a value-based reimbursement to care rather than a fee for services. The physicians’ performance needs to be continually monitored in order to accurately...

...Challenges of Human Resource Managers In a time of increasing globalization, economic rationalization, competitiveness, deregulation, technological revolution and changing workforce there is an increasing need for human resource management to be able to capitalize and gain on the challenges that this changing environment will bring. For a company to be able to successfully stay ahead of its competition, human resource management has to be seen as a significant contributor within the company. Human resource management will face many challenges and will operate in a constant environment of change. Two of the most important challenges to the role of human resource management in the future is the capacity to develop and utilize a new set of competencies to fulfill the changing roles and the ability to move to a strategic human resource. In this assignment I will outline how each of these areas have developed to become two of the most important changes for Human Resource Managers and why I believe they are critical to the success of an organization. Strategic Human Resource Management The literature on the changing role of human resource management stresses the requirement to move from an administrative support function, or the more traditional human resource operational management model, to a strategic and facilitative role. To sustain the transformation of the human resource functions to a Strategic Human Resource Management model; it will require human resource professionals...

...The Manager’s Role in Strategic Human Resource Management The role of the Human Resource Manager is evolving with the change in competitive market environment and the realization that Human Resource Management must play a more strategic role in the success of an organization. (Mintzberg, H, Quinn, J B, Ghoshal, S (1989) Organizations that do not put their emphasis on attracting and retaining talents may find themselves in dire consequences, as their competitors may be outplaying them in the strategic employment of their human resources. With the increase in competition, locally or globally, organizations must become more adaptable, resilient, agile, and customer-focused to succeed. (Boxall, P 1992). And within this change in environment, the HR professional has to evolve to become a strategic partner, an employee sponsor or advocate, and a change mentor within the organization. In order to succeed, HR must be a business driven function with a thorough understanding of the organization’s big picture and be able to influence key decisions and policies. In general, the focus of today’s HR Manager is on strategic personnel retention and talents development. (Fombrun, C.J., Tichy, N,M, and Devanna, M.A. (1984) HR professionals will be coaches, counselors, mentors, and succession planners to help motivate organization’s members and their loyalty. The HR manager will also promote and fight for values, ethics, beliefs, and spirituality within their organizations, especially in the...

...Human Resource Management is the process of “getting keeping, and growing good people.” (Mike Losey, 2005) As people look to the past of Human Resource Management, they must also look at the changes needed to perform the duties in the future. Technology, society, and business have changed over time causing the duties of a Human Resource Manager to change. In the past, many employees and companies shared a common loyalty for each other that made the staff members dedicate their lives to the same company. That has now changed with people moving from company to company in search of experience and the challenge to improve their resume. As the position moves into the future, each manager needs to realize that they have to be able to wear many different hats. In order to obtain qualified employees, an HR Manager should have an understanding of every aspect of the company. The position of a Human Resource Manager is always revolving into a new aspect of the company. In order to progress into the future of HR, professionals must look into the past. This will allow companies to anticipate issues that may arise and avoid outcomes that were produced in the past. As companies move into the future, they need to create a network of recruiting that does not force them to weed through tons of applicants. In the past, access to qualified individuals has been limited to a local area, but the future offers technology that opens the door to applicants worldwide. Using the older method of recruiting...

...role of human resource management (HRM) in recent decades. Traditionally, the HR function has been viewed as primarily administrative, focusing on the level of the individual employee, the individual job, and the individual practice (Becker, Huselid, and Ulrich, 2001), with the basic premise that improvements in individual employee performance will automatically enhance organizational performance. In the 1990s, an emphasis on strategy and the importance of HR systems began to emerge. Both researchers and practitioners began to recognize the impact of aligning HR practices with organizational strategy. HR has now emerged as a strategic paradigm in which individual HR functions, such as recruitment, selection, training, compensation, and performance appraisal, are closely aligned with each other and also with the overall strategy of the organization. This new approach of managing human resources has introduced a more strategic role of HRM in an organization. Globalizations, technological advance, changes in the nature of work, changes in workforce demographics are the factors that demand more strategic role of HRM in management. In order to play a more strategic role as a HR manager you need to involve in many tasks like creating strategy execution role, creating formulation execution role, creating a strategic HRM system, creating high-performance-work system, translating strategy into HR policy & practice, and creating a HR scorecard process. 2.

...and the job I would like to obtain in the health care field. I will also address skills that I have currently acquired and skills that I would like to acquire and skills that I need to change or alter. In closing I will review my plan to achieve these goals, I will identify the organization(s) that will help me achieve these goals, and I will identify how a career action plan outline will benefit my goals. The key to setting career goals begins with having a clear vision of the end state you are trying to achieve. This needs to occur before you can take actions to reach that goal. With that being stated, developing a vision statement for your career path is the first step in reaching your career goals ("Berkeley HR", 2015). My personal vision statement is to become a human resources manager, but not to just become a human resources manager. I want to become a manager with integrity, trust and respect for all persons that I encounter. I also want to be an encourager and one who empowers my staff to the greatest extent possible. Once I have clearly defined my vision statement, I must then give serious consideration to how I plan to make that vision a reality. In setting my goals, I realize that they have to be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and timely. My first goal is to complete my undergrad degree in Health Administration. I should be finished with my degree in February of 2016. Once I have completed all the required coursework for my degree, my next goal...

...Assignment: Is it Time to Split Up HR? Mind the Talent Management Gap: HR-A and HR-LO Abstract Human Resources has gone through ever-evolving changes over the years. They have been transitioning from transactional to becoming a strategic business partner with the high level executives of businesses. They are moving towards becoming the corporate centers of excellence by developing the right metric and analytics, the right talent and understanding how much human capital impacts successful business results. This paper analyzes the trends, contributions, skills and challenges that HR professionals have been and are going through to become the effective Strategic Partner. Mind the Talent Management Gap: HR-A versus HR-LO Ram Charan, a worldwide business adviser and speaker, suggests to eliminate the position of Chief Human Resources Officer and split human resources into 2 strands for the sake of practicality in helping HR build business intelligence to help organizations perform best. One strand would be called something like HR-A for administration, would manage compensation and benefits, and report to the CFO. This strand would view compensation to attract talent and not just a large cost. The other strand would be called something like HR-LO for leadership and organization, would focus on talent development and performance and report to the CEO. High potential line managers from operations or finance with business expertise and people skills would lead HR-LO. Leading...
