...Human Resource Management A New Mandate for Human Resources By Dave Ulrich 1 Summary In recent times HR has been perceived as ineffective, incompetent and costly. A need has been felt for creating a new role and agenda to focus on the outcomes and deliverables enrichinhg the organisations value to customers, investors and employees. The four ways which should be adopted by the HR are ← It should partener with the management in executing the strategy ← Develop an expertise in organizing and executing administrative work efficiently. ← Become a medium of transferring employes concerns to the management and develop means to increase employee contribution. ← It should become a change agent, shaping processes and cultures for facilitating change in the organization. The primary role of transforming the HR role lies on the CEO and all line managers who have the main responsibility of achieving the business goals. Thus the line and the HR should form a partnership to make it focused on outcomes rather than activities. 1 Reasons for increase in importance of HR HR can play leadership role in meeting the following competitive challenges Globalisation – The HR must develop understanding and skills in ways of international customers, commerece and competition.

HR’s contribution to achieve this is vital. It is in this light that HR’s role & responsibilities needs to be relooked & redefined to extract meaningful contribution from HR.

...is a new role for HR and therefore it may have to acquire new skills and capabilities. In time, the concept of HR as a strategic partner will make business sense. • Becoming an Administrative Expert - In their new role as administrative experts, however, they will need to shed their traditional image of rule-making policy police, while still making sure that all the required routine work in companies is done well. In order to move from their old role as administrators into their new role, HR staff will have to improve the efficiency of both their own function and the entire organization. But decreased costs aren't the only benefit of HR's becoming the organization's administrative expert. Impr oving efficiency will build HR's credibility, which, in turn, will open the door for it to become a partner in executing strategy. • Becoming an Employee Champion - Companies cannot thrive unless their employees are engaged fully. Engaged employees - th at is, employees who believe they are valued - share ideas, work harder than th e necessary minimum, and relate better to customers, to name just three benefits. In their new role, HR professionals must be held accountable for ensuring that employees are engaged - that they feel committed to the organization and contribute fully. HR must now take responsibility for orienting and training line management about the importance of high employee morale and how to achieve it. In addition , the new HR should be the employees' ...

...report traces the evolution of the HR function from its traditional role of personnel management into what is known today as Strategic Human Resources Management (SHRM) and the role that devolution has played in this evolutionary cycle. From the research, it was observed that the devolution of HR responsibilities to line managers has enabled the HR function to take on a more strategic role as a business partner of the organization. It is also observed that devolution has benefited both line managers and employees alike by reducing bureaucratic red-tape and providing a faster approach to decision making and problem solving. The limitation of this report is that the negative aspects of devolution as noted by many researchers are not covered due to limitations in the length and scope of the assignment.

.... Outline and discuss the key HRM issues in the case study that are at the heart of the decline of the company (there are at least five). There are many significant HRM issues evident at Clayton’s Brewed Drinks and they all stem from the top with the functionality of senior management, cascading down the organisation affecting many areas. Managers fulfil many different roles every day and are constantly switching roles as tasks, situations, and expectations change (Mintzberg, 1989). These roles can be can be categorised, as presented by Mintzberg in Table 1, into interpersonal, informational and decisional. Category Roles Interpersonal Figurehead Leader Liaison Informational Monitor Disseminator Spokesperson Decisional Entrepreneur Disturbance Handler Resource Allocator Negotiator Table 1. Mintzberg, H. (1989). Mintzsberg on Management. New York: The Free Press. At present, it appears that senior management are focusing on the roles within the interpersonal category, albeit ineffectively. They spend much of their time promoting the idea that their people are the organisation’s most valuable resource when the perception held by the employees beneath them is in contradiction to this. Senior management’s superficial presentation of their leadership only inflames the degeneration of the culture and morale within the organisation where trust and loyalty is quickly evaporating. Rather than function with more focus on the decisional category where information is sourced...

...The article speaks about four ways in which HR can deliver organisationalexcellence. First being partnering with senior and line managers in strategyexecution. Second, it delivers administrative efficiency to ensure that costs arereduced while the quality is maintained. Third, it helps in increasing employeecontribution. Finally, it acts an agent of continuous transformation. Based onthese points, the line managers must work to completely integrate HR intocompany’s real work. There are five challenges that the companies face in the modern scenariobecause of which HR finds an important role. First, increase in globalisation haspushed the companies to increase their ability to learn, collaborate and managediversity, complexity and ambiguity. Second, initially the companiesconcentrated on cost cutting measures to increase their efficiency but later onthe focus needs to shift towards revenue growth. They must be market focussed,develop innovative and creative products and must encourage free flow of information. Third, there is a need to incorporate technology as a viable,productive part of the work setting. Fourth, the organisations face a majorchallenge in attracting, developing and retaining intellectual capital. Last, thesuccessful organisations are the ones which adapt themselves quickly to thechanges and which can take rapid decisions and innovate new ways of doingbusiness. The challenges described above have moulded new roles for HR. Successfulorganisations are the ones which...

...required for a HR department to be strategic are: 1) Be transformational, not transactional 2) Think about your structure 3) Be credible – have educated, experienced, trained HR practitioners 4) Provide value for services CHAPTER 2 BE TRANSFORMATIONAL, NOT TRANSACTIONAL Ans1 Line department: This department is essential for the survival of the organisation. For example: In the manufacturing company, manufacturing department, finance department and the sales department are the line department and these department are essential for the existence of the organisation because manufacturing company cannot survive without these departments. As these departments manufacture the product and arrange the finance for the company and also sell the products. Staff department: In contrast, Staff departments are the department, which exists to help the line department in its activities. The staff departments are to advise, counsel and assist the line departments. Like in manufacturing company, the department, which is not manufacturing department, finance department and sales department, is a staff department. There is also one more point to contrast these department like if the company has to reduce the people or department then they would like to eliminate staff department rather than line department. This does not means that the staff department is not essential, it is essential but the line department is more essential and the company must have it at any cost. Ans2 HR practitioners...

...Traditional and Transformational. Transactional services are those which are daily practices which are essential to the management of all Human Resource (HR) practices. These “micro” services have a low impact on the business strategy at hand but ensure smooth maintenance of operations (Wright, McMahan, Snell & Gerhart, 1998). Such examples may include payroll processing and record-keeping, general employee services. Traditional services are services which have some impact on daily running of the business and have some strategic elements necessary to maintain the businesses objectives. That is, they form the practices and systems to ensure execution of strategy, including recruitment and staff selection, training, and performance management, compensation, and industrial relations (Wright et al, 1998). These services have impacts on both an operational and strategic level. Transformational services have a high impact on a strategic level. These are the “macro” services which have the biggest impact on a business in moving towards achieving their objectives and strategies. These services have a large impact on the way the business operates and staffing, creating long-term capability and adaptability (Wright et al, 1998). Examples may include workforce planning, policy and work practice procedure development/changes, cultural change and strategic redirection. Question 2: In developing Human Resources services what factors need to be taken into consideration? There are many...

Will this proposed regulation affect you or the business in which you are working? The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is in charge of the National Priorities List. Currently the EPA is seeking to propose a rule 61. I currently work for a corporation, AECOM that stands for Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Operations, Management, where our job is to destroy chemical agent, such as mustard nerve agent.

Part of our job is to stay up-to-date with the laws and regulations that change and come up to ensure we are not breaking the law when it comes to transporting, handling, and destroying the chemical agent.

...their processes with the organizational goals. HR works as a guiding force to help organizations achieve these goals. Strategic HR as stated by Mello (2014), “involves the development of a constant, aligned collection of practices, programs, and policies to facilitate the achievement of the organizations strategic objectives” (p. 150).

This gives the individuals involved with HR the advantage to partner with top manage to decide on what is needed to get different task done.

...The Evolution of HR: Developing HR as an Internal Consulting Organization Richard M. Vosburgh, Mirage Resorts, MGM MIRAGE A s the role and impact of the HR profession continue to evolve, we have reached a critical crossroad. Together and now, business leaders and HR professionals have the opportunity to understand the history that brings us to our current situation, to be informed by predictable trends, and to make the transformation necessary to result in organizational competitive advantage and HR functional viability. Over the last hundred years, the HR profession evolved dramatically, usually in response to external conditions. Unquestionably we are changing—the issue in front of us is whether we will define that future or simply react to the changes that continue to occur in the economy and in our business models. Human ResouRce Planning 30.3 11 If we do not step forward with compelling HR leadership, the future will be determined for us. When the June 2005 Business Week reports “Why HR Gets No Respect,” the August 2005 Fast Company proclaims “Why We Hate HR,” and the “evil personnel director” in Dilbert continues to get knowing laughs, something is going on that the HR profession needs to address. This set of issues goes beyond the never-ending lamentations about lacking a seat at the table for the top HR person—this is about the future of HR in total. We present a historical review and conclude that HR’s greatest opportunity is to develop the organizational...
