...HR Organization Design: Motors and More, Inc. Dounia Benkabbou April Bombka Valerie Bright Brittany Brown MBA 533-Human Resource in Management Dr. Andrew McLeod May 15, 2016 Human Resource Organization Design An efficiently run human resources department can provide an organization with structure and the ability to meet business needs through managing the organization’s most valuable resources—its employees. This internally coherent system, or a business within a business, must be aligned with the mission and objectives of the organization (Becker & Huselid, 1999). Therefore, the human resources department must work closely with management and understand the organization’s goals. The human resource department is responsible for analyzing the entire organization so it can propose proper adjustments to management for increased efficiency, production, and financial success (Ulrich, Younger, & Brockbank, 2008). The Typical Human Resource Department While the structure of the human resources department might vary from organization to organization, there are six essential functions of any human resources department no matter how big or small: recruitment, safety, employee relations, compensation and benefits, compliance, and training and development (Mayhew, 2016). Human Resources Director The Human Resources Director influences and administers the overall provision of the Human Resources Department. This includes but is not limited to services...

This paper also address the possible implementation challenges that GM may face so as to mitigate them. However, detailed implementation approaches of these strategies are beyond the scope of this paper. HR Strategies There are growing evidence of positive impact HR strategies have on organisational effectiveness and performance (Boselie, Dietz and Boon 2005; Combs et al. 2006; Guest et al. 2003; Huang 2000). Lee, Lee and Wu (2010) quoted Mondy et al. (2002) on the boundary of HR strategies to include five key functions: staffing, human resource development, compensation and benefits, safety and health, and employee and labour relations. Based on Lee, Lee and Wu (2010)’s own study, which extended Mondy et al. (2002)’s HR strategies to include teamwork, HR planning, performance appraisal and employment security, they concluded that HR strategies do attribute to a company’s performances. The espousals of HR strategies are critical in motivating employees’ commitment towards corporate’s strategic objectives (Buller and McEvoy 2012). GM’s HR Director, Susan Maffat, commented on unclear HR strategy offers an indication of GM’s poor or ineffective/inefficient HR strategies. The following problems currently faced by GM are the manifestation of key HR issues due to deficient HR strategies:...

Key roles of human resource management in the health care field.
