...Human resources policies are a set of practices and procures used to manage interactions between the employer and employee. In general, human resource is primarily focused on employee management, which includes recruitment, hiring, managing, and termination. All companies have human resources policies, as they are typically required by law. In the United States, the Labor Standards Act provides a list of required procedures for all employers. These procedures cover all the major life events for an employee and are mandatory. (Jucious, 1963). There are four generic areas of human resources policies: recruitment, employment standards, discipline, and termination. The Labor Standards Act provides a basic framework, on which all human resource policies are built. The purpose of human resources policy is to clearly communicate the company’s internal procedures, requirements, and consequences. It is worth noting that almost half of all civil lawsuits are a result of a dispute surrounding human resources issues. In recruitment, there are four common human resources policies. When a position is vacant, the length of time applications will be accepted and who can apply is provided in policy. Prioritization of applicants and the granting of preferential status during the application process are common in both union and non-union environments. Non-discriminatory hiring practices based on race, religion, and gender is standard. Checking of references as part of a condition of employment...

...EVALUATION OF THE HR POLICY OF THE WORLD BANK | | COURSE CODE AND TITLE: HUM 501 (HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT) | REGISTRATION NUMBER: SB/MHR/11/0004DATE: 14TH OCTOBER, 2011 | UNIVERSITY OF CAPE COAST SCHOOL OF BUSINESS UNIVERSITY OF CAPE COAST SCHOOL OF BUSINESS TOPIC WHAT IS A HUMAN RESOURCE POLICY? Generally, a policy, according to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, 7th edition (2007), is a plan of action agreed on or chosen by a political party, a business, etc. en.wikipedia.org describes policy as a principle or rule to guide decisions and achieve rational outcome(s). From these definitions, one can therefore deduce that policies are plans of action, principles, or rules which are meant to serve as guidelines to decision making in order to achieve a rational outcome. Policies are generally adopted by the Board of or senior governance body within an organization. That is to say that adopting the policies of any company does not lie with just anybody because policies serve more or less as guidelines as to what should be done and why they should be done; therefore they should come from the senior governing members of an organisation. Policies can be formulated to serve specific people or situations, depending on the purpose for which it must serve. They can come from either the government of a country, board of governors of a company or even an international control body. Human resource policy is a typical example of policies. “Human Resource Policies are continuing...

Synthesis of readings for the week: HR policies and practices really can have a significant impact on the organization’s effectiveness. The selection process begins by people filling out applications and some companies even start with background checks. This is the rough beginning and anyone who doesn’t qualify is automatically ruled out. Next is substantive selection where anyone who made it through the first round is subject to written tests and interviews to further see if they qualify. If you make it through this round you are among the best qualified and all you need to do is make it through contingent selection, which is basically drug test and background checks, and then you are offered the position.

...India's Economic Reforms Montek S Ahluwalia* The past three years have seen major changes in India's economic policies marking a new phase in India's development strategy. The broad thrust of the new policies is not very different from the changes being implemented in other developing countries and also all over the erstwhile socialist world. They aim at reducing the extent of Government controls over various aspects of the domestic economy, increasing the role of the private sector, redirecting scarce public sector resources to areas where the private sector is unlikely to enter, and opening up the economy to trade and foreign investment. These changes have been accompanied by a lively debate in India and have also attracted interest abroad. International opinion has typically welcomed the reforms and generally urged a much faster pace of implementation, especially in view of changes taking place in other countries. Within India, opinion has been more varied. There are some who question the very direction of reform, but this is definitely a minority opinion. More generally, the broad direction of reform has met with wide approval, but there are differences of view on what should be the pace and sequencing of reforms. While there is widespread support for the elimination of bureaucratic controls over domestic producers, there are differences on such issues as the speed at which protection to domestic industry should be reduced, the extent to which domestic industry...

...The Big Idea The Age of Customer Capitalism For three decades, executives have made maximizing shareholder value their top priority. But evidence suggests that shareholders actually do better when firms put the customer first. by Roger Martin 58 Harvard Business Review January–February 2010 HBR.ORG Roger Martin (martin@ rotman.utoronto.ca) is the dean of the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto. M ILLUSTRATION: GEORGE BATES odern capitalism can be broken down into two major eras. The first, managerial capitalism, began in 1932 and was defined by the then radical notion that firms ought to have professional management. The second, shareholder value capitalism, began in 1976. Its governing premise is that the purpose of every corporation should be to maximize shareholders’ wealth. If firms pursue this goal, the thinking goes, both shareholders and society will benefit. This is a tragically flawed premise, and it is time we abandoned it and made the shift to a third era: customer-driven capitalism. January–February 2010 Harvard Business Review 59 THE BIG IDEA THE AGE OF CUSTOMER CAPITALISM TWO MILESTONES IN MANAGEMENT In 1932, Adolf A. Berle (above) and Gardiner C. Means published their treatise The Modern Corporation and Private Property, endorsing the revolutionary idea that owners ought to turn companies over to professional managers. After Michael C.
