...1. How can I benefit from HRM? HRM is a central element of any successful business, as it maintains the most valuable investment a business makes: it's people. Employee satisfaction and compensation ensures companies can capture the highest potential efficiency in operations from their employees, and maintaining the appropriate level of compensation and benefits is largely where this is derived. Both employer and employees can benefit from HRM. As an employer I can benefit from HRM by giving my employees benefits so they can work harder and earn more for the company. Also giving my employees benefits will help me to retain good employees and so that I would not spend money and time on searching for another one. On the other hand, as an employer I can benefit from HRM in several ways. As an employee by giving me HRM benefits I will be motivated to work more and be excited to come to work and it will make me more productive. These benefits can go some way in meeting employee's psychological needs and can be financial or non financial, long term or short term, and may include the following: * Remunerative wage structure which motivates me as employee to contribute my maximum worth to the enterprise; * Bonus to the employees either on festive occasions or as a reward to the employee for their high performance; * Social security benefits for employee welfare in the form of provident fund, gratuity, medical facilities, compensations ad insurance policies; ...

...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 is to obtain a Certified Employee Benefits Specialist designation. This goal will be achieved by...

...reflection on what Human Resource Management is, what it is used for, and what are the implications of HRM for running a business. The best thing about studying Human Resource Management was learning just how applicable and useful this course is in a business aspect and in the real world. There really was not much time spent on theory or history. It was all about learning laws, different benefits and how it works. I learned how to think systematically and strategically about aspects of managing the organization's human assets and what really needs to be done to implement these policies to achieve competitive advantage through people. The intent of this course, for me, imparts knowledge as well as stimulates discussion about the values and beliefs that stand in the way of implementing this knowledge. Reflections This class not only teaches everything that I need to know about Human Resource Management in the business world but it teaches everything I will have to watch out for in my future both personal and professional endeavors. Having been employed in the business industry all of my adult life, and having spent the last dozen or more supporting high-level executives of a high-tech company, quite a bit of the information I was reading and learning was even familiar to this business, very interesting and hit right at home. Now, I have to mention the course book, which is an excellent book in learning all about Human Resource Management. It is very easy to read and follow...

...time. Others, such as me, may argue that it is an accomplishment and the benefits from acquiring a degree are worth the efforts and hard work. With the current national unemployment rate at 9.7% (US Department of Labor, Feb 2010) and steadily rising, it seems improbable that finding that “ideal” job is likely. During these tough economic times, I find myself with a bachelor’s degree at a low paying job with a child to take care of. It is because of this situation that I have chosen to pursue a Master’s of Business Administration (MBA) degree with an emphasis in Accounting; receiving higher education could be the answer to my problem. According to the job outlook by education 2006-16 (Occupational Outlook Quarterly), increased earnings and lower rates of unemployment are trends associated with additional levels of education (Liming & Wolf, 2008). After taking the Jungian 16-Type Personality Self-Assessment test, scoring ISTJ, I found that my results support my decision to pursue my MBA with an emphasis in Accounting. A person scoring ISTJ are found to be organized, compulsive, private, trustworthy, and practical people. Their possible career choices are office manager, accountant, business manager, tax agent, and public servant (Pearson Prentice Hall, 2007). I recognize that I possess these characteristics in regard to my professional and personal lifestyle. I will argue that pursuing and obtaining an MBA will provide many benefits and allow me to achieve both personal...

...Effective Human Resources Management Name BUS303: Human Resources Management Instructor Date . Effective Human Resource Management In this paper I will describe some attributes of an effective human resource management strategy and how to communicate that strategy. How will the strategy unfold? Will I lead by setting a good example? Will I have to make decisions that are not very popular with the staff and employees? If I am not the one in charge, will I set an example of leadership by following to the best of my ability? Will my leadership style be respected? Will I make decisions that reflect the best interest of the employees, peers, those appointed over me, and the customers? All this will be a challenge and test how I am seen as a leader. These questions will not be answered in the next few pages. However, in the years of experience that will follow this class and the many leaders that I will try to emulate as my knowledge of human resources unfolds. I want to be an effective leader, I read in our text; the experience and leadership style of the operating manager or leader directly affect human resource management activities because many, if not most, programs must be implemented at the work-unit level. Thus, the operating manager or leader is a crucial link in the human resource management function. Leaders must orchestrate the distinctive skills, experiences, personalities, and motives of individuals. Leaders also must facilitate the interactions that...

The HRM staff must consider many things when creating a plan to reach organization goals; some of which include, benefits, compensation, staffing, leading, organizing, etc. Throughout this document we will discuss various topics that the HRM staff must take into consideration to increase productivity and the effectiveness of employees. I will also discuss how human resources affect me at my current place of employment and how an understanding of human resources will help me reach my future career goals.

I believe that the knowledge of Human Resource management has enhanced my knowledge and understanding of organizational management on a new level. The knowledge I have received will allow me to create and implement training material for new hires so they will have a better understanding of the HR role in the organization. My goal at the beginning of the BUS 303 class was to obtain a piece of “big picture.” I stated, “This course is a piece of the organization or “big picture” that I’m slowly putting together.” However, I now believe that the human resource function is much more than just a piece of a puzzle.
