...An Interview with a Doctor - Medicine, medical supplies, and medical treatment are multi-billion dollar industries crucial to the wellbeing of the public.

...International Journal of Human Resource Management 9:1 February 1998 HRM strategies and labour turnover in the hotel industry: A comparative study of Australia and Singapore Angeline Cheng and Alan Brown Abstract This study explores the perceptions of HR managers on the strategic management of labour tumover in a selection of large hotels in Australia and Singapore, The main argument is that the effects of labour tumover can be mitigated with strategically managed human resources through the four key HR activities. The hotel industries in both Singapore and Australia revealed a comparable range of HR policies and practices being adopted, with an explicit recognition of the contribution an organization's human resources have on the bottom-line. There was a clear convergence towards minimizing tumover primarily through the recruitment, selection and induction processes. This was despite fundamental social, economic and labour differences between Singapore and Australia, Keywords Introduction In recent years, there has been widening recognition that human resource management (HRM) strategies impact on an organization's perfomiance and bottom-line results, contributing to overall effectiveness (Nankervis and Debrah, 1995). Particularly in the service industry, the effective utilization of human resources can give an organization its competitive edge (Schneider and Bowen, 1993). This has led to an increased interdependency of corporate strategy with human resource management (HRM)...

...The Best of Many Worlds: Human Resources in the Singapore Business Environment A Regional Research Report Prepared By Salman Khan, Carly Rae Jepsen, Psy and Anita Mui S P Jain School of Global Management Global BBA Program, Singapore April 3, 2012 Executive Summary Human Relations: The department or support systems responsible for personnel sourcing and hiring, applicant tracking, skills development and tracking, benefits administration and compliance with associated government regulations. (Entrepreneur.com) The human resources (HR) role is becoming increasingly important in the business world. Human resources includes the combination of traditionally administrative personnel functions with performance management, employee relations, and resource planning. The field draws upon concepts developed in industrial/organizational psychology. In the past, HR personnel did a lot of administrative work. This is changing with the global shift to service-based industries. As the role evolved, HR practitioners wanted to become business partners and actually engage more in the organization’s core business. At present, we see the function of HR going beyond being that of just a business partner to being at the forefront and, in some instances, heading business initiatives (Jones, 2012). We became interested in the field of HR for several reasons. One, it offers an attractive area of employment for business students. Also, it requires a good mix of interpersonal...

...Human Resource Research Paper Human Resource Management in a Call Center Instructor: Kathryn Taft Advanced Human Resources Management BADM 382 March 16th, 2005 Raymond Chow Executive Summary One of the growing yet toughest industries for human resource to manage is the call center. The call center industry has one of the highest turnover rates compared to other jobs due to its high level of stress and dullness. Retention starts with hiring the right person for the job. Human resource recruiters should look for applicants with these characteristics: self motivated, high tolerance for stress, positive attitude, good listening skills, good communication skills, ability to work as an individual and in a group, good problem solving skills, and enjoy helping customers. A good way to test out the applicants is to pre-screen telephone interviews to test out their phone skills. One of the most useful techniques that call centers use is the employee referral program. This program allows employees to recommend a friend, relative, or family member to the job and receive a cash prize if they pass the probation period. This technique tends to provide the new recruit with more realistic expectations and can provide a better cultural fit. Training and orientation is also important in human resource management in a call center. Training should include lots of role-play so employees can get comfortable talking to customers over the phone, learn to turn negative thoughts into positive ones...
