Learners will use their knowledge of relevant human resources management theory and link it with current human resource management practices in organisations. Unit introduction Human resource management is a dynamic activity in any organisation as it takes place against a changing economic, technical, legal and social background. It is important for learners to appreciate that effective human resource management means getting the best out of the people who work for an organisation in order to ensure the organisation fulfils its purposes, whether it is a football club winning the premiership, or a hospital increasing the success rates for medical operations. Many organisations say that their employees are their most valuable resource because of their skills, knowledge and attitudes. As labour is both an expensive and valuable resource, it is important to ensure it is planned and that the best value is obtained from employees contributions. Human resource managers have to plan their human resource requirements against a background of internal and external factors which are dynamic and constantly changing. The first part of this unit introduces learners to the factors that influence human resource ...

...P1 For this assignment I am going to write about the employment trends, progression routes on three different career choices. I am also going to write about why these choices would sustain a long term career for me. The three career choices that I have chosen are Accounting, Marketing and Human Resources (HR). Accounting My first career choice that I am going to write about is accounting. The employment trends for accounting according to one of the world’s leading recruitment agency, the demand for an accountant has been increasing each year. In London the number of jobs for an accountant has increased by 8% and in the Midlands 7%. They have used the data that they sourced from the ‘job index provides real evidence of the expansion of accountancy and finance market.’ (Robert Walter). On the prospect4u website they have a table that shows the progression routes for an accounting career. It starts at either a ‘trainee accountant or an accountant/payroll apprentice’ they then progress to an accountant, then to an accountants manager and finally a financial controller (prospect4u). I think that this would sustain a long term career for me as my strengths are in Maths and Ict. Whereas some people would argue that Excel and numbers are long and tedious I think that they are nice to work with and I already have experience with working in Microsoft office Excel. ‘The average salary for an ACCA trainee is currently around £19,300 per annum, while an ACCA part-qualified can expect...

...ThomasWeek1 1. Why do you think it is important for HR to be a strategic partner to the business? Within a business the Human Resource department is a strategic partner, also there will be appropriate utilization for the human resources in any company, in order to direct the business to achieve it appropriate goals. Utilizing this can result into an asset, or advantage for all individuals involved. In my opinion it is important for HR to be a strategic partner for a business because HR partners help Motivate, and help retain worthy hard working employees for the company. This is achieved by the right Training curriculums in order to aid in enhancing employee’s skills set or provide new skills that are necessary to help improve the company’s capability and functionality at that given time. Also it help’s in architecting incentive plans for employees in order to motivate them and somewhat modify in working environment. HR is strategic partners due to the fact that there are boundaries between the employees and employers. Guidance is given between the two entities in respect to dealing with matters in an appropriate matter according to company standards or rules. They also participate incorporating the company beliefs on the importance of the corporation’s plans in its entirety. HR instilling in every individual the corporation’s policies and procedures throughout and making sure that it is being followed to its entirety. In all HR is a great strategic...

...a. (P1.) Describe the internal and external factors that need to be considered when the college is planning the human resources requirements for its needs. The objectives of HR Planning is to forecast future requirements for HR, to ensure the best use of the existing HR,to provide control measures for any necessary requirements and to assess the downsizing. There are plenty of internal and external factors that HR need to consider when the college is planning the human resources requirements for its needs. One of the external factors is available labour as they have to maintain adequate staff levels at the college, as the college is an educational environment staff are a big factor. The available labour is a very big external factor as the availability to recruit qualified candidates can be seen as a problem if the available labour levels are low therefore the college cannot employ candidates up to the college’s standards. They may have to employ candidates with highly specialized skills and because of this the college may have to look in other areas not only of the city but in some cases the country, this links into the location of the college. As this is not internal recruiting it can cost a high amount of money. Another external factor of HR is the government regulations and policies. The regulations can influence the way the college goes about training, rewarding, recruiting etc. If any of this is done wrong and not following the government policies the college could...
