...As we discussed in the class, I am very interested in human resource management. And from the cases, there are four methods of human resource management I was impressive and interested in. First, I really agree Ann Rhoades’s method of selecting staff. She emphasizes that she just looks for people without previous experience in relating field. Taking this way to identify employees who are the most likely to fit. I really like this ideal. Because people do not have the relevant experience, there is no stereotype in their job. Therefore, employees are better trained. In my previous experience, people who have relating work experienced are usually more arrogant than others. They always think they are right. It’s really bad in the teamwork. Second, I am interested in customized employment packages. Everyone concerns different things. Some people concern about current salary while some people worry about retirement. So why should every staff need to receive the same package? If employees receive the same package, it will not be able to stimulate them to work hard. Must let employees happy, let them know the company really care them, and they will be kind and work hard when they service for their customers. Third one is the new bonus sharing system, which new idea comes from Eva in the case of Organizational transformation in a Taiwanese company. The new bonus sharing system makes everybody know why they can have the bonus and make bonus information transparency. Under the new system...

Men, materials, machines, money and methods are the resources required for an organization. These resources are broadly classified into two categories, viz., animate and inanimate (human and physical) resources. Men, otherwise ...

...Human resource accounting (HRA) as an approach was originally defined as the process of identifying, measuring and communicating information about human resources in order to facilitate effective management within an organisation. It is an extension of the accounting principles of matching costs and revenues and of organising data to communicate relevant information in financial terms. The accounting of human resources can be seen as just as much a question of philosophy as of technique. This is one of the reasons behind the variety of approaches and is further underlined by the broad range of purposes for which accounting human resources can be used, e.g. as an information tool for internal and/or external use (employees, customers, investors, etc.), and as a decision-making tool for human resource management (investments in human resources as well as personnel management in general). Historical cost approach This was the first attempt towards employee valuation made by R. G. Barry Corporation of Columbus, Ohio in the year 1967. This method measures the organization’s investment in employees using the five parameters: recruiting, acquisition; formal training and familiarization; informal training, Informal familiarization; experience; and development. The costs were amortized over the expected working lives of individuals and unamortized costs (for example, when an individual left the firm) were written off. [edit] Limitations * The valuation method is based on...

Preface This book is not just one of the many introductions to Human Resource Management that are published, year after year, for use in HRM classes. Authors of those introductions face many challenges, such as the need to produce something that is both theoretically sound and practically valuable, or to find a way to integrate discussions on a variety of topics into one comprehensible teaching tool. The author of this book took up those challenges by, on the one hand, closely following the conventions that HRM scholars all over the world adhere to with regards to the demarcation...

...TEGA INDUSTRIES LTD. Human Resource Management Performance Management – Appraisal System Parthapratim Chakraborty 11/1/2011 PART – 1 : Performance Appraisal System Introduction : Performance Appraisal is an objective system to judge the ability of an individual employee to perform his tasks. A good performance appraisal system should focus on the individual and his development, besides helping him to achieve the desired performance. This means that while the results are important the organization should also examine and prepare its human capital to achieve this result. This holds true even for new inductees. There is a strong linkage between induction, training and appraisal. In a large number of firms worldwide, a new recruit is expected to discuss his schedule of work in achieving his induction objective. This schedule of work becomes a part of his job for the next few months. Objectives of Appraisal Almost all organizations practice performance appraisal in one form or another to achieve certain objectives. These objectives may vary from organization to organization or even within the same organization from time to time. It has been found that there are two primary objectives behind the use of this methodology. One is to use it as an evaluation system and second, to use it as a feedback system. The aim of the evaluation system is to identify the performance gap. This means that it helps determine the gap between the actual performance of the employee and that...

...GSBS6040 Human Resource Management PBL Assessment 2a. Ethical Dilemma: The Padding That Hurt [pic] Sue Davenport, Human Resources Director stared out of her office window and contemplated her future. Her thoughts were on her position in the company and her need to support her family of four children. As a sole parent she feels her options are limited. Her dilemma began just a few weeks ago. She had learned from Robert Drew, the internal auditor, that an employee had reported to him possible expense account abuses by one of the company’s most senior managers. Robert said that this employee had accompanied Dan Murphy, a senior vice-president, on many business trips. The employee said Murphy had some curious habits: When getting out of a taxi, he would ask for extra blank receipts, and in restaurants, he would often do the same. Robert had followed up this tip. He examined Murphy’s travel file and found numerous irregularities: multiple receipts from the same taxi companies for the same days, extremely expensive meals, and duplicate meal receipts for the same days and other suspicious charges for several hundred dollars each billed to an unknown company. Robert has estimated he could safely document a minimum of $30,000 worth of phony charges over the last three years. When Robert told Sue Davenport what he had found, she said: “The guy makes over half a million a year in salary and yet he evidently is hitting us for at least $10,000 a year in completely fake...

...of employees work, this sector is considered the main driver of Malaysia’s economy. The Trade Union Movement The relationship between employers and employees in Malaysia is regulated by a number of laws which were introduced prior to independence (1957) and in the first decade immediately thereafter. The colonial economy prior to World War II (1939-45) was based on tin mining and rubber plantations. The need for labour in these two industries changed the human landscape of Malaysia (Malaya as it then was) for ever. The colonial government either allowed or actively encouraged the importation of labour from China and India, thus creating the multi-racial society which is Malaysia today. The wages of this growing group of employees were low and working conditions were mostly abysmal. Jomo and Todd explained the lack of governmental interference to improve the lot of workers by saying, ‘As a major employer 1 Maimunah Aminuddin (m_aminuddin@hotmail.com) taught industrial relations, employment law and human resource management for 34 years in Universiti Teknologi MARA, Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia.
