Human Resource Management
Reflective Paper
In this paper I will discuss the primary actions and responsibilities of the Human Resource Management team, and the significant aspects that all come together for optimal functioning. I will address how my new found understanding of human resources will lead me to better relate to my own career path. I started this class without any knowledge of just how essential human resource management is, and now I have a new found respect for it. I will describe the multi-faceted aspects of human resource management and how it relates to the organization where I work. Human resource management (HRM) is the managing of human skills, knowledge and abilities and making sure they are used efficiently and on track with an organization 's goals. With the lagging economy, the importance of a strategic plan to meet the goals of the organization, is imperative. HRM implements the procedures for deciding how to allocate organizational resources to achieve these goals. HRM also incorporates strategies and policies to achieve the company’s goals while meeting the employees and the organization’s needs. According to (Yossef,C.2012) “Effective HRM practices have been shown to reduce turnover, increase productivity, and directly contribute to corporate financial performance (Huselid, 1995).” Recruiting and selection of employees is handled by the HRM team. Knowledge of methods to recruit helps me know what they are looking for and ways to make a good impression on an interview. I now know the importance of an employee performance evaluation and the HRM role in using the results to boost the organization’s strategic plan, so I can see the big picture at work. I see our organization’s HRM and the progress they have made, and their shortcomings as well after taking this course. At the Head Start agency where I work, HRM team implements policies and practices that directly support the major objectives and competitive strategy of the organization. We are a
