Introduction
Human resource management (HRM) is a strategic and coherent approach to the management of an organisation’s most valued assets – the people working there, who individually and collectively contribute to the achievement of its objectives. I have been asked to provide further research, analysis and HRM recommendations of the Veolia Group, which is an environmental company. They provide three specific business activities that are, water management, waste management and energy services. Throughout this report I will be showing theories of management, issues within HR and recommendations of actions that should be taken to efficiently manage challenges.
History and Growth of HRM
Veolia Environment was founded at the start of the new industrial era along with the urban development stage. They have consistently been changing to adapt with social, cultural and political modifications over the past 155 years, until the present day where their new goal is to stay one step ahead of the environment around us. As a company they have been expanding since December 4th 1853, this is when Compagnie Generale des Eaux (CGE) was created to supply water to French towns and cities. 1880 is where the company went international, they had the authorization to distribute and produce in Venice and within the next four years they also conquered Istanbul, Porto and they were able to extend its skills to wastewater treatment in Reims
