Introduction
Edwin Flippo (1979) defines HRM as “planning, organizing, directing, controlling of procurement, development, compensation, integration, maintenance and separation of human resources to the end that individual, organizational and social objectives are achieved.” Quality HRM considers selection, better rewards, planning and appraisal as leading to effectiveness (Beardwell et al, 2004). The Human Resource Department’s main objective is to bring out the best in their employees and thus contribute to the success of the Company. Human Resource Management is increasingly considered a contemporary development that continues to reshape employment relationships (Beardwell, Holden, and Claydon, 2004). The purpose of writing this report is to study the Human Resource functions and activities in an organization. Therefore, this report introduces the organization initially. Next, the Human Resource Management activities in this organization will be explained. Subsequently, this report will focus on one particular Human Resource issue i.e. Induction and discuss how this aspect could be improved.
