Human Resource plays a key role in designing the performance management framework. Human Resource role is manifold and each of these roles well played can be highly beneficial to the organization. However, as it is now, the people in the department do not seem up to par. In the article, "Why We Hate HR," written by Keith H. Hammond, the author portrayed a negative stance on the department. He listed four reasons describing what is wrong with the Human Resource people. Based on those four main criticisms, three individual interviews were conducted to see either Hammond’s point of view is agreeable or not. The interviewees also have given their personal experiences and opinions when comparing their

Lehigh Hanson is the company I chose as my business case. Lehigh Hanson has been supplying cement, aggregates, ready-mixed concrete, asphalt, and other building materials throughout the United States, Canada, and Germany. The high demands on performance and being open minded is what HR and management hold at high demands and they lead by example. To transition the Human Resource department in becoming an innovative and driving force of the organizations to become a driving force of the 21st century, the HR department needs some assistance. This paper covers the human resource management strategy

Strategy is defined as: a way of doing something, or a game plan or plan of action. As a HR manager you must possess the ability to look at things from a strategic approach (Anthony, Kacmar, & Perrewe', 2010). Over the years the whole approach to HR has changed drastically and continues to change. This approach requires an employer to see human beings as a resource to the organization. The development of people is now the most important asset of improving the performance of an organization; this is accomplished through improving designs and methods of Human Resource Management.

1a. Rio Tinto is a business that operates in many countries. When there was a global recession, Rio Tinto had to fire some of its employees so they could stay in business. Rio Tinto’s HR used their strategic role to revamp their HR, the HR addressed the needs of the company, and how human capital fits into these needs of the company (Mathis, Jackson, & Valentine, 2014, p. 16). Rio Tinto’s HR used a different approach then they would have used previously. Previously, the company used an approach that would analyze every business unit, then managers and HR directors would approach the reduction in force differently. The company adopted a coordinated approach to lay off its employees globally. This approach was an efficient and ethical way to downsize their workforce. The HR department recognized key leaders and managers in the organization and moved them internally, so they would be able to retain them. These leaders

At the end of 2012, Costco was a successful business, but there are some issues that they would need to deal with. These issues mainly arise from their previous successful ventures as a warehouse wholesale company. The first issue is that Costco has competitors that can actually be and are a threat to their success. Competition allows a company to improve itself and prove its prowess to its customers. However, when a competitor is able to provide the service at a much reduced cost, problems will arise. As for the second issue, it seems that Costco’s efforts to become an international company are moving slowly. They have not reached a point where their US and Canadian warehouses provide a backbone for their finances. Costco’s third issue is that their finances are too reliant on acquiring new members and not on selling their products. If they cannot keep acquiring new members at a steady rate, their financial infrastructure could suffer.

Whether an organization consists of five or 25,000 employees, human resources management is vital to the success of the organization. HR is important to all managers because it provides managers with the resources – the employees – necessary to produce the work for the managers and the organization. Beyond this role, HR is capable of becoming a strong strategic partner when it comes to “establishing the overall direction and objectives of key areas of human resource management in order to ensure that they not only are consistent with but also support the achievement of business goals.” (Massey, 1994, p. 27)

3.The HRM strategy that was being pursued by the management was in alignment with the philosophies of its parent company HMCL. The HMCL considered itself a unique organization, having adopted some distinctive employment and production practices. There were two fundamental beliefs HMSI’s philosophy advocated: respect for individual differences, and the “three Joys”. Respect for the individual stemmed from initiative, equality, and trust. This translated into independence of spirit and freedom, equality and mutual trust of human beings who worked or came into contact with the company. The three joys; buying, selling, and manufacturing, even translated into the key mission: the company had imbibed the “joy of creating”
