HR ASSIGNMENT 3HRC

The HR department officials in most organizations perform as they should. In most cases, they also focus on achieving the right things. Human Resource departments focus organizing, controlling, and hiring employees in organizations. When organizations apply HR practices, the results are great client satisfaction, a good net margin, and reduced sickness absence (Richard and Johnson, 2001). Vermeeren et al. (2014) posit that there is a great relationship between performance and HRM. Most organizations use the human resource department to ensure that operations run smoothly.

Even though not everyone on the team completed their tasks by the due date time, but we all managed to complete this week assignment. Keyna did not to complete her assigned tasks on time because she did not receive all the materials she needed to complete her tasks.

As the clock strikes 6PM panic invades my mind. This panic is not due to the fact that I must complete an assignment on time because I already finished today’s assignments, but because I just realized that another day will cease to exist without me reading a Stephen King novel, playing video games, watching a movie, or going for a run to take in the sweet spring scented air. Although I am a very organized person, with my calendar and highly detailed to do lists, I still can’t seem to find a way to make my day fit everything I want to do. After writing and editing two sentences it is 6:15PM and I know not much time has passed but the highly predictable anxiety starts to set in every time I look to the clock on my left.

Daily Manger’s meetings are held at Toyota Boshoku Tennessee, and monthly communication meetings are held with all plant employees. In addition, RoundTable meetings are also a monthly activity. RoundTable meetings bring a diverse group together for an hour to discuss any concerns within the plant. By providing the hourly discussion, all team members receive the satisfaction of knowing that their opinion has meaning. A good communication strategy is essential for any organization to operate in a positive manner (Clemmer, n.d.).

| Explain how different organisational structures and management roles can impact on the HR Function (AC: 1.3)

I have been asked to provide a report that supports the retention of the HR function within our organisation. In this report I will explain how Human Resource activities support the organisations strategy and how HR professionals support line managers and their staff.

Further to the recent organisation re-structure forecasting the closure of the HR department, the following report has been created to highlight the importance of the HR activities and the support it offers within the organisation.

I will explain, with related examples, why HR professionals are required to manage themselves, groups and teams, manage upwards and across the

Organisations must organise a structure so that their objectives can be achieved. A company will have different departments and procedures with each one having a special function. All of these organised departments and procedures are linked so the company can run efficiently. For many organisation this can be very complex has they will have offices in international countries around the world.

The current function of HR can be defined as supporting “the delivery of the organisation’s strategy and objectives through the effective management of people and performance” (Taylor & Woodhams, 2012; 22). This definition is furthered by a CIPD survey (2007; 2-3), which indicated that the key functions of HR are: recruiting and retaining staff, progressing performance management to maximise the value of employees and increasing employee engagement.

Human Resource Management, was developed in the late 90’s, by R. Wayne Mondy and Judy Bandy Mondy. It was designed to help new students become familiar with human resource management, providing both realistic and practical scenarios of HR’s strategic role in planning and operating organizations. Through various examples from the research of company material, it demonstrates that all managers are necessarily involved with the human resources part of business, which is

Human Resource is a function which is essential in every organization, but also one which is most criticised. The debate whether HR is for the benefit of the employees or the organization has been one of the most contentious issues in management. The fact is that, the purpose of HR function is to enable the organization to achieve its strategic goals by providing it with the best possible talent. Therefore, before evaluating whether HR is on the side of employee or management, one must understand that HR is part of the organization and exists for the benefit of the organization. However, this does not necessarily mean that HR has to be against the interest of employees.

Their various HRM practices allow them to attract and retain the best staff and deliver on their service mandate. At a functional level they have implemented HRM practices to align the leadership, skills, induction and socialisation, training, development, rewards and recognition, remuneration, career progression as well as transformation with the strategy of the company.
