Human resource is an appellation used in referring to the workforce of an organization or company. Human resource management is involved in the act of putting together employees in an organized manner to assure the objectives of the organization are achieved in a competent and experienced manner. Human resources are the most important services of any organization since they are the catalysts of non-human resources and the medium for developing competitive advantages and sounds of creativity.

One major aspect that HR has a strong presence in at PharMerica is Compensation and benefits. PharMerica concentrates a large portion of its overall assets as well as the HR department’s resources to compensation and benefits because of how massive of an expense the two components are to the organization.

Human Resource managers, and other key personnel, now have full access to the HRIS system. They will spend a quick week in their own training, acclimating themselves with the quirks of the system and becoming comfortable with common tasks. After this week has passed then a full, company wide training will take place, with the goal of accomplishing two tasks. First, to inform employees of the new HRIS system and some of it’s key features. Second, to set expectations among employees of what their responsibility and interaction with the new system will consist of. A brief mention of some of the high level

George Brenner is one of the 6 regional managers and Angela MacFee is a store manager in a mall located in Dartmouth. One of MacFee’s loyal customers have purchased 9 packages of Diet Magic on September 2011 however wanted to return them on May 2012. Subsequently, MacFee reacted hastily and defensively, arguing with Johnston in spite of Pharmed First Inc. return policy (Figure 1).

He proposed that the company gives Johnston a $500 voucher and that MacFee apologizes. However, MacFee remained inflexible as she also challenged Brenner’s authority.

This paper intends to define, firstly, the Human Resource management, functions and then, broadly, the System in terms of General System Theory. Strategic Human Resource Management has been defined in various ways and by various scholars. Following are the most precise definitions: “Designing and implementing a set of internally consistent policies and practices that ensure a firm’s human capital (employees’ collective knowledge, skills and abilities) contributes to the achievement of its business objectives” (Huselid, Jackson, Schuler and Randoll, 1997: 171) “It is the pattern of planned human resource deployments and activities intended to enable a firm to achieve its goals” (Wright, 1998: 187).
