Human resource departments today have a more distinct, calculated position within organizations, and human resource strategy influences the bottom line. “One of the challenges for HR leaders is convincing executive leadership teams that human capital is one of the most important resources in which the company can invest” (Mayhew, 2014, p.). Subsequently, “this return on investment is an essential part of the argument for including HR as part of an overall business strategy” (Mayhew, 2014, p.). Human resource departments utilize the information given to them from company executives and leaders, coupled with their respective expertise on all things personnel, and they plan and implement staffing concerns for the betterment of the organization. From preparing job analysis, to comparing inventory and forecasting, it is the responsibility of human resources to consider the objectives of an organization and fulfill those goals while operating the specific planning relative to HR.

There are many factors that can determine the success of any organisation. It is not only limited to the physical assets such as machinery and technology, however it is the people working within the organisation bringing new ideas and special skills that can make a difference. This essay will investigate the influence of Human Resource Management (HRM) on the wider organisational strategy. A short description of HRM will be followed by a summary of its primary roles. Also, this paper will then critically assess these roles using qualitative examples in an attempt to determine the degree to which HRM really helps or hinders the organisation in achieving its strategic goals.
SCoR states that 'everyone has the right to be treated with dignity and respect at work' (p1, 2009). Rob also undermines the student radiographer by remarking on her image quality. SCoR (2009) suggests that bullying can sometimes take place because the bully lacks confidence or feels insecure (p10) and this may partly explain Rob's behaviour, as he is being bullied by Asha. Meena fails to report the bullying to anyone, however SCoR suggests that members must support each other at work where bullying is concerned and 'stand together' (p1, 2009). Bullying in the workplace can lead to staff absence, a lack of desire to go to work, seeking the help of a doctor, and searching for other places of employment (NHS, 2006). SCoR (2009) also suggests that there are more severe consequences in the form of behavioural effects such as smoking or drinking excessively; physical effects like insomnia and headaches; and emotional effects which include anxiety and depression. Employers have a duty to investigate claims of bullying and where necessary take measures to stop it from continuing (Directgov, n.d.).
