The purpose of this reflective paper is to show my understanding along with what I have learned about HRM (human resources management) and the different way HRM impacts the success behind every business, along with the rules and regulations that go with it. Over the last five weeks I have learned quite a bit about HRM and will reflect on that throughout this paper. “Human resource management is the managing of human skills and talents to make sure they are used effectively and in alignment with an organizations goals.” (Youssef, 2012). I will be including the things I learned throughout the last five weeks in this

In most instances, younger adults don’t really worry too much about their benefits, they just want to know what they are going to get paid and how many days off they are going to get a year… Whereas, those who are older or have a family, are going to be more interested what type of insurance and retirement packages are available. I know with myself; I love money, but I also have four children I need to provide for, so I am equally interested in a company that offers a great benefits package. Competing in global markets entail many factors and centralization of its human resource practices is certainly vital to improve global competitiveness and empower employees for global assignments. To achieve success in global marketplace, the challenge of all businesses regardless of their size is to understand global corporate cultural differences and invest in human resources which includes selecting and retaining talented employee, training and development whilst encouraging employees to be innovative and creative.

There are many different types of leadership styles that are tailored to a firm's goals and resources and the leader must be able to determine which is best. Leadership can make or break an operation as is sets the operational structure and the amount of power each individual has. No matter what a manager must be able to effectively lead a team. They need to be able to motivate individuals and keep them on task so they may reach their goal within a timely manner. Without leadership an operation can fall to pieces if employees lack direction, are unaware of the goal, or lack the passion to execute their task properly.
Human resources management was defined as ‘a strategic, integrated and coherent approach to the employment, development and well-being of the people working in organizations’ by Boxall and Purcell (2003). Noon, 1992 (as cited in Armstrong, 2014 a, p6) drew ‘doubts of whether HRM was a map, a model or a theory. But it is evident that the original concept could be seen as a philosophy’. The human
Face to those options and wide resource, the managers in global enterprises have particular concern about the employees’ ability to disseminate knowledge and innovation throughout their global operations . The use of expatriates has seemed to be a logical choice for staffing, while the use of parent-country nations seems to be most appropriate in some specific situation . Some other global enterprises also prefer integrate the expatriates and local human resource. Nevertheless, each procedure has both advantage and disadvantage.
Attaining global competence when entering into international joint ventures, in order to be successful, is dependent on developing a strategic approach to Human Resource Management (HRM) that ties to Business Strategies and to the overall Organization’s mission, vision, goals and objectives. Through problem analysis of this case, this paper will show evidence that international initiatives must be tailored to implement HR policies and practices that will complement the workforce taking in consideration sensitivity issues internal and external to the home-country, cultural awareness and differences in standards such as education and diversity. It will be stated that remedies that would bring about organizational
The environment in which business competes is rapidly becoming globalized. More and more companies are entering international markets by exporting their products overseas, building plants in other countries, and entering into alliances with foreign companies. Global competition is driving changes in organizations throughout the world. Companies are attempting to gain a competitive advantage, which can be provided by international expansion. Deciding whether to enter foreign markets and whether to develop plants or other facilities in other countries is no simple matter and many human resource issues surface.

Human Resource Management (HRM) is the terminology used to illustrate formal systems devised for the management of people within an organization. It is the method of managing an organization or company that is directly related to the employees of that particular organization. The success of a business often rely heavily on the performance of managing human resource. Maximizing the desires and benefits of an organization and helping a business grow by rewarding employees to help motivate and push them in their performance is one of the main aim of HRM. By doing this, it will have a positive impact on both the company and it’s entire organization.
Human Resource Management is a key component in the maintenance and utilization of an effective workforce. HRM includes myriad activities ranging from recruitment to training and even the development of compensation systems. HRM has evolved significantly since the early 1900s. The need to deal with labor unions and the human relations movement has increased the need for competent human resource professionals (Dessler, 2002).
Over the years, human resource management has attracted a vast amount of interest over different disciplines due to the effect and contribution it had on the fundamental issues within the organisation (Singh, Darwish, Coster & Anderson 2012). Arthur states, HRM practices essentially contribute to the organisations competitive advantage and the achievement of organisational performance (Arthur 1997, cited in Singh, Darwish, Coster & Anderson 2012). This not only emphasizes on the significance of human capital in achieving organisational performance and attaining competitive advantage but also recognizes the importance of developing the best human resource competencies in order to compete in the global economy (Slavic, Berber & Lekovic, 2014)
With the increase in globalization, organizations need to alter their structure to support their operations and employees in different areas of the world. The human resources function is a critical component of any organization that needs to adapt to this increasingly complex environment (Cullen & Parboteeah, 2011). The human resources team must be able to provide for consistency across each of the business units in through systems and practices. This consistency is important in order to support the multinational corporation’s needs in recruitment, selection and development of the employees of the
Human resource management plays a critical role in one organization as a key function to maximize people’s performances within the organization’s goals and objectives. It consists of primarily tasks – recruitment, performance appraisal, training and development, and compensation (Baum, 2006). Within each task, HRM focuses on creating system, policies, and procedures to manage, promote and motivate people in order to ensure the business strategy can be achieved through HRM practices as one of the main keys.
