Human Resource Management Yesterday and Today blog -1





Human resource management is the process of acquiring, training, appraising, and compensating employees, and of attending to their labor relations, health and safety, and fairness concerns, (Gary Dessler, 2011) its directly involved with people in an organization.

HRM is also about strategic, integrated and coherent approach to the employment, development and well-being of the people working in organizations. ( Michael Amstrong ,2009)

Human resource management involves all management decisions and action that affect the nature of the relationship between the organization and its employees – its human resources. (Beer et al, 1984)

HRM comprises a set of policies designed to maximize organizational integration, employee commitment, flexibility and quality of work. (Guest, 1987) considering the above mentioned various definitions we can come to a concussion of HRM is so important to an organization to achieve its goals and plans, HR will also play a major role by utilizing resources towards the organizational achievements.

In nineteenth century “ Welfare Officer” is in charge of welfare of the employees of an organization, time to time the designations were changed due to the role of this Welfare officer was extended to  many development and other areas, finally in twentieth century HR department converted as  ‘ Human Capital dept “ which clearly shows the intakes of very high values to this department .

For much of the twentieth century, personnel/HR managers focused on day-to-day transactional types of activities. For example, in the earliest firms, they first took over hiring and firing from supervisors, ran the payroll department, and administered benefits plans. ( Garry Dessler 2011). But today the HRM is more concern on employee’s job role, efficiency, his carrier development and employees’ health, further the HRM invest in training and development of employees, OBT, in field and in-house trainings which will help the employee to work in a comfortable environment for a better expected outcome.
