The concept on the nature, scope and role of human resource management

Our group interviewed one of the HR personnel of the NCCC. But I supported my answers on the other websites that related to the topics and answers of MS. HR personnel of NCCC.

Nature- Human Resource Management is a process of bringing people and organizations together so that the goals of each are met. The various features of HRM include:
• It is pervasive in nature as it is present in all enterprises.
• Its focus is on results rather than on rules.
• It tries to help employees deve¬lop their potential fully.
• It encourages employees to give their best to the organization.
• It is all about people at work, both as individuals and groups.
• It tries to put people on assigned jobs in order to produce good results.
• It helps an organization meet its goals in the future by providing for competent and well-moti¬vated employees.
• It tries to build and maintain cordial relations between people working at various levels in the organization.
• It is a multi-disciplinary activity, utilizing knowledge and inputs drawn from psychology, econo¬mics, etc.

Scope- The scope of HRM is very wide:
1. Personnel aspect-This is concerned with manpower planning, recruitment, selection, placement, transfer, promotion, training and development, layoff and retrenchment, remuneration, incentives, productivity etc.
2. Welfare aspect-It deals with working conditions and amenities such as canteens, creches, rest and lunch rooms, housing, transport, medical assistance, education, health and safety, recreation facilities, etc.
3. Industrial relations aspect-This covers union-management relations, joint consultation, collective bargaining, grievance and disciplinary procedures, settlement of disputes, etc.

Role of Human Resource Management-
1. Human Capital Steward- Act as a guide and facilitator in partnership with employees with the aim of achieving the highest return possible on a company’s human capitals investments.
2. Knowledge facilitator- Facilitate both knowledge capital (held in explicit and implicit sources) and knowledge flows.
3. Relationship Builder- Manages relationships between individuals and groups both internal and external to the organization to enhance social capital across the total value chain.
4. Rapid Deployment Specialist- take responsibility for the development of flexible human capital resources with an emphasis on adaptability, tolerance, capacity to learn.

Do you agree with him/her?
For me, I agree with her because as HR personnel, since you are dealing with people, the above role, scope and nature of being HR personnel should present. But, the most important that I observed is that, the HR personnel should be approachable because the people in the organizations are going on you when they have some concerns.

Is his concept similar to that of the management of his organization?
Hmmmm…. As she said, yes. Because the organization as I observed is going well according to the function of what he/she handles. The NCCC is very well in implementing the role of each and everyone. But as the HR personnel said that the depart should conduct a seminars or activities to those freshly hired in the company because in her experienced, she said that the experience and time of working in the company is the only factor that develop her as HR personnel.
