In the end, the book is intended to increase our understanding of the ethical responsibilities, actions, issues and experiences that arise both within HRM and in HRM’s interactions with individuals and organizations.

Download or read book The Workforce Scorecard written by Mark A. Huselid and published by Harvard Business Review Press. This book was released on 2005-03-15 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a marketplace fueled by intangible assets, anything less than optimal workforce success can threaten a firm's survival. Yet, in most organizations, employee performance is both poorly managed and underutilized. The Workforce Scorecard argues that current management and human resources practices hinder employees' ability to contribute to strategic goals. To maximize the power of their workforce, organizations must meet three challenges: view their workforce in terms of contribution rather than cost; replace benchmarking metrics with measures that differentiate levels of strategic impact; and make line managers and HR professionals jointly responsible for executing workforce initiatives. Building on the proven model outlined in their best-selling book The HR Scorecard, Mark Huselid, Brian Becker, and co-author Richard Beatty show how to create a Workforce Scorecard that identifies and measures the behaviors, competencies, mind-set, and culture required for workforce success and reveals how each dimension impacts the bottom line. Practical and timely, The Workforce Scorecard offers crucial lessons for leveraging human capital to achieve strategic success.

Download or read book Human Resource Planning written by David M. Schweiger and published by Springer-Verlag. This book was released on 2013-03-08 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to escalating pressures from domestic and global competitors, and changes in so cietal norms, laws, and the economy during the past decade, it has become clear to many executives that people are increasingly important to the success and survival of their companies, but also increasingly more complex to manage. Moreover, it is likely that the complexity will increase even further in the Nineties as global and regional econ omies continue to emerge. In Europe, entirely new political entities will contribute to complexity and pose difficult problems in a multi-ethnic society. While creating many challenges, these pressures are also creating excellent opportunities for human resource (HR) executives to make substantial contributions to their organiza tions. Whether such opportunities are realized, however, will depend upon how well these executives develop, refme, and leverage both their business and human resource management skills. This book, which is a collaborative effort on the part of the editors of the Human Re source Planning journal and Gabler Publishing, is intended for both line and HR ex ecutives interested in more effectively managing their employees. It is a compilation of selected cutting-edge articles published in the journal during the past five years. It is di vided into the following seven sections which represent important HR issues facing ex ecutives today (and in the near future): Section 1. The Human Resource Function in Transition Section 2. Strategic Human Resource Planning Section 3. Mergers and AcquiSitions Section 4. Performance Appraisal and Performance Management Section 5.

Download or read book Human Resource Planning written by Peter Reilly and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is designed to give readers an introduction to the principles of human resource planning (HRP) and the areas in which it can be used, including those facing today's managers. Chapter 1 outlines why some organizations no longer plan, describes the background of change and uncertainty that discouraged them, and defines HRP. Chapter 2 first discusses why, although facing some of the same pressures, other organizations continue to use HRP. The reasons discussed include planning for substantive reasons, i.e., to have a practical effect, and planning because of the process benefits. The second part of the chapter addresses where, how, and by whom HRP is carried out. Chapter 3 illustrates the uses of HRP. It contains selected examples pertinent to the problems that organizations are facing today and have always faced. Four issues are used to illustrate the sorts of uses to which HRP is put: determining staff numbers required at a new location; retaining highly skilled staff; managing an effective downsizing program; and determining where the next generation of managers will come from. Chapter 4 focuses on the process benefits of HRP, the value that comes from posing the questions more than attempting to answer them. It covers three broad areas in which asking the questions is seen as useful: thinking about the future, corporate control, and integrating actions. Chapter 5 looks toward the future of HRP. Contains 25 references. (YLB)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the role of human resources management (HRM) has changed from being reactive to proactive. In the contemporary business scenario, HRM plays a strategic role in an organisation's growth and sustainability and is linked with corporate planning, mergers and acquisitions, turnover and rightsizing. Over the years, HRM has asserted the importance of human assets in creating a dynamic and learning organisation to successfully compete in the globalise world. HRM is a process of bringing people and organisations together so that the goals of each other are met. Technological advances, global competition, demographic changes, information revolution and trends towards service society have changed the rules of the game significantly. In such a scenario, organisations with similar set of resources can gain competitive advantage over others only through effective and efficient management of human resources. Presently, HRM is no more an administrative function but a growth-oriented professional function. Human resources managers have to face a number of challenges for managing the modern knowledge-oriented organisations. The present book contains 17 well-researched papers which provide deep insights into various dimensions of HRM in the Indian context. Authored by academicians and practitioners in the field of HRM, these papers will provide valuable inputs to teachers, students and others interested in the subject.
