employment applications. The ASPs host and manage the services
for the employer from their own remote computers
Web portals Employers use these, for instance, to enable employees to sign up
for and manage their own benefits packages and to update their
personal information
Streaming desktop video Used, for instance, to facilitate distance learning and training or to
provide corporate information to employees quickly and
inexpensively
Internet- and network-
monitoring software
Used to track employees’ Internet and e-mail activities or to monitor
their performance
Electronic signatures Legally valid e-signatures that employers use to more expeditiously
obtain signatures for applications and record keeping
Electronic bill presentment
and payment
Used, for instance, to eliminate paper checks and to facilitate
payments to employees and suppliers
Data warehouses and
computerized analytical
programs
Help HR managers monitor their HR systems. For example, they
make it easier to assess things like cost per hire, and to compare
current employees’ skills with the firm’s projected strategic needs

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. The purpose of this chapter is to explain what human resource management is, and why it’s important to all managers. We’ll see that HRM activities such as hiring, training, appraising, compensating, and developing employees are part of every manager’s job. And we’ll see that HRM is also a separate function, usually with its own human resource or “HR” manager. The main topics we’ll cover include the meaning of human resource management; why HRM is important to all managers; global and competitive trends; HRM trends; and the plan of this book. The framework (which introduces each chapter) makes this point: That to formulate and apply HR practices like testing and training you should understand the strategic and legal context in which you’re managing.
  2. 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.
  3. Most experts agree that managing involves five functions: planning, organizing, staffing, leading, and controlling. In total, these functions represent the management process.
  4. HRM involves several processes. The topics we’ll discuss will provide you with concepts and techniques needed to perform the “people” or personnel aspects of your job as a manager.
  5. Managers are involved daily with many of the personnel aspects of HRM in accomplishing the organization’s goals, and managing the efforts of the organization’s people.
  6. Why are the concepts and techniques of HRM important to all managers? Perhaps it’s easier to answer this by listing some of the personnel mistakes you don’t want to make while managing. Carefully studying this book will help you avoid mistakes like these.
  7. Hiring the right people for the right jobs and motivating, appraising, and developing them will likely get the results you are seeking. Remember that success comes through people.
  8. Line managers manage operational functions that are crucial for the company’s survival. Staff managers run departments that are advisory or supportive, like purchasing, HRM, and quality control. Human resource managers are usually staff managers. They assist and advise line managers with recruiting, hiring, and compensation. However, line managers still have human resource duties.
  9. In small organizations, line managers carry out many personnel duties unassisted. As the organization grows, the need arises for the specialized assistance, knowledge, and advice of a human resource department.
  10. An HR manager directs the activities of the people in the HR department, coordinates organizational-wide personnel activities and provides HRM assistance and advice to line managers.
  11. The size of the human resource department reflects the size of the employer. For a very large employer, an organization chart like the one in Figure 1-1 would be typical, containing a full complement of specialists for each HR function.
  12. The HR team for a small firm may contain just five or six (or fewer) staff, and have an organization similar to that in Figure 1-2. There is generally about one human resource employee per 100 company employees.
  13. •Recruiters search for qualified job applicants. •Equal employment opportunity (EEO) coordinators investigate and resolve EEO grievances; examine organizational practices for potential violations; and compile and submit EEO reports. •Job analysts collect and examine information about jobs to prepare job descriptions. •Compensation managers develop compensation plans and handle the employee benefits program. •Training specialists plan, organize, and direct training activities. •Labor relations specialists advise management on all aspects of union–management relations.
  14. Employers are experimenting with offering HR services in new ways. For example, some employers organize their HR services around four groups: transactional, corporate, embedded, and centers of expertise.
  15. Some trends shaping human resource management practices include globalization, technology, deregulation, debt or “leverage,” changes in demographics and the nature of work, and economic challenges.
  16. Trends shaping HRM are summarized in Figure 1-4.
  17. Figure 1-5 illustrates that in the next few years, many employers plan to offshore even highly skilled jobs such as sales managers, general managers—and HR managers.
  18. Technology has also had a huge impact on how people work, and on the skills and training today’s workers need. Jobs are becoming more high tech, less-labor intensive, and require more knowledge and higher skill levels (human capital).
  19. Table 1-1, from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, shows how quickly the U.S. workforce is becoming older and more multi-ethnic.
  20. Demographic trends are making finding, hiring, and supervising employees more challenging.
  21. In Figure 1-6, the gross national product (GNP)—a measure of the United States of America’s total output—boomed between 2001 and 2007.
  22. Figure 1-7 shows that home prices leaped as much as 20% per year between 2001 and 2007.
  23. Trends like these translate into changes in HRM practices, and in what employers expect from their human resource managers.
  24. HR managers can play big roles in strategic planning and management by helping the top managers in devising functional and departmental plans that support the organization’s overall strategic plan, and then assisting in execution of the plans.
  25. Table 1-2 lists some important ways employers use technology to support their HRM activities.
  26. Figure 1-8 summarizes how human capital—the employees’ knowledge, skills, and experiences—can have a big effect on important organizational outcomes, such as customer satisfaction and profitability.
  27. A high-performance work system is a set of HRM policies and practices that together produce superior employee performance.
  28. Evidence-based HRM is the deliberate use of the best-available evidence in making decisions about the human resource management practices you are focusing on.
  29. Every line manager or human resource manager needs to keep in mind the ethical implications of his or her employee-related decisions.
  30. As the human resource manager’s job becomes more demanding, HRM is becoming more professionalized. The Society for Human Resource Management’s (SHRM) HR professional certification exams test the HR professional’s knowledge of all aspects of HRM.
  31. In this book, we’ll use several themes and features to emphasize particularly important issues, and to provide continuity from chapter to chapter.
  32. In practice, don’t think of each of this book’s 18 chapters and topics as being unrelated to the others. Each topic interacts with and affects the others, and all should align with the employer’s strategic plan. Figure 1-10 summarizes this idea.
