Human Resources (HR)

Human resources (HR) is the company department charged with finding, screening, recruiting and training job applicants, as well as administering employee-benefit programs. As companies reorganize to gain competitive edge, human resources plays a key role in helping companies deal with a fast-changing environment and the greater demand for quality employees.

A human resources department is an essential, if not critical, component of any business regardless of the organization’s size. It is primarily focused on maximizing employee productivity and protecting the company from any issues that may arise from the workforce. HR responsibilities include compensation and benefits, recruitment, firing and keeping up to date with any laws that may affect the company and its employees.

John R. Commons, a pioneering economist, first coined the term “human resource” in his book «The Distribution of Wealth,» which was published in 1893. However, it was not until the 19th century when the term was developed to address misunderstandings between employees and their employers.

Research conducted by The Conference Board has found six key people-related activities that human resources must effectively do to add value to a company. These are:

1. Effectively managing and utilizing people.
2. Tying performance appraisal and compensation to competencies.
3. Developing competencies that enhance individual and organizational performance.
4. Increasing the innovation, creativity and flexibility necessary to enhance competitiveness.
5. Applying new approaches to work process design, succession planning, career development and interorganizational mobility.
6. Managing the implementation and integration of technology through improved staffing, training and communication with employees.

HR departments are expected to perform human resource management (HRM) strategies. HRM is a strategic and comprehensive approach to managing employees and the organizational culture and environment. It focuses on the recruitment, management and general direction of the people who work in an organization.

Человеческие ресурсы (HR)

Человеческие ресурсы (HR) — это отдел компании, отвечающий за поиск, отбор, набор и обучение кандидатов на работу, а также за администрирование программ льгот для сотрудников. По мере того как компании реорганизуются для получения конкурентных преимуществ, человеческие ресурсы играют важную роль, помогая компаниям справляться с быстро меняющейся средой и повышенным спросом на качественных сотрудников.

Отдел кадров является важным, если не критическим компонентом любого бизнеса, независимо от размера организации. Он в первую очередь ориентирован на максимизацию производительности сотрудников и защиту компании от любых проблем, которые могут возникнуть у сотрудников. Обязанности HR включают компенсацию и льготы, набор, увольнение и соблюдение любых законов, которые могут повлиять на компанию и ее сотрудников.

Джон Р. Коммонс, экономист-новатор, впервые ввел термин «человеческий ресурс» в своей книге «Распределение богатства», которая была опубликована в 1893 году. Однако только в 19 веке этот термин был разработан для устранения недоразумений. между сотрудниками и их работодателями.

Исследование, проведенное The Conference Board, выявило шесть ключевых действий, связанных с людьми, которые человеческие ресурсы должны эффективно выполнять, чтобы повысить ценность компании. Эти:

1. Эффективное управление и использование людей.
2. Связывание служебной аттестации и вознаграждения с компетенциями.
3. Развитие компетенций, повышающих индивидуальную и организационную эффективность.
4. Повышение инноваций, творчества и гибкости, необходимых для повышения конкурентоспособности.
5. Применение новых подходов к построению рабочего процесса, планированию преемственности, развитию карьеры и межорганизационной мобильности.
6. Управление внедрением и интеграцией технологий посредством улучшения кадрового обеспечения, обучения и общения с сотрудниками.

Ожидается, что отделы кадров будут выполнять стратегии управления человеческими ресурсами (HRM). HRM — это стратегический и комплексный подход к управлению сотрудниками, корпоративной культурой и средой. Он фокусируется на найме, управлении и общем руководстве людьми, которые работают в организации.
