What is it?
Human Resource Management (HRM) refers to the strategic approach to the effective management of people in a company or organization such that they help their business gain a competitive advantage. It is designed to maximize employee performance in service of their employer’s strategic objectives.
How does it work?
In a practical business context, HRM involves the recruitment, selection, training, appraisal, and compensation of employees. It also entails ensuring compliance with labor laws and handling labor relations. HRM departments are responsible for overseeing employee-benefits design, employee recruitment, training and development, performance appraisal, and reward management, such as managing pay and benefit systems.
Real-World Impact
Consider a global company like Google. Their HRM strategies include a rigorous recruitment process to select only the most talented and fit for their company culture. They also offer extensive employee benefits and perks to retain these talents, such as free meals, fitness facilities, and in-house medical staff.
