Human Resource Management

Paper Summary:

Organizations are changing. Previously, human resources (HR) did not rise above the position of an administration and clerical department. The HR department's functions have changed; HR takes on more duties and responsibilities than in the past. This paper shows that the HR department is becoming a strategic partner for the organization, as it is a purveyor of the most important asset a company controls, the human asset. More than any other resources, humans ultimately come to represent the new competitive edge for a corporation. The paper examines the role of the HR manager, his/her changing role in America's work force, and expected roles in the future.

From the Paper:

"Sensitivity to issues of gender, race, culture and religion are becoming increasingly important to organization. The ability of an organization to accept new ideas and change or modify the existing attitudes of the company helps the organization grow. This was especially noticeable when the disabled and disadvantaged workers entered the workplace in increasing numbers. Many organizations in today's market place encourage individuals to have their own style and attitudes as long as they are within the main acceptable codes for the overall company. The HR departments of many organizations have, over the years, used many of these "soft" measures to improve the organization as a whole. An individual's traits also play an important role in the encounter stage."
