COMM 181 Chapter Notes - Chapter 1: Human Resource Management, Employee Engagement, Human Resources
Document Summary
Human resources management (hrm) is an integrated set of processes, practises, programs, and systems in an organization that focuses on the effective deployment and development of its employees. Labour costs are one of the largest expenditures of any organization: organizations have tried a number of approaches to lower costs, particularly labour costs. These include downsizing, outsourcing, and the use of contract employees, each of which has a direct impact on hr policies and practices: technology and quality, the implications for hrm are at times mind-boggling. For example, in the early years, hrm was more administrative and spent much of its time on processing forms. Technology is now found in all the hr practices; and many of you may have already experienced this, such as when applying online for a job.
