Students who are now preparing for careers in organizations will find that the study of HRM will provide a background of understanding that will be valuable in managerial and supervisory positions. Although HR managers have the responsibility for coordinating and enforcing policies relating to the HR functions, all managers and supervisors are responsible for performing these functions in their relations with subordinates.
It is in such positions of leadership that the majority of students will be employed. HRM is therefore oriented to help you in managing subordinates more effectively, whether you become first-line supervisor or chief executive officer.
Discussions concerning the role of the HR department can serve to provide one with a better understanding of the functions performed by this department. A familiarity with the role of the HR department should help you to cooperate more closely with the department’s staff and to utilize more fully the assistance and services available from this resource.
The present status of HRM was achieved only after years of evolutionary development. You need to understand the forces that have contributed to this process and to become more aware of forces acting today that will have an effect on HRM in the future.
