An organization (company) is usually divided into various departments depending on the kind and the nature of the duties and responsibilities that has to deal with. It is undeniable that all departments and organizations in general, consist of human beings, who are undeniably the most valuable asset of the organization. Human resource management (HRM) is the department which deals with all the nature of problems and concerns having to do with humans. HRM has always been of great importance but nowadays with this fast-paced growing environment, technology and competency worldwide, it has even a more important role than in the past. HRM’s role is of great significance because basically it has to ensure that everybody is working together and towards the same goal in the company. To do so HRM must cooperate, plan, organize, lead, motivate and control everything and everyone so as to act for the best interest of the organization. HRM departments are also responsible for various processes such as acquiring, appraising, training, compensating employees, as well as keeping in track and maintaining the good relationships between employees and their effectiveness, care about their health and safety and solve their fairness concerns. A company’s success or failure is completely due to its employees, so everything starts from the hiring of new workers. In simple words, HRM department must be sure that it hires the right person for the right job at first, and then must be sure that it makes everything possible for his/her welfare, development and improvement so as to take advantage of their employees to the greatest extend.
Moving on to Yves Morieux views on the complexity of nowadays jobs, we must agree that modern environments provide workers with handbooks and protocols full of rules and responsibilities. The more the departments within a company, the more the complexity of the workload. This procedure leads to workers full of stress, not thinking out of the box and be generally unproductive and not motivated. According to Yves Morieux, there are six simple rules that can be enforced to help workers be more productive and cooperate between each other. To make people work together and help each other as much as possible, HR departments must first try making people from one department understand what people from another department do. Moreover, they can reinforce integrators which means they can guide existing managers so as to reinforce employees to cooperate. This needs removing of layers and giving power and authority to integrators. Employees must also be given the power and the opportunity to express themselves and take active part in their actions, not just following what they have been said. HR department must also give feedback and thus expose workers to the consequences of their actions publicly. They should also make employees understand that it is of vital importance for them to cooperate as their success helps towards the other departments success and their failure will make them fail as well at the end of the day. Last but not least, workers who cooperate and understand all these must be rewarded by HR and those who do not are to be blamed.
Taking all the above into consideration, HRM plays an important role in nowadays environments as it has a plethora of responsibilities which if they are done properly and on time they affect greatly and positively the performance of an organisation.
