What is Human Resources Management??

Many people will reply, “Isn’t that about hiring and firing people?”

That response is: WRONG! HRM is so much more than that…

Organizations are realizing that quality employees are a strategic aspect in competition.  Managing those employees effectively directly impacts the achievement of the organization’s objectives.

On a broad level, human resource management is designed to acquire a competent workforce and create an overall organizational climate that maximizes employee satisfaction and efficiency, subsequently contributing to the attainment of organizational goals.

When considering HR as a career, you should know the broad scope of opportunities you can pursue.  There are a wide variety of areas one can specialize in within the HR field.

Some examples include:

• Labour relations
• Employee relations
• Human resource information management
• Staffing
• Organizational learning, training, and development
• Organizational effectiveness
• Workplace health and safety
• Total compensation
