HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
he management of the people and the staff policies and practice that enable an organization to carry out its work. This affects staff from the moment an individual contacts the organization in response to a job advertisement, to the time they leave the organization. Human resource management is about enabling staff to use their qualities in order to fulfill their role and contribute to the organization’s mission and purpose.
Good human resource management is essential if organizations want to attract and retain good staff. If people see that an organization values its staff, they are more likely to apply for a job with the organization and more likely to stay once they are recruited. Good human resource management means that an organization reduces risk to its staff and reputation. It can do this by considering issues such as employment law, child protection and health and safety. Good human resource management can also reduce costs for an organization. For example, good recruitment policies and processes mean that organizations can efficiently recruit people who will carry out their jobs effectively. Good systems for performance management mean that organizations can ensure that they are getting the best from their staff. It should be noted that volunteers are an important resource for many organizations. Some sections of this book, such as salaries and employment contracts, are not relevant to volunteers. However, sections such as benefits, performance management and staff development are relevant to volunteers. Development organizations should consider carefully which policies and practices should also be used with volunteers.
This book is for people who manage staff and those who are specifically involved in aspects of human resource management. In some organizations, line managers may be the only people who consider human resource management. Other organizations may employ one or more people to oversee human resource management. The policy and guidelines for human resource practice which such people provide are used by the line managers. Line managers are therefore as responsible for human resource management as any team devoted to it.
