3 The New Human Resource Management Process
Why Study HRM? To learn how to engage employees more effectively. Employee engagement is a combination of both job satisfaction and a willingness to perform for the organization at a high level over an extended period of time. Organizations that engage and manage their people more successfully than their competitors have a much greater chance of being more productive and profitable than their competition.

4 The New Human Resource Management Process
HRM: Past versus Present HR managers = paper pushers who organized personnel files HR = cost center or revenue center HR managers improve organizational revenues and profits by creating the right working environment HR = productivity and profit center Human Resource Management: Functions, Applications, Skill Development by Robert N. Lussier and John R. Hendon © 2012 SAGE Publications, Inc.

5 The New Human Resource Management Process
What is Productivity? Definition: The amount of output that an organization gets per unit of input, usually expressed in units of time. Productivity requires: Effectiveness: getting the job done whenever and however it must be done; “Did we do “the right things?” Efficiency: how many organizational resources we used in getting the job done; “Did we do things right?” Human Resource Management: Functions, Applications, Skill Development by Robert N. Lussier and John R. Hendon © 2012 SAGE Publications, Inc.

6 The New Human Resource Management Process
HR Managers’ Challenges: Control HR managers have no direct control over people, specifically their: Productivity. Job satisfaction. Turnover. Absenteeism. Therefore they must create workplace conditions that foster employee willingness and desire to come to work and perform effectively and efficiently.

7 The New Human Resource Management Process
HR Managers’ Challenges: Job Satisfaction, Turnover and Absenteeism They are all interrelated with productivity, and affect employee (and therefore organizational) performance. Job satisfaction: the extent to which people like their jobs and the environment in which they work. Turnover: the permanent loss of workers, which costs the organization in many ways. Absenteeism: failure of an employee to report to work as scheduled. Human Resource Management: Functions, Applications, Skill Development by Robert N. Lussier and John R. Hendon © 2012 SAGE Publications, Inc.

8 The New Human Resource Management Process
The HRM Strategic View HRM’s shift from reactive to proactive (i.e. taking on a strategic role), which took hold within the past 30 years, gives the organization a sustainable competitive advantage, because HRM efforts are critical to being able to carry out organizational plans and reach goals that have been defined by the overall strategic plan.

9 The New Human Resource Management Process
The Main Goals of Strategic HRM To encourage employees through motivation, leadership, environmental analysis and organizational changes that work to improve job satisfaction. Doing so engages employees, which in turn increases productivity and job satisfaction, and lowers absenteeism and turnover.

10 The New Human Resource Management Process
Technology and Knowledge The job of the HR manager changed from administrator to strategic partner primarily because the type of work we do today has changed from requiring labor-intensive skills to technology-intensive and knowledge skills.

11 The New Human Resource Management Process
21st Century Talent Pool and Demographic Challenges for HR Managers They will compete to hire and retain technologically skilled workers due to a shortage of people with the knowledge to perform these increasingly complex jobs. They will need to be more culturally aware and able to deal with individuals with significantly different work ethics, cultural norms and even language differences.

13 David Gergen’s Metaphor
Don’t be afraid of failure. Climbing Ladders Riding Waves Companies come and go quickly.

15 Rita G. McGrath People with skills and capabilities to help organizations surf successive waves are being rewarded.
