UNIT 22- MANAGING HUMAN RESOURCES PERSPECTIVES OF HRM
PERSPECTIVES OF HRM Storey’s approach defines HRM as : “ A distinctive approach to employment management which seeks to achieve competitive advantage through the strategic deployment of a highly committed and capable workforce using an array of cultural, structural and personnel techniques”.
PERSPECTIVES OF HRM Storey defines four elements that distinguish HRM: • It is the human resource that really makes the difference and whose capabilities and commitment distinguishes successful organisations from the rest. • Because HRM is of strategic importance, it needs to have top management involvement and HRM policies should be integrated into the business strategy-stemming from it and even contributing to it.
PERSPECTIVES OF HRM • Because of the long-term implications of HRM, it needs to be of intimate concern to line managers, because they operate as deliverers and drivers of HR policies- HRM is, therefore, too important to be left to personnel specialists. • The key levers of HRM ( selection, communication, training, reward, and development) should be used to gain employee commitment to the organisation and its goals and not just compliance with them.
