HRM 635 Reflect on the status of human resource management in your current position or organization Re: Topic 1 DQ 2

In order for me to reflect on the status of human resource management in my current organization, it is important to understand that Human Resource Management (HRM), “is the process of acquiring, training, appraising, and compensating employees, and of attending to their labor relations, health and safety, and fairness concerns” (Dessler, 2020, p41). Within my organization the Human Resource (HR) department has different roles such as planning and staffing that focus on the employees within the organization. Planning means establishing standards and developing rules and procedures for employees to ensure the organization is abiding my state and federal regulations. The HR department in my organization also takes on other employee driven elements such as helping employees choose the correct health coverage for them and working with existing employees during open enrollment. Another element the organization has includes staffing. which means determining what type of people should be hired; recruiting prospective employees; selecting employees; setting performance standards (Dessler, 2020). I think that some of the elements of HRM that my organization has that focuses on the whole organization include things such as leading and maintaining morale; motivating subordinates as well as controlling such as setting quality standards and checking to see how actual performance compares with these standards; taking corrective action as needed. My organization incorporates HR as a strategic partner because they can bring a specific perspective on how to avoid personnel mistakes and increase levels of engagement, profits, and performance.
