Human resource management training concerns itself with teaching the learner the process of employing people, training them, compensating them, developing policies relating to them, and developing strategies to retain them.

What Does The HRM Do?

There are many different tasks that the HRM will perform in any company. Many of these tasks are also tasks that other manager also perform, although individually and not collectively. Some of these tasks are as follows:

Staffing:

  • Development of a staffing plan. This plan allows HRM to see how many people they should hire based on revenue expectations.
  • Development of policies to encourage multiculturalism at work. Multiculturalism in the workplace is becoming more and more important, as we have many more people from a variety of backgrounds in the workforce.
  • Recruitment. This involves finding people to fill open positions.
  • Selection. In this stage, people will be interviewed and selected, and a proper compensation package will be negotiated. This step is followed by training, retention, and motivation.

Development of Workplace Policies:

  • Discipline process policy
  • Vacation time policy
  • Dress code
  • Ethics policy
  • Internet usage policy

Compensation and Benefits Administration

  • Pay
  • Health benefits
  • 401(k) (retirement plans)
  • Stock purchase plans
  • Vacation time
  • Sick leave
  • Bonuses
  • Tuition reimbursement

Retention

  • Issues around the job they are performing
  • Challenges with their manager
  • Poor fit with organizational culture
  • Poor workplace environment

Despite this, 90 per cent of managers think employees leave as a result of pay (Rivenbark, 2010). As a result, managers often try to change their compensation packages to keep people from leaving, when compensation isn’t the reason they are leaving at all.

Training and Development

Training to become an HR Manager is a worthwhile endeavour. Employers want employees who show initiative and are trained in a job that will continue to grow. They want to see their employees develop new skills within their job. This results in higher productivity for the organization. Engaging in training is also a key component in employee motivation. Employees who feel they are developing their skills tend to be happier in their jobs, which results in increased employee retention.

During one of these comprehensive training courses the learner will:

  • study the principles of strategic HRM and aligning it with the companies business strategies and objectives.
  • explore the nature of HR planning strategies for dealing with the current labour market
  • understand the role HR plays in recruitment; training development & performance management; policy & procedure and industrial relations in a business environment
  • apply the principles of motivation and management through the studies of various theorists. The role motivation and performance play in remuneration, benefits and reward systems
  • be taught how to make informed decisions regarding IT HR systems.
