Role of HRMEvery organization is comprised of people. Acquiring
their services, developing their skills, motivating them to high levels of performance and maintain their commitments.
Organizational goals cannot be achieved without human resources. People – not buildings, equipments, or brand names – make a company.
The role of human resource managers has changed. HRM jobs today require a new level of sophistication.
– Jobs have become more technical and skilled. – Traditional job boundaries have become unclear
with the beginning of such things as project teams and telecommuting.
– Global competition has increased demands for productivity.

organization’s gain and keep an advantage over competitors by becoming high-performance work systems.

• Key trends occurring in today’s high-performance work systems:– reliance on knowledge workers– the empowerment of employees to make decisions– the use of teamwork
Strategic Business Issues Affecting HRM
The Nature of the Employment Relationship is Changing
• The employment relationship takes the form of a “psychological contract” that describes what employees and employers expect from the employment relationship.
• In the traditional version, organizations expected employees to contribute time, effort, skills, abilities, and loyalty in exchange for job security and opportunities for promotion.
• Today, organizations are requiring top performance and longer work hours but cannot provide job security.
• Instead, employees are looking for: flexible work schedules, comfortable working conditions, greater autonomy, opportunities for training and development, performance-related financial incentives
• This requires planning for flexible staffing levels.
