Document Summary

A leader explained that everyone has a personal knapsack of things they carry around with them. It is therefore important to recognize individual differences and vary your style accordingly. Successful organizations are particularly good at bringing together different kinds of people to achieve a common purpose. This is the essence of human resource management. Human resources management is a integrated set of processes, programs, and systems in an organization that focuses on the effective deployment and development of its employees. While the above lists the more traditional areas, a number of areas are emerging as the field of hr grows and responds to the concerns of both employees and employers. The line manager or supervisor is the key link between the employee and the organization. Although hr professionals may have responsibility for coordinating programs and policies pertaining to people-related issues, managers and employees themselves are ultimately responsible for making the organization successful.
