ariations in human resource management (HRM) policy and practices are discussed in the context of understanding why such differences exist within different organisations, and what the driving influences are behind any differences.
Definitions
Human resource management (HRM) policies are continuing guidelines on the approach an organisation intends to adopt in managing its employees. They define the philosophies and values of the organisation on how people should be treated. From these flow the principles upon which managers are expected to act when approaching HR matters. HR policies serve as reference points when employment practices are being developed, and when decisions are made about people. HR policies are distinguished from procedures or practices, in that a policy provides generalised guidance on the approach adopted by the organisation, and therefore its employees, concerning various aspects of employment. Procedures spell out exactly what action should be taken to ensure alignment with the policy. There are many policy areas and the values of organisations will vary with the type of business area and with the culture of the organisation. The value concepts behind HR policies include:- Equity – Treating employees fairly and justly.
- Consideration – Taking account of individual circumstances.
- Learning – A belief in the need to promote development.
- Performance – The management of performance by agreeing mutual expectations and giving feedback in their attainment.
Balance – Enabling a between work and life.
- Quality – Increasing satisfaction by making the working environment conducive to happy employees.
- Working conditions – Providing a healthy and safe environment
