The organization could be a leading industry manufacturing the most important and fast moving goods and its technology could be of supreme nature, highly advanced and unparalleled and the organization could be a monolith one and hence not very much concerned or even bothered about any external competition. Even then it should have a well-oiled work force managed and supervised by an efficient Personnel Department to ensure the ultimate success of the organization. In the absence of it, all could end up in a chaos leading to disintegration of the institution as overnight the demand for its products can vanish and/or its technology can get obsolete.
If the institution or the organization is a service industry that deals all the time with humans, only a well run personnel management team can take proper care of its work force and it becomes all the more important. Thus management of the personnel employed by any organization, in modern times, is called human resources management which assumes an important role today.The job of an HR manager begins first with recruitment of suitable staff and then putting them into a training module which enables them not only understand what is expected of them in the company but also makes them rise to their potential. Then only the workers/employees can really contribute to the development of the company and work in a cohesive manner with a sense of belonging and even with a great pride for the institution. The good grounding of the company-what it stands for-it beliefs and principles etc., should be clearly made known to them in the induction training stage. Subsequently, they should be exposed to a rigorous on-the-job training, where they can work along with the seniors, to have first hand understanding about their work. Sometimes this may even result in certain improvements in the company's functioning as the new employees may think of the routine jobs differently and can make positive suggestions.
An opportunity to apply their minds and come out with suggestions must be embedded in the system. This will only encourage creativity among the staff and more new suggestions can come from them. Highly qualified youngsters get tired of routine work or repetitive jobs and they should therefore be observed, guided and encouraged so that their contribution in a creative manner can be available to the company at no extra cost.
