Human resource management is meant for proper utilization of available skilled workforce and also to
make efficient use of existing human resource in the organization. The best example in present situation
is, construction industry has been facing serious shortage of skilled workforce. It is expected to triple in
the next decade from the present 30 per cent, will negatively impact the overall productivity of the sector,
warn industry expert.

Today many experts claim that machines and technology are replacing human resource and
minimizing their role or effort. However, machines and technology are built by the humans only and they
need to be operated or at least monitored by humans and this is the reason why companies are always in
the hunt for talented, skilled and qualified professionals for continuous development of the organization.

Therefore humans are crucial assets for any organization, although today many tasks have been
handing over to the artificial intelligence but they lack judgment skills which cannot be matched with
human mind.

EXPLAIN: UNDERSTANDING THE IMPORTANCE OF THE HUMAN RESOURCE IN THE

ORGANIZATION

What is the importance of human resource?

Behind production of every product or service there is a human mind, effort and man hours (working
hours). No product or service can be produced without help of human being. Human being is
fundamental resource for making or construction of anything. Every organization desire is to have skilled
and competent people to make their organization competent and best.

Among the five (5) M’s of management, i.e., men, money, machines, materials, and methods, HRM
deals about the first M, which is men. It is believed that in the five M’s, men is not easy to manage.
Every man is different from other and they are totally different from the other M’s in the sense that men
possesses the power to manipulate the other M’s. Whereas, the other M’s are either lifeless or abstract
and as such, do not have the power to think and decide what is good for them.

What is the purpose of Human Resource Management?

The purpose of the human resource management is to make the job and deal with the job holder
(employee). So as to perform a job in an organization, one needs to be identified. In order to identify
right person for a particular job, notification should be issued which contains job description (duties and
responsibilities) and specifications (academic qualifications and physical qualifications. So as to verify
the correctness of the candidates invited, they should be tested by the suitable selection methods for
picking-up right person. Subsequently selected candidate should be provided with the proper training for
performing his duties and responsibilities mentioned in the notification. Later, assessment of employees
performance should be done to know whether employees are performing to the desired standards set by
the management. Accordingly employees should be rewarded or paid for the job they did in the
organization and their safety in the job is the responsibility of HR manager or safety officer who should
instruct safety measures for the employees and see that they scrupulously followed. Healthy and welfare
measures are so-so important to keep employees happy and motivated which has direct impact on their
productivity. Doing so all, maintaining proper and healthy relationships between employees and
management avoids conflicts which will effect the overall performance of the organization. Most
important thing is adherence and not to ignore employment and labor laws which govern all the above
said activities for a job. Contravenes of employment laws will cost to the organization and its branding.
Hence the human resource management is like a guardian angel for the organization to sail smoothly and
long-live.
