Summary
Human resource management (HRM, or simply HR) is the management process of an organization's workforce, or human resources. It is responsible for the attraction, selection, training, assessment, and rewarding of employees, while also overseeing organizational leadership and culture and ensuring compliance with employment and labor laws. Human resource personnel work as a team with line managers to anticipate personnel needs and recruit to ensure sufficient staffing of knowledgeable and skilled personnel.
Description
Human resource management (HRM, or simply HR) is the management process of an organization's workforce, or human resources. It is responsible for the attraction, selection, training, assessment, and rewarding of employees, while also overseeing organizational leadership and culture and ensuring compliance with employment and labor laws. In circumstances where employees desire and are legally authorized to hold a collective bargaining agreement, HR will also serve as the company's primary liaison with the employees [2].
Human resource personnel work as a team with line managers to anticipate personnel needs and recruit to ensure sufficient staffing of knowledgeable and skilled personnel. An example on how the HRD Department of an NPP operating organization works together with line managers to anticipate plant staffing needs is given in Appendix XXVII of [1]. In this reference, further examples on human resource and succession planning in nuclear operating facilities can be found in the appendices.
Competitive companies recognize knowledge and thereby the knowledge worker as an asset to be valued and managed. Ensuring that adequate numbers of qualified knowledge workers are available at the right time and in the right place, effective human resource processes and policies are necessary which may include
- Comprehensive workforce planning;
- Succession planning;
- Risk assessments to identify potential knowledge loss;
- Exit or elicitation interviews to capture knowledge; and
- Talent management (recruiting and employee development programmes).
