Summary

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' (from the comprehensive article in Wikipedia).

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.
