REFLECTION

BUS CORE 5 (Human Resource Management)

Human Resource Management is an exciting subject and is a familiar field in my workplace. I

learned a lot about the scope of HRM and the shift towards Human Resource Development.
Hiring the right person for the job is crucial in accomplishing the company’s goal. If a company
has a dysfunctional HRM it will lead to numerous problems. I also learned the internal and
external sources of recruitment, where we can utilize current workers to apply in higher
positions or to absorb retirees again to the workforce if their experience and knowledge is
needed by the organization and these are the advantages and disadvantage of internal and
external recruitment. I also learned the different selection processes involved in HRM, where
one should undergo various tests and exams for the company to know the applicants strengths
and weaknesses. Interviews are also key elements in hiring personnel, either one on one or by
panel of interviewers. In the aspect of HRD, employees need to be developed in order for them
to be more efficient and effective in their respective duties and functions. Development of
employees may be done through skills and training. Training can benefit the individual
personnel and beneficial to the company. Trained personnel will have more wisdom and
knowledge in their field as well as developed their behavior in the company. I also learned the
training methods used by HRM like OJTs, mentoring, internships and lecturing. I have also
learned performance management where employees may be rewarded for a job well done and
ways for them to be rewarded either formal or informal. Appreciation is one way of showing
your employees that you value their work ethic and accomplishment that lead to the success of
the company. Recognition and rewards can boost the morale of the employee to be more
productive and enthusiastic in performing their assigned task and complement the future
success of the organization. I would also like to emphasize the importance of monitoring where
HR can really assess the needs of the employee and find ways to adjust as needed in the
training and development methods recently endorsed and come up with new intervention.
Thank you for Sir Robert Roperos for extending his experience and knowledge in the field of
Human Resource Management to me, a BSBA-OM student and at the same time a Government
employee, that I could use this earned wisdom in real world application and make an impact in
the development of our organization. For example, in a government agency/organization has
complex organizational structure consisting of people manning the office/division, each
division/office have personnel arrangements with different duties and responsibilities and these
duties and responsibilities are aligned with organization mission and vision to have a clear
pathway of where the organization is going in parallel with its employees. That is why having a
Human Resource Management in a government institution is very important.
