resources Management
According to Atty. Arnulfo Rayos, HRM dramatically changed its role and became
much important in most organizations in the late 70’s with the rapid advances in
technology and communication. Managers became increasingly concerned with
ways to improve productivity and competitiveness through employees who are
satisfied and assured of professional growth in their respective organization.
Recently, the head of HRM Department may be called as :Vice President,
Executive Vice President, Human Resource Officer, or may be Personnel
Officer.
Today, the value of human resource in every organization is of utmost
importance. Authorities in management specifically Thomas Davenport in his
1999 book Human Capital assailed that they are “an organization’s human
capital” – the greatest asset of the company.

Profession

The advent of “computer age” greatly contributed in the importance of

HRM. Organizations strive to survive amidst the stiff competition in the
“arena”- in the business world especially. This is the reason why, human
beings really play a very important role in the survival of every
organization. And thus, IT today is used in almost all phases of the HR
work. Organizations over the past years, as reflected in the study
conducted by Fortune Magazine, show that competitive advantage will
no longer be defined by better business processes but will be determined
by the quality of the workforce. This increased and intensified the need
for highly competitive and computer literate human resource.

Virtual office - is the act of moving the work to the workers instead of moving the
workers to work. This allows employees to work in a place with access to Internet.
Using this, people no longer have to travel every day. They can send their
accomplishments for the day or for the week through “electronic highways”.
 
Teleworking closes the gap between “where people live and work.” This makes jobs
“near” homes or transforms homes into virtual office or school extensions. 8 8

Topic 4: HR Departments’
Organization Charts and Structures.

Organizations nowadays have different designs and

gravitate toward smaller staff units with nontraditional
arrangements.
No two HR departments have exactly the same roles
and responsibilities.

HR Departments’
Organization Charts and Structures.

1. McDonald’s
This is a franchised store. The manager generally hires new employees
and schedules and tracks working hours for employees.
The home office in turn, generally suggests or mandates hourly wages,
provides performance appraisal forms for local use, and may handle
payroll services as well.

2. A small independent business

This is generally operated in the same way, with the owner or general
manager handling human resource duties, as the firm grows beyond a
certain size, however, a separate HR unit becomes a necessity.
