By: David E. Guest
Human resource management (HRM) comprises a set of policies designed to maximize organizational integration, employee commitment, flexibility and quality of work. Within this model, collective industrial relations have, at best, only a minor role. Despite the apparent attractions of HRM to managements, there is very little evidence of any quality about its impact. Furthermore very few UK organizations appear to practise a distinctive form of HRM, although many are moving slowly in that direction through, for example, policies of employee involvement.

-----I don't agree with him that There is a "little evidence of any quality" about its impact, because the impact of HRM in this generation is really effective.

By:Ryan Allis
Personnel management is concerned with the effective use of the skills of people. They may be salespeople in a store, clerks in an office, operators in a factory, or technicians in a research laboratory. In a business, personnel management starts with the recruiting and hiring of qualified people and continues with directing and encouraging their growth as they encounter problems and tensions that arise in working toward established goals.Human resource management is a balancing act. At one extreme, you hire only qualified people who are well suited to the firm's needs.

-----Yah, personnel management focus more on the people within the company, while HRM balance all the personnel data, and other company document related on the management of personnel.

By:Malcolm Tatum
In any organization, there has to be someone concerned with the welfare and performance of persons who are a part of the operation. When an individual or a team of individuals takes on this task of seeing to programs and setting policies that impact everyone associated with the company, they are engaged in the process of personnel management, sometimes referred to as human resources management.

-----The author defined HRM and Personnel management the same, the personnel management was briefly define. It don't generally state the definition of Personnel management. It only state the pesonnel performance.

By: Marco Köster
Storey regard HRM as a “radically different philosophy and approach to the management of people at work” (1989: 4). In this view, HRM provides a completely new form of managing personnel and can therefore be regarded as a “departure from [the] orthodoxy” (Storey 1989: of traditional personnel management

-----The author defines HRM is the new for of personnel management. HRM is the revise form of managing the personnel in a company.. but then I agree in his definition.

By: Bnet
personnel management focuses on the individual rather than taking a collective approach. Responsibility for human resource management is often devolved to line management. It is characterized by an emphasis on strategic integration, employee commitment, workforce flexibility, and quality of goods and services.

-----I agree on this statement..Its like the HRM and personnel management are the same.

Interview a personnel/human resource manager on his concept on the nature, scope and role of human resource management

2008-09-25T17:41:00.001-07:00

Yesterday evening, I interviewed a personnel working at Davao Security and Investigation Agency. This person told me that human resource management is like the Central Processing Unit (CPU) of a company. All the files of the employee were properly managed and kept, like the file 201. Human resource management knows most of all the files of the company like payroll, hiring,appointments, memorandums, benefits, salary increase, etc.

Later on he told me that their company is different from other companies, in their company the HR is under the administration not like in the companies that have another department as HR. In their company the executive secretary is directly connected to the president. the executive secretary holds the files like memorandums, hiring, appointments and other documents.

It made me compare their company to our adopted company.....

Actually when we visited our company two months ago there was a short discussion about the nature, scope and role of the human resource management.The HRD of our company is a separate department. Since our company was the City Government its scope is within the city government, its nature and role is to take care the people within its scope. It include Personnel Selection and Transaction like recruitment, placement and selection. The Personnel Planning and Management like incentives and rewards, promotion, training and development, personnel actions and administrative sanctions. Human Resource Development which include training and scholarship grants.

But then, I agree with him. Even though their HR in the company is different from others, the same service they give to each employee. Different implementation but the same benefits in the end.

President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo had her State of the Nation Address (SONA) last July 28, 2008.

The 3 areas related to Human Resource Management:

*Training:
Training for vocational and technical courses that more than one million graduated.
Also had a training partnership with the private sector.
People are trained to work as a call center agent, medical transcription, animation and software developer, which have a demand of one million workers by 2010.

*Health Insurance:
Important program for hospitalization and other health benefits.
Health insurance protect people from the high cost of medical care by providing coverage for specific health care services.
Also to provide payment for overpriced/ expensive health care.

*Seminars:
Seminars promoting family planning
Campaign to spread the awareness of responsible parenthood
The purpose of the seminars is to slow down the population growth- (one of the reasons of the poverty).

Human beings are the most important, potent & critical, resource of any organization, & yet the least understood & the worst managed of its resources

2008-07-16T13:48:00.000-07:00

_____Among the living things in this world, humans have a highly developed brain. We are the most important because we have the ability to think, decide, manage, communicate, discover, and create. We lead and dominate the world, that’s why an organization cannot be an organization without people (who plan, manage, work, process, etc.).

_____We are the least understood because sometimes we believe on what we think is correct. Worst managed of its resources because we have our own points of view, decisions, and theories, each of us don’t want to be under the control of others.

_____Unlike computers and other high technologies today that absolutely follow every command when we manipulate them. That’s why corporations today use technologies because it is fast, it can satisfy and so easy to manage.

around 2:00 pm

Me and my group mates went to Human Resource Department of the City Hall of Davao.

We had an interview with Florita Olegario the head of HRDD.
From left to right (Ymreb Momville, Allysa Soriano, Marren Pequiro,Mrs. Florita Olegario, "Me"-Rosemie Nuñez, March Dawn Eder, and lastly was a staff who operated the LCD)

Picture taking together with the over all head of HRD in the City Hall of DavaoThey let us borrow their book in HR. You can find in the book the organization structure, functions and composition, and staff qualifications. The Human Resource Department of the City Hall of Davao were very accommodating. They welcome us and conducted our interview and presentation of their HRD at the conference room. They also let us have a soft copy of their presentation. =)

Why do you think HRM is included in the BSCS/BSIT curriculum?

2008-07-10T14:20:00.000-07:00

___HRM is management of people or humans and its resources. The courses BSIT and BSCS provide the needs of the people, enhancing things to ease the work of the people.

___HRM is included in the BSCS/BSIT curriculum because it enhances our skills and knowledge useful for developing and operating a business. In our school, the BSIT included HRM in the curriculum while the BSCS did not. That made me think that maybe BSCS don't have HRM subject because IT is more on people ware, it deals more with people while CS deals more with computers. But that's only in our school; maybe in other schools they included HRM in the curriculum of BSIT, BSCS, and other related courses.

___Today's generation always rely on high technologies that are manage by professionals and soon by us. Having a HRM subject helps a lot to make us a good boss someday.

What do you think will the 21st -century corporations look like?

2008-07-07T17:21:00.000-07:00

Today, most of all the corporations or should i say all of the corporations cannot function well without the computers and the newly created technologies. And because of these "high tech" things, it can make their work faster and more organized than manual.

Soon, it looks like computers will take over the job of some people. Like for example, our education, I can imagine that later on, students will attend their classes not in the classrooms anymore but by only facing in the computer, they can learn exactly the same way like going to school everyday like we are doing today. No need to worry on your fare in the PUV or oil price hike if you have car. It does not matter anymore if you live in Philippines, Mexico, US or other places in the world because it is also possible that your classmates can be in the other side of the world.No need to travel far to learn because it is just a one click away.

The technology today is getting better and better and soon it will be the best! But we must always remember to take good care of our environment because it is not like the computer that have undo, redo and retrieve. If we make a mistake that can destroy our environment we cannot apply here the undo, refresh and retrieve. We will all experience the consequences.

Yahoo Downsizing in the United States

Yahoo Downsizing in the United States

Downsizing at Yahoo have been doing the rounds since Terry Semel (former CEO since 2001) left Yahoo last June 2007. Co-founder Jerry Yang, the interim CEO, no doubt would like to save as many jobs as possible. He has promised to focus on three objectives:

Becoming a starting point for consumers on the Web;
Making the company a top choice for marketers seeking to place ads on sites across the Web;
And opening Yahoo’s technology infrastructure to third-party programmers and publishers.

Cause of downsizing:

* To reduce costs and narrow its focus to its most important businesses

* Yahoo shares fell more than 10 percent, to levels of more than three years ago.

* Yahoo was planning to expand its base in India.

Yahoo has begun narrowing the focus of its portal on a few key areas, including its front page, the personalized home page service MyYahoo, search, mail, and properties like news, finance and sports. Improvements to those services have led to double-digit increases in visits to Yahoo.

Yahoo said that it renegotiated and expanded a lucrative partnership with AT&T. Instead of receiving fees for each broadband customer AT&T signs up, Yahoo will share search and display advertising revenue with AT&T. Under the four-year deal, Yahoo’s search technology will also be available to AT&T’s cellphone customers.

The deal will result in upfront payments from AT&T to Yahoo for $300 million to $400 million, which will be recognized over the length of the agreement

Yahoo’s decision to purge 1000 staff members primarily from its United States operations (some in Europe) has been hot news this year. But, when the announcement was made was that Yahoo was planning to expand its base in India.

Yahoo is establishing a new lab in Bangalore with a focus on long-term research. The lab will be “a center of excellence for next generation search and advertising technologies, focused on making the Web more relevant and simple for users and advertisers.”

According to the Washington Post, the new lab will be headed by Rajeev Rastogi (previously the head of Bell Labs India) and will hire “sociologists, micro-economists, and computational scientists among other categories of staff for the lab.” The exact number of employees the new lab will hire was not disclosed, however the figure is believed to be in excess of 500 people.
