Importance of HR
What is human relations and why is it important? HR are interactions with other people and it's very important that we consciously develop our HR skills- the ability to work effectively with other people. HR skills are not only beneficial for you as an individual; they are crucial for the overall success of your organization. An organization is a group of individuals brought together for a common purpose and is structured in a way that should best serve that purpose. Thus, an organization is a living creature: its structure is its skeleton and its people are its flesh and blood. In years past, many aspects of HR were historically ignored or handled as afterthoughts by managers. For example: an employee with a drug problem might simply been dismissed. However, now the employer might very well provide on-site treatment for the problem. Noreover, companies are increasingly providing managers with the training to recognize the signs of substance abuse in a poorly performing employee so as to correct the problem sooner rather than later.
Many companies also involve employees in decision making, support the use of teams to detect and solve problems, and teach employees to respect and value cultural diversity. Thus, the HR approach values the employee as an important resource rather than viewing him as a disposable piece of machinery.
