THE HISTORY of the human resource (HR) departments of India is not only a pro-active reactive. The human resources department is increasingly beyond recognition. This could be because of its legal origins.
All outbreaks of the first in the HR from legal requirements, whether it be for the welfare and industrial relations compensation. As a result, HR executives rarely spoke with conviction of what she did or wanted to do. It was a defensive in their approach. Your settings have been more proactive than reactive. Thanks to the latter, managers HR practitioner was, as a general rule, rather than ideas of the author.
Of course, their place in the hierarchy of the organization was low, except in large companies where because of the size and numbers to several thousand to run, there was a need for representation in the direction. But given the quality, it did not serve to add more refinement.
Somewhere, however, assumed the function increases, and with the idea that the division of human resources should be to all of its functions himself received the size increases. In many organizations, people in the HR division increased without improvements in service quality.
It was left of the software industry, with a new paradigm, HR, even if caused (such as Infosys with a few exceptions), reactive, with the need to keep people.
It should be noted, however, a few companies, such as Larsen and Tubro, and some scholars, like Dr. Rao TV tries to have an integrated system of human resources for the proper concentration since the 1980’s. Locks of these exceptions, the HR department has conducted the activities help, as the recruitment, training help animal welfare, management, administration of compensation and working relationships. It should be said that if the human resources department specializes in the really something for everyone, it was in industry relationships. In all, he played a supporting role.
A question that may be asked is what is wrong with a function. The answer is: nothing. What was the problem then? The problem was that the human resources department, alumni such as accounting, which Geheimrat to a large number of confidential information in its agencies of a certain size that the feeling of contributing wrongly, if indeed It was only.
Such a sentiment, defence and in combination with a focus on relations with the industry, announced the department, especially in large enterprises in the economy antique certain independence in their role and status. In this process, they have forgotten the main purpose of the function - to help the organization to maximize the potential of those in other words, slang today, the skills of buildings.
Throughout the organization’s history has been vested benefits that the divisions of power, with which directly at the store. Other departments, regardless of size, had their importance, first, because it has contributed to the revenue or profits of the organization core competence. Suffice it to say that there are a few decades, the IT department alien, the technique of a curve on the amount of resources, but they are now history. In the same way, the computerization of the accounting system of power directly to the hierarchy, and therefore the decline and fall of accounting. The human resources department, by the same evils.
Where is the trip?
The performance of computers to help people will streamline and schlichtere organizations. Many organizations are favourable, the secretaries of nurseries for mid-laptop may in the same function. Thus, organizations are on the road more and more power to the forces of the line of conduct of its computer centres, outsourcing, consulting and support.
If India is to compete with China and debt and IT outsourcing its forces, HR Business Manager must savvyas are those who really human resources to manage.
So, what should be the new agenda for HR?
