HUMAN RESOURCE
MANAGEMENT

Meaning:
Before we define HRM, it seems pertinent to first define
the term ‘human resources’. In common parlance,
human resources means the people. However, different
management experts have defined human resources
differently. For example, Michael J. Jucius has defined
human resources as “a whole consisting of inter-
related, inter-dependent and interacting physiological,
psychological, sociological and ethical components”.
According to Leon C. Megginson “From the national
point of view human resources are knowledge, skills,
creative abilities, talents, and attitudes obtained in the
population; whereas from the view-point of the
individual enterprise, they represent the total of the
inherent abilities, acquired knowledge and skills as
exemplified in the talents and aptitude of its
employees”.
Functions of Human Resource
Management

MANAGERIAL FUNCTION
Planning
A manager must plan ahead in order to get things done
by his subordinates. It is also important to plan in
order to give the organization its goals.

Also, planning helps establish the best procedures to

reach the goals. Further, some effective managers
devote a substantial part of their time to planning.

With respect to the human resource department,

planning involves determining the personnel programs
that can contribute to achieving the organization’s
goals.

These programs include anticipating the hiring needs of

the organization, planning job requirements,
descriptions, and determining the sources of
recruitment.

Organizing
After the human resource manager establishes the
objectives and develops plans and programs to achieve
them, he needs to design and develop the
organization’s structure to carry out the different
operations. Developing the organization’s structure
includes:

Grouping of personnel activity into functions or

positions
Assigning different groups of activities to different
individuals
Delegating authority according to the tasks assigned
and responsibilities involved
Coordinating activities of different employees
Directing
The HR Manager can create plans, but implementing
the plans smoothly depends on how motivated the
people are. The directing functions of HRM involve
encouraging people to work willingly and efficiently to
achieve the goals of the organization. In simpler words,
the directing functions of HRM entail guiding and
motivating people to accomplish the personnel
programs.

The HRM can motivate the employees through career

planning and salary administration by boosting the
employee’s morale, developing relationships, providing
safety requirements, and looking after the welfare of
employees.

In order to do this effectively, the HRM must identify

the needs of the employees and the means and
methods to satisfy them. Motivation is a continuous
process as employees have new needs and
expectations when the old ones are satisfied.

Controlling
Controlling is all about regulating activities in
accordance with the plans formulated based on the
objectives of the organization. This is the fourth
function of the HRM and completes the cycle. In this,
the manager observes and subsequently compares the
results with the set standards.

Further, he corrects any deviations that might occur.

Controlling is one of the important functions of HRM as
it helps him evaluate and control the performance of
the department with respect to different operative
functions. It also involves appraisals, audit, statistics,
etc.
OPERATIVE FUNCTION
The operative functions are those tasks or duties which
are specifically entrusted to the human resource or
personnel department. These are concerned with
employment, development, compensation, integration
and maintenance of personnel of the organisation

1. Employment:
The first operative function of the human resource of
personnel department is the employment of proper
kind and number of persons necessary to achieve the
objectives of the organisation. This involves
recruitment, selection, placement, etc. of the
personnel.

Before these processes are performed, it is better to

determine the manpower requirements both in terms of
number and quality of the personnel. Recruitment and
selection cover the sources of supply of labour and the
devices designed to select the right type of people for
various jobs. Induction and placement of personnel for
their better performance also come under the
employment or procurement function.

2. Development:
Training and development of personnel is a follow up of
the employment function. It is a duty of management
to train each employee property to develop technical
skills for the job for which he has been employed and
also to develop him for the higher jobs in the
organisation. Proper development of personnel is
necessary to increase their skills in doing their jobs and
in satisfying their growth need.

For this purpose, the personnel departments will device

appropriate training programs. There are several on-
the-job and off-the-job methods available for training
purposes. A good training program should include a
mixture of both types of methods. It is important to
point out that personnel department arranges for
training not only of new employees but also of old
employees to update their knowledge in the use of
latest techniques.

3. Compensation:
This function is concerned with the determination of
adequate and equitable remuneration of the employees
in the organisation of their contribution to the
organisational goals. The personnel can be
compensated both in terms of monetary as well as
non-monetary rewards.

Factors which must be borne in mind while fixing the

remuneration of personnel are their basic needs,
requirements of jobs, legal provisions regarding
minimum wages, capacity of the organisation to pay,
wage level afforded by competitors etc. For fixing the
wage levels, the personnel department can make use
of certain techniques like job evaluation and
performance appraisal.
4. Maintenance (Working Conditions and Welfare)

Merely appointment and training of people is not

sufficient; they must be provided with good working,
conditions so that they may like their work and
workplace and maintain their efficiency. Working
conditions certainly influence the motivation and
morale of the employees.

These include measures taken for health, safety, and

comfort of the workforce. The personnel department
also provides for various welfare services which relate
to the physical and social well-being of the employees.
These may include provision of cafeteria, rest rooms,
counseling, group insurance, education for children of
employees, recreational facilities, etc.

5. Motivation:
Employees work in the organisation for the satisfaction
of their needs. In many of the cases, it is found that
they do not contribute towards the organisational goals
as much as they can. This happens because employees
are not adequately motivated. The human resource
manager helps the various departmental managers to
design a system of financial and non-financial rewards
to motivate the employees.
6. Personnel Records:
The human resource or personnel department
maintains the records of the employees working in the
enterprise. It keeps full records of their training,
achievements, transfer, promotion, etc. It also
preserves many other records relating to the behaviour
of personnel like absenteeism and labour turnover and
the personnel programs and policies of the
organisation.

7. Industrial Relations:

These days, the responsibility of maintaining good

industrial relations is mainly discharged by the human
resource manager. The human resource manager can
help in collective bargaining, joint consultation and
settlement of disputes, if the need arises. This is
because of the fact that he is in possession of full
information relating to personnel and has the working
knowledge of various labour enactments.

The human resource manager can do a great deal in

maintaining industrial peace in the organisation as he is
deeply associated with various committees on
discipline, labour welfare, safety, grievance, etc. He
helps in laying down the grievance procedure to
redress the grievances of the employees. He also gives
authentic information to the trade union leaders and
conveys their views on various labour problems to the
top management.
8. Separation:
Since the first function of human resource management
is to procure the employees, it is logical that the last
should be the separation and return of that person to
society. Most people do not die on the job. The
organisation is responsible for meeting certain
requirements of due process in separation, as well as
assuring that the returned person is in as good shape
as possible. The personnel manager has to ensure the
release of retirement benefits to the retiring personnel
in time.

3. Advisory Functions:
Human resource manager has specialised education
and training in managing human resources. He is an
expert in his area and so can give advise on matters
relating to human resources of the organisation.

He offers his advise to:

1. Advised to Top Management:

Personnel manager advises the top management in
formulation and evaluation of personnel programs,
policies and procedures. He also gives advice for
achieving and maintaining good human relations and
high employee morale.
2. Advised to Departmental Heads:
Personnel manager offers advice to the heads of
various departments on matters such as manpower
planning, job analysis and design, recruitment and
selection, placement, training, performance appraisal,
etc.
RECRUITMENT PROCESS
An efficient recruitment process is an organization-
specific sourcing model that aims to find the right fit for
the right job at the right time. It is a step-by-step
approach to bringing in talented people who can help
the company grow. An all-inclusive recruitment process
has 5 key phases but it may vary from company to
company depending on the business vertical,
organizational structure, size of the company, nature of
operations, existing recruitment workflow and selection
process.

Importance of a Strong Recruitment Process

Any fool proof recruitment process is typically targeted
towards attracting qualified candidates and
encouraging maximum possible job seekers to apply.
This makes it possible to build a big pool of talented
players in a tight job market and minimizes the time
involved in finding candidates and filling roles for the
present and future requirements of the company. A
well-planned and thoughtfully crafted recruitment
process helps the hiring team filter the right candidates
faster while staying focused on engaging the eligible
candidates for maximum conversions. The recruitment
process not only reflects the company’s professionalism
but also helps attract the right kind of candidates while
saving the time and money spent on identifying,
attracting, engaging, recruiting and retaining talent.

GRIEVANCE HANDLING
Grievance procedure is a formal communication
between an employee and the management designed
for the settlement of a grievance.
The grievance procedures differ from organization to
organization.

1. Open Door policy

2. Step-ladder policy

Open door policy:

Under this policy, the aggrieved employee is free to

meet the top executives of the organization and get his
grievances redressed. Such a policy works well only in
small organizations. However, in bigger organizations,
top management executives are usually busy with other
concerned matters of the company. Moreover, it is
believed that open door policy is suitable for executives;
operational employees may feel shy to go to top
management.
Step ladder policy:

Under this policy, the aggrieved employee has to follow

a step by step procedure for getting his grievance
redressed. In this procedure, whenever an employee is
confronted with a grievance, he presents his problem to
his immediate supervisor. If the employee is not
satisfied with superior’s decision, then he discusses his
grievance with the departmental head. The
departmental head discusses the problem with joint
grievance committees to find a solution. However, if the
committee also fails to redress the grievance, then it
may be referred to chief executive. If the chief executive
also fails to redress the grievance, then such a grievance
is referred to voluntary arbitration where the award of
arbitrator is binding on both the parties.

GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE IN INDIAN INDUSTRY

The 15th session of Indian Labour Conference held in

1957 emphasized the need of an established grievance
procedure for the country which would be acceptable to
unions
as well as to management. In the 16th session of Indian
Labour Conference, a model for grievance procedure
was drawn up. This model helps in creation of grievance
machinery. According to it, workers’ representatives are
to be elected for a department or their union is to
nominate them. Management has to specify the persons
in each department who are to be approached first and
the departmental heads who are supposed to be
approached in the second step.
The Model Grievance Procedure specifies the details of
all the steps that are to be followed while redressing
grievances. These steps are:

STEP 1: In the first step the grievance is to be

submitted to departmental representative, who is a
representative of management. He has to give his
answer within 48 hours.

STEP 2: If the departmental representative fails to

provide a solution, the aggrieved employee can take
his grievance to head of the department, who has to
give his decision within 3 days.
STEP 3: If the aggrieved employee is not satisfied with
the decision of departmental head, he can take the
grievance to Grievance Committee. The Grievance
Committee makes its recommendations to the manager
within 7 days in the form of a report. The final decision
of the management on the report of Grievance
Committee must be communicated to the aggrieved
employee within three days of the receipt of report.
An appeal for revision of final decision can be made by
the worker if he is not satisfied with it. The
management must communicate its decision to the
worker within 7 days.

STEP 4: If the grievance still remains unsettled, the

case may be referred to voluntary arbitration.

In Relaxo Footwear, the aggrieved employee can come

directly to the P&A department with his/her problem
and department solve the problem of employee within
limited time period and on every Wednesday HR help
desk is conducted in canteen area to solve the workers
grievance As per Industrial Dispute Act,1947 Relaxo
Footwear Ltd. Also constitute a grievance redressal
committee.

A. HEALTH

There are various measures under Factories Act 1948

which are taken by factories for health, safety and
welfare of their workers. Such measures are provided
under Chapters III, IV and V of the Act which are as
follows:

(i) Section 11 ensures the cleanliness in the

factory. It must be seen that a factory is kept clean and
it is free from effluvia arising from any drain, privy or
other nuisance. The Act has laid down following
provisions in this respect :
1. All the accumulated dirt and refuse on floors,
staircases and passages in the factory shall be
removed daily by sweeping or by any other effective
method. Suitable arrangements should also be

wash should be carried at least once in every period
of 14 months; (ii) where surface has been painted
or varnished, repair or revanish should be carried
out once in every five years, if washable then once
in every period of six months; (iii) where they are
painted or varnished or where they have smooth
impervious surface, it should be cleaned once in
every period of 14 months by such method as may

varnished at least once in every period of five years.
6. The dates on which such processes are carried out
shall be entered in the prescribed register. If the
State Government finds that a particular factory
cannot comply with the above requirements due to
its nature of manufacturing process, it may exempt
the factory from the compliance of these provisions
 and suggest some alternative method for keeping
the factory clean. [Section 11(2)]

(ii) Disposal of waste and effluents

Every occupier of a factory shall make effective

arrangements for the treatment of wastes and effluents
due to the manufacturing process carried on in the
factory so as to render them innocuous and for their
disposal. Such arrangements should be in accordance
with the rules, if any, laid down by the State
Government. If the State Government has not laid down
any rules in this respect, arrangements made by the
occupier should be approved by the prescribed authority
if required by the State Government. (Section 12)

(iii) Ventilation and temperature

Section 13 provides that every factory should make

suitable and effective provisions for securing and
maintaining :-

1. adequate ventilation by the circulation of fresh air;

and
2. such a temperature as will secure to the workers
reasonable conditions of comfort and prevent injury
to health. What is reasonable temperature depends
upon the circumstances of each case. The State
Government has been empowered to lay down the
standard of adequate ventilation and reasonable
temperature for any factory or class or description
of factories or parts thereof. It may direct that
proper measuring instruments at such places and in
such position as may be specified shall be provided
and prescribed records shall be maintained.
Measures to reduce excessively high temperature: To
prevent excessive heating of any workroom following
measures shall be adopted:

1. Walls and roofs shall be of such materials and so

designed that reasonable temperature does not
exceed but kept as low as possible.
2. Where the nature of work carried on in the factory
generates excessively high temperature, following
measures should be adopted to protect the workers:
(a) by separating such process from the workroom;
or
(b) insulating the hot parts; or
(c) adopting any other effective method which will
protect the workers.
3. The Chief Inspector is empowered to direct any
factory to adopt such methods which will reduce the
excessively high temperature. In this regard, he can
specify the measures which in his opinion should be
adopted. (Section 13)

(iv) Dust and fume

There are certain manufacturing processes like

chemical, textile or jute, etc., which generates lot of
dust, fume or other impurities. It is injurious to the
health of workers employed in such manufacturing
process. Following measures should be adopted in this
respect:

 Effective measures should be taken to prevent the

inhalation and accumulation of dust, fumes etc., in
the work-rooms.
 Wherever necessary, an exhaust appliances should
be fitted, as far as possible, to the point of origin of
 dust fumes or other impurities. Such point shall also
be enclosed as far as possible.
 In stationery internal combustion engine and
exhaust should be connected into the open air.
 In cases of other internal combustion engine,
effective measures should be taken to prevent the
accumulation of fumes there from. (Section 14) It
may be pointed that the evidence of actual injury to
health is not necessary. If the dust or fume by
reason of manufacturing process is given off in such
quantity that it is injurious or offensive to the health
of the workers employed therein, the offence is
committed under this Section. Lastly the offence
committed is a continuing offence. If it is an offence
on a particular date is does not cease to be an
offence on the next day and so on until the
deficiency is rectified.

(v) Artificial humidification

Humidity means the presence of moisture in the air. In

certain industries like cotton, textile, cigarette, etc.,
higher degree of humidity is required for carrying out the
manufacturing process. For this purpose, humidity of the
air is artificially increased. This increase or decrease in
humidity adversely affects the health of workers.

Section 15(1) empowers the State Government to

make rules (i) prescribing the standards of
humidification, (ii) regulating methods to be adopted for
artificially increasing the humidity of the air, (iii)
directing prescribed tests for determining the humidity
of the air to be correctly carried out, and recorded, and
(iv) prescribing methods to be adopted for securing
adequate ventilation and cooling of the air in the work-
room.

Section 15(2) lays down that water used for artificial

humidification should be either purified before use or
obtained from a public supply or other source of drinking
water.
Where the water is not purified as stated above. Section
15(3) empowers the Inspector to order, in writing, the
manager of the factory to carry out specified measures,
before a specified date, for purification of the water.

(vi) Overcrowding

Overcrowding in the work-room not only affect the

workers in their efficient discharge of duties but their
health also. Section 16 has been enacted with a view to
provide sufficient air space to the workers.
(1) Section 16(1) prohibits the overcrowding in the
work-rooms to the extent it is injurious to the health of
the workers.
(2) Apart from this general prohibition Section 16(2) lays
down minimum working space for each worker as 14.2
cubic meters of space per worker in every workroom.
For calculating the work area, the space more than 4.2
meters above the level of the floor, will not be taken into
consideration.

Posting of notice: Section 16(3) empowers the Chief

Inspector who may direct in writing the display of a
notice in the work-room, specifying the maximum
number of workers which can be employed in that room.
According to Section 108, notice should be in English and
in a language understood by the majority of the workers.
It should be displayed at some conspicuous and
convenient place at or near, the entrance. It should be
maintained in clean and legible conditions.

Exemptions : The chief Inspector may by order in

writing, exempt any work-room from the provisions of
this section, subject to such conditions as he may think
fit to impose, if he is satisfied that non-compliance of
such provision will have no adverse effect on the health
of the workers employed in such work-room.

(vii) Lighting

Section 17 of the Factories Act makes following

provisions in this respect:

 every factory must provide and maintain sufficient

and suitable lighting, natural, artificial or both, in
every part of the factory where workers are working
or passing;
 all the glazed windows and sky lights should be kept
clean on both sides;
 effective provisions should be made for the
prevention of glare from a source of light or by
reflection from a smooth or polished surface;
