, VERSIONS OF HRM
John Storey (1995), in New Perspectives on Human resource
management, made a distinction between two versions of
HRM.
1. HARD HRM: It emphasises the need to manage people in
ways that will obtain added value from them and thus
achieve competitive advantage. Thus it concentrates on
quantitative, measurable criteria, control and performance
management. The hard approach emphasises:
• The interests of management
• Adopting a strategic approach that is closely integrated with
business strategy
• Obtaining added value from people by the process of human
resource deployment and performance management
• The need for a strong corporate culture expressed in mission
and value statements and reinforced by communications,
training and performance management process.
