Chapter 1: Foundations of Human Resource Management
1.1 Introduction
>Organizations are successful in terms of profit and the extent to which they satisfy their customers,
create new employment opportunities and protect the environment.
>Human Resource Management was originally a administrative role. However, technology and
human resource information systems (HRIS's) changed that.
>HR practitioners must be knowledgeable about international and national challenges and
understand how they impact the organization.
>HR activity aims at achieving the organizations goals; the right people must be employed, who fit the
organizations values.
>HR must demonstrate that it is efficient in what it does.
>HR has an important role to play in creating an ethical organization.
>Ethics effects every aspect of an organization (includes its reputation).
>If an organization has a good reputation than talented people want to work for the organization.
>HR professionals must adhere to the highest professional standards because the HR department is
the custodian of ethics in the organization.
