HR Management
No company or organization can work without Human Resources. HR Management is responsible for linking them with the company/organization and/or with their employers. The HR Management not only focus on the basic tasks for employees; their record maintaining, providing attention to their needs & complaints and auditing, but also focus on how to motivate the employees to bring the best out of them. It can only be achieved by the understanding between the employees and the management which leads towards the success of any company or organization, this understanding is called employment relationship. One of the two main form of HRM’s existence is in the form of practice in organizations that employ people and thus have employment relationships. (Storey, pp. 3)
Motivating the employees is the first task towards running a successful company or organization. Besides the factors; their basic rights, their needs, their knowledge about the product or service they are working for, it is important for the company that the employees must work with devotion and stay loyal towards the company, and it is for this purpose that HR Management carefully design their strategies. Different activities depending on the nature of the business can be conducted by the HRM to engage the employees towards working with devotion by making it fun for them to learn about their company. It is just one example of thousands of programs that can be conducted by HRM to focus on the employee’s motivation.
Praising the employees for their work also motivates them, encouraging them to do better. Lee Iacocca once said, “When I must criticize somebody, I do it orally; when I praise somebody, I put it in writing.”. That’s one method to motivate employees, but different needs motivate different people. Some employees crave power, others want money. Some employees desire constant praise, others want to be left alone. It is crucial for managers to figure out what motivates each employee (Lauby, pp. 1).
