Book Review: Human Resource Management

The author talks about the evolution of Human Resource Management and the Indian scenario. He starts by explaining the changing scenario in the industry and the role that the Human Resource manager can play in it. There is a stress on the need of identifying the workers as assets of the organization, of taking in new technologies, and of making of a learning organization. He talks about merging the Industrial Relations and Human Resource departments work wise and outlook wise. He goes to the extent of saying that only organizations which make these changes will survive in the coming years. He stresses on the issue of corporate excellence and suggests guidelines for the setting up of a monitoring system for ethics in organization. He recommends a ‘Panchsheel’ model. The first step is to prepare the organization psychologically to accept a moralistic stand on corporate excellence. Second is the audit, this is a scientific method of self assessment of the present values within the organization. Third is the need for publicly stated expectations about the employee behaviour. This includes proliferation of the company codes on ethics. Fourth is the need for an organizational structure and to support the ethical behaviour and an ethics committee should be created for this. The last step is that the ethical behaviour should be supported by the management through reward systems.
