Human Resources Today

Leaking more than two decades of market reality proved the right to existence of modern human resource management services.Of course, not without kinks.There have been rampant as periods of euphoria fashion tests, and the bitter disappointment of the worthlessness of Western technology to the Russian reality.

In general, we can confidently say that the transformation of the Soviet personnel services in the HR-departments (departments, and most experts in the singular) was completed.No one disputes the need for them, the use of and compliance with the new realities.There were also firmly entrenched in society new concepts, including human resources, resume, assessment, competence, management of human resources outsourcing and many others.

detail dwell on the first concept - human resources, and human resources (HR).In a broad sense, it means the totality of the country's workforce or the public, in a narrower - competent staff of the organization.In domestic practice, often used the term "staff" as a synonym, although Europe and the US, the term was used primarily in the mid-20th century.The term "human resources" characterizes the emergence of a new, more humane paradigm of conflicting relations between the administration (owners) and employees.In Russia, however, the term HR could not completely replace the concept of "frames", so beloved by the notorious leader.Here, as nowhere else can see the difference in mentality.The word "staff" refers to professional soldiers, human resources are reminiscent of machines and mechanisms.The specifics of HR is this: it is the only resource that can carry out their work meaningful and capable of self-improvement.

Human resources have certain characteristics.There are quantitative indicators: the structure and number of employees.Using approved methodologies define qualification and sex and age structure, turnover rates and absenteeism.Qualitative indicators include: the qualifications or competence, motivation, capacity, and, of course, efficiency.Naturally, the first figure is much easier to measure than the latter.This explains some disappointment owners in pro-Western technology, when it was discovered that their mindless "copy-paste" increased personnel costs and did not lead to real impact.

Human Resource Planning - an important step for the integrated operation of the entire company.After development of business objectives, each structural unit is required forecast staffing needs, which takes into account the composition of the necessary competence and payroll for new employees.Based on the data obtained from the office staff using techniques such as peer assessment, analysis and extrapolation of turnover of the plan-budget recruitment.The economic downturn of recent years clearly demonstrated the precariousness of this planning.Mobile world dictates new rules, proven technology in the selection and recruitment, training and career development no longer meet the needs of the time.

appeared revolutionary methods of using web-based resources: the electronic services on employment, job interview on Skype, remote access to the workplace.All this leads to a change of relationship through the familiar directive style of management hatch timid shoots partnership.
