HR at My Organization
Abstract
In this project I hope to understand more on the role of the human resource department in any organization and the tasks it carries out to help achieve the organization goals, how it plans to achieve it, the challenges it encounters and what future plans it has for the organization.
I have been privileged to interview our manager finance and administration who for some time, was playing the role of human resource manager, and get an inside feel of how the department works. I also got time to sit with various staff members from different programmes within the organization and get their view of the Human Resource department and their overall feel of the organization and its plans.
In the interviews with the manager finance and administration and various staff members from other programmes, I managed to gather both physical data and information on performances of individuals or programmes, what the human resource department’s plans are for the future, and the challenges it has in the unforeseen future. The staff members, who were selected randomly, participated in a questionnaire which focused on how they have benefitted by having a human resource department within their organization.
With the information gathered, it became clearer on the commitment the human resource department has in terms of the organization goals and its part in the realization of those goals. It also highlighted the difficulties that the department encounters on a regular basis in a growing organization and how it manages these challenges both internally and externally. Also highlighted was the appreciation and disappointments various staff members have towards to department.
