When I first registered for this course I didn’t fully understand what the disciple of Human Resource Management entitled. I thought that those working in the human resources dealt solely with the recruiting and dismissal of individuals. However, after reading the first chapter of the textbook it became very clear to me that this area of study encompasses much more.

The purpose and strategic roles of human resource management were later reinforced and expanded on during our first lecture. During the lecture we watched a short video about the Google Corporation and then broke up into teams for discussion on the clips relevance to HR. As a group we decided to use the definition of HRM given in the text book, “the activities, policies and practices involved in obtaining, utilizing and retaining the appropriate number of skilled employees to accomplish an organization objectives” (Dessler, 2011) as a base for our analysis . We determined that the HR team at Google was successfully doing their jobs because what was portrayed in the video perfectly complemented the definition given by the textbook. We reasoned this because we felt that Google was effectively obtaining, utilizing and retaining their employees. The HR recruiting staff was obtaining the best qualified applicants because they designed a work environment…
