HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT


INTRODUCTION:
The human resources of an organization consist of all people who perform its activities. Human resource management (HRM) is concerned with the personnel policies and managerial practices and systems that influence the workforce. In broader terms, all decisions that affect the workforce of the organization concern the HRM function. The activities involved in HRM function are pervasive throughout the organization. Line managers, typically spend more than 50 percent of their time for human resource activities such as hiring, evaluating, disciplining, and scheduling employees. Human resource management specialists in the HRM department help organizations with all activities related to staffing and maintaining an effective workforce. Major HRM responsibilities include work design and job analysis, training and development, recruiting, compensation, team-building, performance management and appraisal, worker health and safety issues, as well as identifying or developing valid methods for selecting staff. HRM department provides the tools, data and processes that are used by line managers in their human resource management component of their job.

ACTIVITIES OF HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT:


The activities performed by HRM professionals fall under five major domains: (1) Organizational design, (2) Staffing, (3) Performance Management and Appraisal, (4) Employee and Organizational Development, and (5) Reward Systems, Benefits and Compliance Acquiring human resource capability should begin with organizational design and analysis. Organizational design involves the arrangement of work tasks based on the interaction of people, technology and the tasks to be performed in the context of the objectives, goals and the strategic plan of the organization. HRM activities such as human resources planning, job and work analysis, organizational restructuring, job design, team building, computerization, and worker-machine interfaces fall under this domain. Recruitment, employee orientation, selection, promotion, and termination are among the activities that fit into the staffing domain. The performance management domain includes assessments of individuals and teams to measure, and to improve work performance. Employee training and development programs are concerned with establishing, fostering, and maintaining employee skills based on organizational and employee needs. Reward systems, benefits and compliance have to do with any type of reward or benefit that may be available to employees. Labour law, health and safety issues and unemployment policy fall under compliance component.

LITERATURE REVIEW
INTRODUCTION ENHANCING WORK PLAN IN A ORGANIZATION The importance of WORK PLAN is being increasingly realized in industrial and non-industrial organizations both in India and abroad. This realization has come about because of increasing complexity of the task managers and administrators. In most of the organizations the problem of getting the competent and relevant persons, retaining them, keeping up their motivation and morale, and helping them to both continuously grow and contribute their best to the organizations, are now viewed as the most critical problems. With the changes in the social climate, values and norms, changes are also seen in the employees who join the organization today. Their expectations are different, they have different values and norms and they are certainly more competent and more informed than employees in the past. While these can be great assets to the organization, they become if the organization is not able to manage human resources properly. According to Leon C.Megginson, the term human resource can be thought of as, the total knowledge, skills, creative abilities, talents and aptitudes of an organizations workforce, as well as the value, attitudes and beliefs of the individuals involved. The term human resource can also be explained in the sense that it is resource like any natural resource. It does mean that the management can get and use the skills, knowledge, abilities etc., through the development of skills, tapping and utilizing them again and again. Thus, it is along term perspective where as personnel is a short term perspective. Human resources are also regarded as human factor, human asset, human capital and the like. The terms labour and the manpower had used widely denoting mostly the physical abilities and capacities of employees. The term personnel had been used widely in the recent past to denote persons employed in any services. Thus, this term denotes the employees as a whole but it does not clearly denote various components of human resources like skill, knowledge, values etc.

The principal component of an organization is its human resources or people at work. Human resource have been defined as from the national point of view, the knowledge, skills, creative abilities, talents and aptitudes obtained in the population; where as the view point of the individual enterprise, they represent the total of the inherent abilities, acquired knowledge and skills as exemplified in the talents and aptitudes of the employees. Nature and scope of human resources: People in any organization manifest themselves, not only through individual sections but also through group interactions. When individuals come to work place, they come with not only technical skills, knowledge etc., but also with their personal feeling, perceptions, desires, motives, attitudes, values etc. Therefore, employee management in an organization does mean management of not only technical skills but also other factors of the human resources. A close observation of employees reveals that they are complex beings, i.e., physiological, psychological, sociological, and ethical beings. The proportions or intensities of these dimensions of the human factor in employment may differ from one situation to another but the fact remains that these are the basic things of the human factor in organizations. Undoubtedly the physical and the mental attributes of human resources are highly pertinent to organizational performance and productivity. Further it is important to note that the employees in any organization are not to be viewed as static individuals since the quantity as well as quality of human resources is modified by such environmental factors as education, training, development etc. Hence the handling of human resource is entirely different from that of other resources. If human factor is properly utilized, it may even prove a dynamic motive force for running an organization. Otherwise it becomes a passive and destructive force. I want to extend the benefits of having a formal HR department to Shriram Life insurance which does not have one.

Work Plan Review A) OBJECTIVE OF HRP:

Shriram Life Insurance

HRP fulfils individual, organizational & national goals. The objectives may be laid down for a short term (i.e. for one year). The long-term objective may be to start a new industry, to expand the market, to produce a new product, to develop its own sales force etc. B) ESTIMATING FUTURE ORGANISTAIONAL STGRUCTURE &

MANPOWER REQUIREMENTS: The Management must estimate the structure of the Organisation at a given point in time. For this estimate, the number of type of employees needed have to be determined. Many environmental factors affect this determination. They include business forecasts, expansion & growth, design &structural changes, management philosophy, government policy, product &human skills mix, & competition. C) AUDITING HUMAN RESOURCES WORK PLAN: Once the future human resource needs are estimated, the next step is to determine the present supply of manpower. This is done through what is called Skills inventory. A skills inventory abilities work preference & other items of information which indicate his over all value of the company. D) PLANING FOR JOB ANALYSIS: After having decided how many persons would be needed, it is necessary to prepare a job analysis, which records details of training, skills qualification, abilities, experience & responsibilities etc. which are needed for a job. analysis includes the preparation of job descriptions & job specifications. E) DEVELOPING A HUMAN RESOURCE WORK PLAN: This step refers to the development & implementation of the HR Plan, which consists in finding out the sources of labour supply with a view to making an effective use of these resources. The first thing is to decide on the policy should the personnel be hired from with through promotional channels or should it be obtained from an outside source.

organizations is to fill up higher vacancies by promoting a lower level positions by recruitment from the labour market.

EMPLOYMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OF PERSONNEL Lets see the importance of some WORK PLAN that comes under EMPLOYMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OF PERSONNEL. HUMAN RESOURCE WORK PLANNING: In the words of Coleman Human resource work planning is the process of determining man power requirements and the means for meeting those requirements in order to carry out the integrated plan of the organization. Thus we can say that Human resource work planning consists in projecting future man power requirements and developing manpower plans for implementing of the projections. Human resource work planning helps the management to have the right number and the right kind of people at the right place, at the right time, to do things, which result in both the organization and the individual receiving the maximum long range benefits. It will be noted that manpower planning consists in projecting future manpower requirements and development of manpower plans for the implementation of the projections. This planning cannot be rigid or static; it is amenable to modification, review and adjustments in accordance with the needs of the organization or the changing circumstances. Right person for the right job is the basic principle in recruitment and selection. Every organization should give attention to the selection of its manpower, especially its managers. Every business organization/unit needs manpower for carrying different business activities smoothly and efficiently and for this recruitment and selection of suitable candidates are essential. According to EDWIN FLIPPO, Recruitment is the process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating them to apply for jobs in the organization.

Selection is basically picking an applicant from a pool of applicants who has the appropriate qualification and competency to do the job. Both recruitment and selection are the two phases of the employment process. The differences between the two are:

Recruitment is the process of searching the candidates for employment and stimulating them to apply for jobs in the organization whereas selection involves the series of steps by which the candidates are screened for choosing the most suitable persons for vacant posts. The recruitment and selection process is always easier if an employer can provide a recruitment agency or recruitment consultant with a very specific brief on what they want in an employee. They should also advise the agency/consultant of their own processes of selecting the right candidate. This way the agency or consultant can advise potential candidates at each stage of the recruitment and selection process. The basic purpose of recruitment is to create a talent pool of candidates to enable the selection of the best candidates for the organization, by attracting more and more employees to apply in the organization whereas the basic purpose of selection is to choose the right candidate for various positions in the organization. Recruitment is a positive process i.e. encouraging more and more employees to apply whereas selection is a negative process as it involves rejection of the unsuitable candidates. Recruitment and selection process involves a systematic procedure from sourcing the candidates to arranging and conducting the interviews and requires many resources and time. A general recruitment process is as follows: Identify vacancy Prepare job description and person specification Advertising the vacancy Managing the response

Work Plan Review Short-listing Arrange interviews Conducting interview and decision making Recruitment Planning: -

Shriram Life Insurance

The first involved in the recruitment process is planning. Hire, planning involves to draft a comprehensive job specification for the vacant position, outline its major and minor responsibilities; the skills, experience and qualifications needed; grade and level of pay; starting date; whether temporary or permanent; and mention of special condition, if any, attached to the job to be filled.

Development Plan:Once it is known how many with what qualification of candidates are required, the next step involved in this regard is to device a suitable strategy for recruitment the candidates in the organization. The strategic considerations to be considered may include issues like whether to prepare the required candidates themselves or hire it from outside, what type of recruitment method to be used, what geographical area be considered, for searching the candidates, which source of recruitment to be practiced, and what sequence of activities to be followed in recruiting candidates in the organization.

NEED FOR HUMAN RESOURCE WORK PLANNING Human resource work planning is deemed necessary for all organizations for one or the other of the following reasons: To carry on its work, each organization needs personnel with necessary qualifications, skills, knowledge, work experience and aptitude for work. These are provided through effective Human resource work planning. Since a large number of persons have to be replaced who have grown old, or who retire, die or become incapacitated because of physical or mental ailments, there is a constant need for replacing such personnel. Otherwise the work would suffer. Human resource work planning is essential because of frequent labour turnover which is unavoidable because it arises from factors which are socially and economically sound such as voluntary quits, discharges, marriages, promotions; or factors such as cyclical fluctuations in business which cause a constant movement and flow in the workforce in many organizations. In order to meet the expansion programs. The nature of the present workforce in relation to its changing needs also necessitates the recruitment of new labour. To meet the challenge of a new and changing technology new techniques of production, existing employees need to be trained or new blood is injected in to the organization. Human resource work planning is also needed in order to identify areas of surplus personnel or areas in which there is shortage of personnel. If there is surplus, it can be redeployed; if there is shortage, it may be made good.

HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT


HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Human Resource Management function that helps managers recruits select, train and develop members for an organization. Obviously, HRM is concerned with the peoples dimension in organizations In all business concerns, there is one common element. i.e. HUMAN RESOURCE. Work force of an Organization is one of the most important inputs of components. It is said that people are our single most important assets. Because of the unique importance of HUMAN RESOURCE and its complexity due to ever changing psychology, behavior and attitudes of men and women at work, personnel function, i.e., manpower management function is becoming increasingly specialized. The personnel function or system can be broadly defined as the management of people at work- management of managers and management of workers. Personnel function is particularly interested in personnel relationship and interaction of employees-human relations. In a sense, management is personnel administration. Management is the development of people, and not mere direction of material resources. Human capital is the greatest asset of a business enterprise. The essential ingredient of management is the leadership and direction of people. Each manager of people has to be his own personnel man. Personnel management is not something you really turn over to personnel department staff. MANPOWER PLANNING Human Resource Planning is the process by which an organization ensures that it has the right number and kind of people, at the right place, at the right time, capable of effectively and efficiently competing those tasks that will help the organization achieve its overall objectives. Human Resource Planning translates the organizations objectives and plans into the number of workers meet those objectives. Without a clear-cut planning, estimation of an organizations human resource need is reduced to mere guesswork

MARKETING DEPARTMENT
Traditionally, insurance products have been promoted and sold principally through agency systems in most countries. With new developments in consumer behaviour, evolution of technology and deregulation, new distribution channels have been developed successfully and rapidly in recent years. Shriram Life Insurancemake use of various distribution channels: Career Agents Advertisements Direct Response Internet

The main characteristics of each of these channels are: Career Agents: Career Agents are full-time commissioned sales personnel holding an agency contract. They are generally considered to be independent contractors. Consequently an insurance company can exercise control only over the activities of the agent, which are specified in his contract. Despite this limitation on control, career agents with suitable training, supervision and motivation can be highly productive and cost effective. Moreover their level of customer service is usually very high due to the renewal commissions, policy persistency bonuses, or other customer service-related awards paid to them. Many insurance companies, however avoid this channel, believing that agents might oversell out of their interest in quantity and not quality. Such problems with career agents usually arise, not due to the nature of this channel, but rather due to the use of improperly designed remuneration and/or incentive packages. Direct Response: In this channel no salesperson visits the customer to induce a sale and no face-to-face contact between consumer and seller occurs. The consumer purchases products directly by responding to the company's advertisement, mailing or telephone offers. This channel can be used for simple packaged products, which can be easily understood by the consumer without explanation.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
HISTORY OF INSURANCE Insurance has been around since ancient times. The Babylonians and Phoenicians had ocean marine insurance to protect a merchant against losses incurred when a ship did not reach its intended destination with its load of goods or did not return with payment. This form of insurance, called Respondentia, evolved because the goods on board often were used as collateral for a loan. The lender charged the borrower interest on the loan and levied an additional sum, the premium, to cover the cost of the respondentia contract. If the ship reached its destination and returned, the merchant received payment for the goods and in turn paid the moneylender. If the ship failed to return, the debt was cancelled. This system was profitable to lenders because many respondentia contracts were sold, and debts were paid more often than cancelled. In ancient Rome, associations had a form of insurance for their members. Each member made regular payments to the association in return for coverage of funeral expenses or for assistance to family members who were injured or ill. Insurance also existed in 17th-century England, which was then one of the world's principal maritime powers. Those seeking marine insurance would post a list of their cargo and voyages in a London coffee house owned by Edward Lloyd. Private investors would examine the list and sign their name by the entries they were willing to guarantee for a fee. These private investors were the first insurance underwriters, and the coffee house became the world center of marine insurance. Today the organization is known as Lloyds of London, and it brings together individuals, most often working in syndicates, who write all types of insurance. Insurance in the modern form originated in the Mediterranean during 14th century. The earliest references to insurance have been found in Babylonia, the Greeks and the Romans. The use of insurance appeared in the account of North Italian merchant banks who then dominated the international trade in Europe at that time. Marine insurance is the oldest form of insurance followed by life

insurance and fire insurance. The patterns that have been used in England followed in other countries also in these kinds of insurance The oldest and the earliest records of marine policy relates to a Mediterranean voyage in 1347. In the year 1400, a book written by a merchant of Florence, indicates premium rates charged for the shipments by sea from London to Pisa. Marine Insurance spread from Italy to trading routes in other countries of Europe. Fire insurance has its origin in Germany where it was introduced in municipalities for providing compensation to owners of the property, in return for an annual contribution, based on the rent of those premises. The fire insurance in its present form started after the most disastrous fire in human history known as the 'Great Fire' in London, which had destroyed several buildings. It drew the attention of the public and the first fire insurance commercially transacted in 1667. The Industrial Revolution (1720-1850) gave much impetus to fire insurance. The Nineteenth century marked the development of fire insurance. Due to the increasing demands of the time, different forms of insurance have been developed. Industrial Revolution of 19th century had facilitated the development of accidental insurance, theft and dacoits, fidelity insurance, etc. In 20th century, many types of social insurance started operating, viz., unemployment insurance, crop insurance, cattle insurance, etc. This way the business of insurance developed simultaneously with human and social development. Today, the use of computers in the field of insurance is frequently increasing. Insurance becomes an inseparable part of human development. The early developments of life insurance were closely linked with that of marine insurance. The first insurers of life were the marine insurance underwriters who started issuing life insurance policies on the life of master and crew of the ship, and the merchants. The early insurance contracts took the nature of policies for a short period only. The underwriters issued annuities and pension for a fixed period or for life to provide relief to widows on the death of their husbands. The first life

insurance policy was issued on 18th June 1583, on the life of William Gibbons for a period of 12 months. The history of life insurance in India dates back to 1818 when it was conceived as a means to provide for English Widows. Interestingly in those days a higher premium was charged for Indian lives than the non-Indian lives as Indian lives were considered more riskier for coverage. The Bombay Mutual Life Insurance Society started its business in 1870. It was the first company to charge same premium for both Indian and non-Indian lives. The Oriental Assurance Company was established in 1880. The first general insurance company- Tital Insurance Company Limited was established in 1850. Till the end of nineteenth century insurance business was almost entirely in the hands of overseas companies. Insurance regulation formally began in India with the passing of the Life Insurance Companies Act of 1912 and the Provident Fund Act of 1912. Several frauds during 20's and 30's sullied insurance business in India. By 1938 there were 176 insurance companies. The first comprehensive legislation was introduced with the Insurance Act of 1938 that provided strict State Control over insurance business. The insurance business grew at a faster pace after independence. Indian companies strengthened their hold on this business but despite the growth that was witnessed, insurance remained an urban phenomenon. The Government of India in 1956, brought together over 240 private life insurers and provident societies under one nationalized monopoly corporation and LIC was born. Nationalization was justified on the grounds that it would create much needed funds for rapid industrialization. This was in conformity with the Government's chosen path of State- led planning and development.
