the current financial position of the company. To this end, personnel concerned with
Human Resources will seek the best in group health insurance, retirement programs,
profit sharing, and vacation and personal days.
Preparing and maintaining a company employee handbook is often the province of
Human Resource management. As part of that process, the management team will
ensure that all guidelines and regulations contained within the text are in compliance
with local, state, and federal laws that impact the status of employees. Human
Resource management will also provide all employees with opportunities to understand
the provisions within the handbook, both as part of new employee orientation and as an
ongoing employee education process.
Often, Human Resource management and personnel are called upon to mediate
grievances between employees and immediate supervisors. In these situations, the
mediator will seek to represent the best interests of the company, ensure that the
dialogue and process is in compliance with laws governing employment within the
country of residence, and seek to affect resolution and reconciliation of all parties.
Background:
The term 'human resources' as used in organizations describes the workforce capacity
available to devoted to achievement of their objectives. The subject has drawn upon
concepts developed in industrial/organizational psychology and system theory. Human
resources have at least two related interpretations depending on context. The original
usage derives from political economy and economics, where it was traditionally called
labor economics [labor], one of four factors of production. This perspective has shifted
as a consequence of further ongoing research into more applied approaches. The
subject has expanded to 'human resources development', also called 'investment in
[human capital]'. Such development may apply to individuals within an organization or
applied beyond the level of the organization to that of industry sectors and nation.

History:
The early development of the function can be traced back to at least two distinct
movements. One element has its origins in the late 19th century, where organizations
such as Cadburys at its Bournville factory recognized the importance of looking after the
welfare of the workforce, and their families. The employment of women in factories in
the United Kingdom during the First World War leads to the introduction of "Welfare
Officers". Meanwhile, in the United States the concept of human resources developed
as a reaction to the efficiency focus of Taylorism or "scientific management" in the early
1900s, which developed in response to the demand for ever more efficient working
practices within highly mechanized factories, such as in the Ford Motor Company. By
1920, psychologists and employment experts in the United States started the human
relations movement, which viewed workers in terms of their psychology and fit with
companies, rather than as interchangeable parts.
During the middle of the last century, larger corporations, typically those in the United
States that emerged after the Second World War, recruited personnel from the US
Military and were able to apply new selection, training, leadership, and management
development techniques, originally developed by the Armed Services, working with, for
example, university-based occupational psychologists. Similarly, some leading
European multinationals, such as Royal Dutch Shell|Shell] and Phillips developed new
approaches to personnel development and drew on similar approaches already used in
Civil Service training. Gradually, this spread more sophisticated policies and processes
that required more central management via a personnel department composed of
specialists and generalist teams.
The role of what became known as Human Resources grew throughout the middle of
the 20th century. Tensions remained between academics who emphasized either 'soft'
or 'hard' HR. Those professing so-called 'soft HR' stressed areas like leadership,
cohesion, and loyalty that play important roles in organizational success. Those
promoting 'hard HR' championed more quantitatively rigorous management techniques
in the 1960s.
In the later part of the last century, both the title and traditional role of the personnel
function was progressively superseded by the emergence, at least in larger

Leadership:
Leadership is a process by which a person influences others to accomplish an
objective and directs the organization in a way that makes it more cohesive and
coherent. This definition is similar to Northouse's definition — Leadership is a process
whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal.
1. Discipline. First and foremost, a leader knows when to act. He or she’s able to get
up and get things moving. This requires a good amount of discipline. Without this trait, a
leader won’t ever do more than just suggest change. It’s important to actually enact it.
2. Forethought. Forethought is important to ensure good use of resources. If you can’t
think ahead, you’ve got no business leading people. Leaders should always practice
thinking a few steps ahead to build any advantage they can get.
3. Realism. It’s great to be idealistic. In fact, it’s important for every leader to think about
the best case scenario. However, you’ve also got to plan on setbacks. It’s crucial to be
able to realize when something simply isn’t going to work or when the resources just
aren’t there.
4. Trust. It’s important for a leader to trust the people he‘s leading to handle certain
things. Otherwise, you’ll end up micromanaging. This is bad for efficiency, and prevents
things from happening. Learn to trust people to get things done. When they see that
trust, they’ll be empowered and grateful for an opportunity to show initiative.
5. Patience. When a leader delegates a responsibility and someone makes a mistake,
it’s important not to overreact. An overreaction undermines authority and makes any
leader in business or politics seem petty. This is especially true with honest mistakes,
where nobody’s really at fault.

6. Charisma. Of course, to get anybody to follow you in the first place, charisma’s an
important trait. There are quite a few different types of charisma. The kind you need for
business is very different than what you’d need for politics. Finding and developing the
right type of charisma can be hugely helpful.
7. Humility. To lead, you’ve got to realize that you’re not perfect. Otherwise, you’ll get
rocked with that realization again and again. A good grounded personality is the mark of
a well rounded person that understands when he can’t do things by himself.
8. Empathy. In any pursuit, being empathetic can mean the difference between working
with someone and working against them. Leaders who can empathize can convince
others to help them, and know when their actions are causing more harm than good.
9. Humor. Good leaders laugh at themselves and inspire laughter. A sense of humor
helps to relieve stress within an organization, and can lead to much harder (and more
fun) work.
10. Faith. Not religious faith, but faith in people. Make sure to keep in mind that you
can’t always know everything. Keeping faith that the people you’re leading will help you
out along the way is absolutely essential. Without this kind of faith, you can’t lead well
for very long.
Motivation:
Motivation starts with motive. Motive is an inner state of our mind that activates and
directs our behavior. Motivation is ones willingness to extent effort towards the
accomplishment of his or her.
“Motivation is a process that starts with a physiological or psychological deficiency or
need that activates behavior or a drive that is aimed at a goal or incentive.”-Fred
Luthans.
“Motivation is the willingness to exert high levels of effort toward organizational goals,
conditioned by the effort ability to satisfy some individual need.” –Stephen p. Robbins.
Allah has created us with best quality. Man power or human resource is the greatest
resource in the world. But inactive or de motive people are not recourse for us.
Moreover they are burden to us. Motivation makes a man as a good or better or best
resource. Without motivation none can be an energetic and powerful worker or officer or

Job satisfaction means employer is satisfy about their job condition, salary behavior
from superior. Maximum employees are not satisfy about their job because the lack of
knowledge, controlling capacity, organizing and leading.
There are certain basic functions that all managers perform. There are planning,

There are a lots of satisfy job in the global organization. Many people go one country to
another to get a good job. So in the global sector job satisfaction is very important for
growing more production.
Stress:
Every human being under goes “stress” at some or other times. It is universal in its
effect and is democratic in nature affecting everybody. Stress is present throughout
ones life. It is not possible not to have stress. It is body’s reaction against a sudden
attack.
In the HR sector stress is very important factor. None manager avoid stress from
his\her life or organization. The hidden effects can cost the organization throughout loss
or productivity, absenentism and health care expenses. Excessive stress can cost the
individual health and future. So in HR sector stress comes and goes.

required to complete multiple direct and indirect tasks, and when such tasks are
required. In education, examples of direct tasks consist of: reading assignments,
homework assignments, projects, test preparation. In addition, examples of indirect
tasks consist of: work and family responsibilities, groc ery shopping, and recreation.
Time management is a set of principles, practices, skills, tools, and systems that help
you use your time to accomplish what you want.

1. Time is limited. Time is a very special resource in that you cannot store it or save it
for later. Everyone gets the exact same amount of time each and every day. If you don't
use your time wisely, you can never get it back.
2. Time is scarce. Most people feel like they have too much to do and not enough time.
Lack of time is blamed for everything from not getting enough exercise, poor finances,
unachieved goals, too much stress, bad relationships, and even an unfulfilled life. Time
management helps you use the time that you do have in better ways.
3. You need time to get what you want out of life. You need time to do almost
anything worthwhile in life. Waiting for more free time is a losing game that almost never
results in getting time for what you want. You need to learn how to make time for the
things that are important to you. Even if you can only afford to give a small amount of
time each week to your goals, you'd be surprised at how much progress you can make.
4. You can accomplish more with less effort. When you become more productive
using improved time management skills and tools, you can accomplish more with less
effort. Reducing wasted time and effort gives you even more productive time throughout
the day. Both of these allow you to make time for a wide range of activities that bring
more balance and fulfillment to your life.
5. Too many choices. In this day and age, there are so many ways you can spend
your time that you need some sort of plan to make intelligent choices.

A Global diverse workforce has come of age an organization are realizing the fact that
they can use them to their advantage. The wave of multiculturalism is here to stay and
cannot be ignored. Even more so when it has been proved that it is beneficial for the
organization. Organizations have realized the seriousness and sensitivity of the issue.
They not only value diversity but celebrate it. From recruitment to diversity training
organizations face a number of challenges. A strong corporate culture will help to unite
the employees on a common platform setting aside their differences and align them with
the objectives of the organization. Communication plays a vital role in managing a
global workforce. It will assist the employees and the management to accept diversity
and celebrate it. Communication of employees and the top management should take
place on a regular basis. Organizations should make policies that have a global
perspective; provide an environment of equity with equal growth opportunities to the
employees regardless of different backgrounds to have a dedicated and valuable
workforce. Only then organizations will be able to reap the benefits of a global
workforce. A diverse workforce can become an organization’s secret weapon to
success.

Recommendations:
If organizations do not have the resources to effectively manage a global
workforce, especially in the area of diversity. They should enroll services of firms
who specialize in workforce diversity management.
The internet is a vital tool in order to recruit and deploy global employees.
Organizations should make use of this and save time and cost.
Organizations can also use specialized computer software for human resource
management, a good example is web resource which is a simple, easy-to-use
project and resource scheduling application. Designed specifically for resource
and project managers, Web Resource optimizes employee management through
employee tracking, skills assignment, resource and project forecasting.
Motivational policies should be customized according to the needs of employees
belonging to a particular region.
Corporate culture of the organization should be such that all employees can
relate to it.
