Meeting diverse needs
HRM aims to develop and implement policies that balance and adapt to the needs of
its stakeholders and provide for the management of a diverse workforce, taking into
account individual and group differences in employment, personal needs, work style
and aspirations and the provision of equal opportunities for all.
HRM aims to develop and implement policies that balance and adapt to the needs of
its stakeholders and provide for the management of a diverse workforce, taking into
account individual and group differences in employment, personal needs, work style
and aspirations and the provision of equal opportunities for all.
The models of HRM, the aims set out above and other definitions of HRM have been
distilled by Caldwell (2004) into 12 policy goals:
1. Managing people as assets that are fundamental to the competitive advantage of
the organization.
2. Aligning HRM policies with business policies and corporate strategy.
3. Developing a close fit of HR policies, procedures and systems with one another.
4. Creating a flatter and more flexible organization capable of responding more
quickly to change.
5. Encouraging team working and co-operation across internal organizational
boundaries.
6. Creating a strong customer-first philosophy throughout the organization.
7. Empowering employees to manage their own self-development and learning.
8. Developing reward strategies designed to support a performance-driven
culture.
9. Improving employee involvement through better internal communication.
10. Building greater employee commitment to the organization.
11. Increasing line management responsibility for HR policies.
12. Developing the facilitating role of managers as enablers.

CHARACTERISTICS OF HRM
The characteristics of the HRM concept as they emerged from the writings of the
pioneers and later commentators are that it is:
● diverse;
● strategic with an emphasis on integration;
● commitment-oriented;
● based on the belief that people should be treated as assets (human capital);
● unitarist rather than pluralist, individualistic rather than collective in its approach
to employee relations;
● a management-driven activity – the delivery of HRM is a line management
responsibility;
● focused on business values.

HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT DEFINED
Human capital management (HCM) is concerned with obtaining, analysing and
reporting on data that informs the direction of value-adding people management,
strategic investment and operational decisions at corporate level and at the level of
front line management. The defining characteristic of HCM is this use of metrics to
guide an approach to managing people that regards them as assets and emphasizes
that competitive advantage is achieved by strategic investments in those assets
through employee engagement and retention, talent management and learning and
development programmes.
