The Importance of Human Resources

Human Resources plays an integral role in a company’s success. Human Resources goes far beyond employee management. To understand why Human Resources is important, you have to understand the primary functions of Human Resources Management. There are many moving parts to human resource management, some of the core functions include but are not limited to : 

Hiring the best candidates -As the old adage goes, employees are your best assets. Hire the best employee to get the job done, and you can achieve record-breaking performance. Hiring the wrong employee can be costly. That’s why it’s important to have a Human Resource team that is skilled and experienced in selecting the right candidate for the job.

Employee Onboarding- Even the best new hires need to be trained. Even when they have skills in the role you hired them for, they still have to learn your organization’s systems and processes.  A smooth onboarding process will help the new hire make a smooth and quick transition from trainee to star employee. 

Conflict Management- The success of a company depends on strong teamwork.  When conflict arises it may cause some employees to quit or make working conditions less desirable for others. This is where Human Resources steps in to act as a mediator, set rules, and work on strategies to resolve conflict and move forward. 

Employee Management- While employees contribute to a great customer experience, they also have different needs ranging from medical benefits, flexible time off, family medical leave act, schedule changes and more. The Human Resources team can help employees navigate the sometimes complex “Bureaucracy” of employees perks and benefits. They also help ensure that there is coverage for specific shifts and schedules to make sure it doesn’t have a negative impact on the business. 

Failure to implement a Human Resource Strategy or have a human resource team can result in costly mistakes that reduce the quality of work, decrease profits, and increase legal and reputation risk.  Insufficient focus on HR can lead to :

• An undesirable work environment 
• Poor hiring decisions 
• Poor leadership 
• High employee turnover 

With the right human resources management team or consultant in place, organizations can benefit from strong leadership skills that benefit employees, managers, vendors, and everyone who comes in contact with the business. These benefits can include: 

• Increased profits 
• Minimize legal issues 
• Employee retention of top performers
• Implementation of time -saving systems
• Increased productivity 
• A desirable work environment 
• And much more

When it comes to Human Resources, It’s about making sure the company is performing at an optimal level to make sure employees, vendors, and managers are happy while delivering the best quality service and products to their customers.
