1. Regardless of their industry, size or location, todays organizations are faced with
five critical challenges viz ; Globalization, Profitability through growth, Technology,
Intellectual capital and Change, Change and more Change. Collectively these
challenges require organizations to build new capabilities.
Critically comment on the above statements with respect to your experiences with
the organization you have been working for/known to you. Give relevant details of
the organization you are referring to.
Solution : Modern organizational setting is characterized by constant changing relation to
environmental factors and human resources. As regard to the environmental factors, we find
changes in the operating organizational structure, the network of the working procedures,customs on norms and the economic, political and the social patterns in which organizations
exist. Moreover, there is a constant change in human resources, the individuals are employeddaily with new creativity, ideas and experiences, while the existing workforce is alsocontinuously changing their ideas, attitudes and even values.
These two dimensions reveal the following trends. Increased complexity of the organizations, employment and a clear hierarchy of owners,
managers and workers. Increased the number of employers, self-employed and enlarged size of workforce. Enhance the need of training in view of increased requirements of specialized skills. Public interventions and legal complications in employee and employer relationships. Enhanced training and development of managers and professionalisation of management
education. Possibility of employment explosion in view of ever increasing size of workforce. Rising the formal level of education of rank and file employees who becoming
increasingly critical of management malpractice and errors. Rank and file employees rapidly growing demands in different employment situations. Recognizing of close relationships between profits and earnings and ability to manage
human resources.
Indeed these trends manifest themselves in problem areas as identified by the managers inorganizational settings. Although the change may provide solutions to some problems, it may
8/3/2019 ignoumbams-02solvedassignment2011

create several new ones. There is an urgent need to understand these problems, anticipate themand to find solution to them. The responsibility to find out the solutions to these problems
lies with every manager who has prepared to deal with different change effectively through
educational and developmental programs. Obviously, every manager is responsible for
management of human resources of course with the advice and help of personnel department.Management of human resources is the essence of being manager who has to get things done
through the people without whom he can be a technician but not a manager. Thus, every managerhas to develop and maintain his competency in managing human resources, which have assumed
utmost significance in modern organizations.
HUMAN FACTOR AND THEIR IMPORTANCE
The macroeconomic and management issues facing the Indian economy are the removal of thetwin evils of employment and poverty. How to remove these twin evils and more important,
promote optimum utilization of human capacities would be a major concern of not only the
State but also Indian business and management. In addition, the following major macro andmicro issues pose the serious problems to management and it is time that Indian business and
management face the challenges of these issues and make a contribution in solving these issues.The macro and micro issues: Capacity utilization-machine as well as human. Combating the inflation and holding the price line. Population problem. Motivation, involvement and consultation. Meeting basic physiological and other needs. Reducing the absenteeism, accidents, loss and damage. Generating employment opportunities, almost to the level of full employment. Human assets accounting, profits and growth. Eliminating strikes and lockouts through voluntary measures. Job redesigning, enlargement, enrichment. Promoting the health, self-renewal and creativity. Promoting exports and economic growth. Conservation of resources (renewal and non-renewal.) Increase the productivity of finance. Waste and cost reduction. Promoting the arts and culture, religion, sports, leisure activities. Adoption of village and communities. Promoting entrepreneurship, barefoot entrepreneurs and managers. Eliminating discrimination of all types. Promoting a sense of national identity, awareness and contribution. Promoting industrial and national security. Eliminating poverty completely. Improving the quality of working life. Improving the quality of life.
The human resources (total sum of knowledge, skills, creative abilities, talents and attitudes
obtained in the population: National point of view) have also been designed a human factors.According to Michael J. Jucious, human factor refers to a whole consisting of inter-related,
interdependent and interacting physiological, psychological, social, and ethical components.

It has physiological needs (food, rest, environmental conditions, security etc.), psychologicalneeds (autonomy, achievement, power, acquisitiveness) social needs (affiliation, status, approval,
prestige etc.) and it has an ethical creature, it has concepts of right and working. It tends to
do what it thinks right. Obviously, the human factor is dynamic in nature as is revealed in
motivation and defense mechanism. It is the on going process involving the four sub-processes.The human resources are assuming increasing significance in modern organizations. Obviously,
majority of the problem in organizational setting are human and social rather than physical,technical or economic. The failure to recognize this fact causes immense loss to the nation,
enterprise and the individual. It is a truism that productivity is associated markedly with the
nature of human resources and their total environment consisting of interrelated, interdependent
and interacting economic and non-economic (political, religious, cultural, sociological andpsychological) factors. Thus, the significance of human resources can be examined from time to
time.

objectives To comply with the country's laws and organizational policies and procedures To develop the professionalism of your HR people To facilitate better HR planning
It is clear that this involves examining your current HR policies, practices and strategies and toverify their effectiveness in helping your organization improve its productivity and profitability.
Comparison With Financial Audit
It differs from a financial audit which seeks to find inaccuracies or mistakes.
A financial audit looks at past events. An HR audit looks to the future, seeking to discover HR
best practices that are relevant to your business activities.
The general process of conducting an audit includes seven key steps, each of which is discussed
in greater detail below:
Determine the scope and type of audit.
Develop the audit questionnaire.
Collect the data.
Benchmark the findings.
Provide feedback about the results.
Create action plans.
Foster a climate of continuous improvement.
Determine the scope and type of the audit
To uncover the needed information, it is important to determine exactly what areas should
be targeted for review. If the organization has never audited its HR function, or if there have
been recent significant organizational or legal changes, the audit team may want to conduct a
comprehensive review of all HR practice areas. On the other hand, if concerns are limited to the
adequacy of a specific process or policy, the audit focus should be limited to a review of that
particular area.
Develop the audit questionnaire
8/3/2019 ignoumbams-02solvedassignment2011
9/14
mantul.com
Whether conducting a comprehensive audit or an audit of a specific practice, it is important
to invest sufficient time in developing a comprehensive document that elicits information on
all the subjects of the inquiry. A list of specific questions must be developed to ensure that the
questionnaire is complete.
Collect the data
The next phase includes the actual process of reviewing specific areas to collect the data about
the company and its HR practices. Audit team members will use the audit questionnaire as a
roadmap to review the specific areas identified within the scope of the audit.
Benchmark the findings
To fully assess the audit findings, they must be compared with HR benchmarks. This comparison
will offer insight into how the audit results compare against other similarly sized firms.
Typical information that might be internally benchmarked includes the companys ratio of total
employees to HR professionals, general and administrative costs, cost per new employees hired,
etc. Benchmarking might include the number of days to fill a position, average cost of annual
employee benefits, absenteeism rates, etc.
Provide feedback about the results
At the conclusion of the audit process, the audit team must summarize the data and provide
feedback to the companys HR professionals and senior management team in the form
of findings and recommendations. Findings typically are reduced to a written report with
recommendations prioritized based on the risk level assigned to each item (e.g., high, medium
and low). From this final analysis, a roadmap for action can be developed that will help
determine the order in which to address the issues raised. In addition to a formal report, it is
critically important to discuss the results of the audit with employees in the HR department, as
well as the senior management team, so everyone is aware of necessary changes and approvals
8/3/2019 ignoumbams-02solvedassignment2011
10/14
mantul.com
can be obtained quickly.
Create action plans
It is critical actually to do something with the information identified as a result of an audit. The
company must create action plans for implementing the changes suggested by the audit, with the
findings separated by order of importance: high, medium and low. It actually increases legal risk
to conduct an audit and then fail to act on the results
Foster a climate of continuous improvement
At the conclusion of the audit, it is important to engage in constant observation and continuous
improvement of the companys policies, procedures and practices so that the organization never
ceases to keep improving. This will ensure that the company achieves and retains its competitive
advantage. On way to do this is to continuously monitor HR systems to ensure that they are up-
to-date and to have follow-up mechanisms built into every one of them.
Likewise, it is important to keep track of the audit findings/changes made, turnover, complaints
filed, hotline issues, employee survey results, etc. to identify trends in the companys
employment-related issues. Identifying problematic issues, growth areas or declining problem
spots can help in the decision of where to allocate time, money and preventive training resources
in the future.

various roles of which his/her role is a part.

act as significant player in the process of various dimensions of Role Efficacy in an
organizational set up. Give relevant details of the organization, you are referring to for
examples.
