Human Resource ManagementHuman resource managers are tasked with ensuring that a company's employees are in alignment with the overall goals of the organization. This is not a simple process and requires careful attention to several aspects of the business process. HR must address legal issues, planning, recruitment, selection, development and training, compensation, safety and health, and employment relations. When management is able to combine all of the elements listed above, then they will be able to maximize the overall mission of the company. EEO and Affirmative Action When considering human resource management, a good starting point would be to focus on the legal environment of the company. Closely following business law is extremely important for businesses, largely because of the financial implications associated with employee lawsuits. “Defending against legal violations can require a lot of organizational time, energy and money (Youssef, C. 2015). » It is also important to realize that these laws and employee rights were put in place to protect workers from abuse and mistreatment. Employees who feel like they are not being treated properly become discouraged, which leads to lower productivity. So, not only does complying with the law save businesses money by avoiding court battles, but it will also increase employee productivity and efficiency. These resulting increases in worker satisfaction will also lead to significant production and income gains. The organization responsible for investigating and enforcing any cases of employee discrimination is called the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or EEOC for short. The types of discrimination that one could use the EEOC to use are a "par...... middle of paper ......ob where management completely ignored the concerns of many employees."

After the resolution, everyone's morale was restored and productivity completely increased. This showed me how important it is to hear your employees' concerns. In conclusion, it is now easy to see how each aspect of human resource management can affect an employee's satisfaction with their career. When employees' happiness levels increase, they become more productive. This increase in productivity will result in a more successful and competitive business. Every aspect of employment plays a major role in human resource management and organizations must pay special attention to each key element..
