HRM in the eyes of an HR manager

When I was told that we were required to interview a personnel/human resource manager, the first person that came to my mind was Mr.Carlito S. Llano, the HRM manager of LYR Marketing. Even though we haven't scheduled an interview for that day, actually it was more of an ambush interview, he was kind enough to accommodate us. Mr. Llano is an accomplished HR manager and instructor so he always welcome students who would like to learn about the craft that he loves the most.

For him, the role of human resource management deals with issues like compensation, hiring, performance management, organization development, safety, wellness, benefits, employee motivation, communication, administration, and training of the people employed in the company. According to Mr.Llano, the HR manager has provides significant support and advice to line management or the administration. HRM is concerned with all the decisions, strategies, factors, principles, operations, practices, functions, activities and methods related to the management of people as employees in any type of organization.

As what I have understood from Mr.Llano the nature of human resource management is to effectively make use of the talents and abilities of employees to achieve the operational objectives that are the ultimate aim of the organization. The role of HRM is to ensure that the individual employee is satisfied with both the working environment and the compensation and benefits that he or she receives. Yet, the human resource management doesn't have any power to tell off or suspend an employee that isn't in their own office.

From our recent company visits and observations, I can say that LYR Marketing's HRM functions in the manner that Mr.Llano have described. The company really takes care of their employees and they even give their employees a chance to be a stockholder. Its a bit rare for a company to make their employees to be stockholders and from that point of view alone, you can say that they value their people a lot.
