WHY NOT HR?

Most of the MBA’s are under the pressure of selecting their electives, and have no valid reasons or proper guidance to select one. I do have some valid reasons for you to select HR.
Any organization need to have a group of people and it has to deal with that group of people. If you agree with the above statement, then you will have all these…

•Selection/Staffing • Compensation• Law / Legal• Employee Behavior Problems•
Job Analysis• Performance Appraisal •Training and Development• Industry and organization Psychology • Safety measures etc.,

We need experts to handle all the above activities. Some activities can be built –inside the organization and non-core can be out sourced.
In the present scenario of fast changing market , global competition the organizations have realized that they have to spend more time focusing on their core business. Organizations are moving towards outsourcing. Human outsourcing is becoming predominant now.

The companies are going for outsourcing HR activities like payroll administration (producing checks, handling taxes, dealing with sick-time and vacations), employee benefits (Health, Medical, Life insurance, Cafeteria, etc), human resource management (hiring and firing, background interviews, exit interviews and wage reviews), risk management, etc.

It is the role of a HR expert to do employer branding, to make the organization a great place to work in.
With employer branding, reward management, performance appraisal, managing diversity and human outsourcing avenues for HR is becoming wide and complex. I believe HR is not only for a HR expert, but broadly speaking any student of a general management, who is about to manage people like any other resources like materials, machines and money have to concentrate more on Human resources which is highly complex.
