HRM Paradoxes
1. Supporters of HRM claim that the field has grown from IR to PM to HRM
to HCM, claiming that HR manager now plays a strategic role in a firm
unlike in the past when it was purely an administrative function
2. Supporters of HRM claim that the HR manager is a change agent and a
transformational leader, and his or her function is panacea for all
organisational ills and societal evils
3. An Arthur Andersen survey showed that Human Resources (HR)
executives were missing two things that could improve their
effectiveness—support from top management and sufficient financial
resources
4. HRM is not much sought after course in academics. At top IIMs, less than
2 per cent of the students opt for HR subject

Personnel Policies
Policies
It is a statement of intention committing the management to a general course of action
without spelling out the detailed procedure by which it has to be implemented. Example are :
– Policy of hiring people with due respect to factors like reservation, sex, marital status, and the like
– Policy with regard to medical assistance
There are five principal sources for determining the content and meaning of policies:
– past practice in the organization
– prevailing practice in rival companies
– attitudes and philosophy of founders of the company as also its directors and the top
management
– attitudes and philosophy of middle and lower management
– the knowledge and experience gained from handling countless personnel problems on a day-to-
day basis
– Policies must be stable. Stability creates a climate of security and removes uncertainty from the
minds of employees

From PM to HRM to HCM
17
POMCL ZC441Human Resource Management BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus
Imperatives for HCM
• Not all organisations are ripe to implement HCM. It works best where:
– The organisation is a people-oriented relatively large business
– The environment is not simple and stable
– The bsuiness has investors or stakeholders who are interested in the medium to longer term
– The organisation is focused on growth through differentiation rather than cost leadership
– The organisation is managed strategically
– Planning is bottom-up as well as top-down
– The organisation acknowledges complexity and is based on networks and relationships rather
than structures and hierarchies
– Managers take responsibility for people management
– The culture is relatively sophisticated
– The organisation uses technology effectively
