Introduction
In today's rapidly changing and highly competitive environment, the human resource function plays an increasingly
important role in an organization's ultimate success or failure. Where success was once dependent upon an
organization's ability to discover and manage natural resources, success today goes to the organizations that most
effectively discover and manage their human resources. Leading the people is not just for creating a “feel good”
atmosphere all around, it is about infusing the right attitudes and behaviors required for winning fair and square at
marketplace.

In a world of increasingly scarce resources, activities that fail to add value are not worth pursuing…The HR value
proposition means that HR practices, departments, and professionals produce positive outcomes for key stakeholders
– employees, line managers, customers, and investors”. Unfortunately, in some organizations HR is still not seen as
an occupational group that delivers value to key stakeholders.

The value created by the HR function is frequently questioned by Senior and Line managers. This reflects how many
human resources functions are perceived to be out of step with the needs of businesses. Human Resources is under
increasing pressure to move from transaction management and oversight responsibilities to a strategic function that
positively impacts organizational results. Implementing innovations to your organization isn’t just about doing HR
better, but also about delivering business value. The traditional factors that executives typically consider in
calculating return on investment - reduced administrative costs and HR staff-to employee ratio, for instance - are
limited. Improving the entire company’s productivity is the priority.

There’s a growing consensus among HR Professionals that the modern HRMS has already squeezed all the
inefficiencies possible from transactions and reduced HR staff as much as it can. Now, as HR moves processes to
the web, the measures of success will be increased productivity and added business value. Traditionally, HR has
been tasked with much of the responsibility for these critical tasks.

Value added system

1. The status of HRM should be increased in senior management view. Unless senior management consider
HRM function of the company to be an important and integral part of the company overall operations by
financing it accordingly and acknowledging its contribution, the true potential of HRM to create
competitive advantage for the company would be difficult to realize. Possible challenges in that aspect
would be unwillingness or incompetency of senior level management to place due attention in HRM of a
company.
2. HRM programs for staff training and development should be improved. Currently human resources devise
training and development programs in order to increase the efficiency of the workforce. However,
sometimes such courses do not produce intended results and cost expensive for the company. The contents
of HR staff training and development programs should be improved and the results of the programs should
be assessed after a certain period of time in order to increase the efficiency of the programs.
3. Employees should be trained and developed constantly. In order for the company to respond to the
challenges of the 21st century its employees should possess required knowledge and qualification.
Therefore the practice of HRM to implement training and development programs in a reactive manner and
only to a certain group of employees is out of date. Today, proactive approach on the matter should be
implemented by developing every employee on a constant basis. The possible challenges for this
recommendation can be that companies may not implement constant development programs for every
employee because of the expenses involved, and the workforce may not be enthusiastic about such
programs.
4. Human resources should benefit from global workforce. One of the main advantages of the globalization is
that today employees can be hired from the other part of the world without any problems involved. If taken
advantage of, it gives HRS the benefits of attracting bright employees in a lower price. However, there is a
risk that the new employee may not fit into the company culture, or may leave the company after initial
training for various reasons costing company money. Nevertheless, these risks can be minimized if the
matter is approached in a professional manner.
 5. HRM should focus more on staff motivation. Increased competition in markets means employees have to
work harder and achieve greater results. It is an impossible task to achieve if the level of motivation of the
workforce is low. Motivating the workforce is the task of both managers in all levels and the HR. If
managers motivate the staff mainly using their soft skills and other motivational tools, it is the task of the
HRM to devise programs which are aimed at increasing staff motivation.
6. HRM should support flexible working schedule. Currently the advantages of flexible working schedule are
not realized fully by many HR departments of companies. Flexible working schedules have the advantages
of greater employee satisfaction and performance and saving the costs for the company. Moreover, the
tendency indicates this form of employment to increase in the 21st century. Accordingly, HR departments
in companies should devise programs which not only supports such type of employment, but also ensures
that the skills and knowledge of employees working in flexible schedule are used in a best efficient
manner.
