Skill of Human Resource Development Management (HRDM) Professionals Skill #1: Organization HR management requires an orderly approach. Organized files, strong time management skills, and personal efficiency are key to HR effectiveness.
Skill of Human Resource Development Management (HRDM) Professionals Skill # 2 - Multitasking On a typical HR day, an HR professional will deal with an employee’s personal issue one minute, an intermittent leave question the next, and a recruiting strategy for a hard-to-fill job the minute after. And that’s to say nothing of social media, wage/hour, engagement, retention, and a whole host of other things, every one critical to someone.
Skill of Human Resource Development Management (HRDM) Professionals Skill # 3 - Dealing with Grey A surprisingly large percentage of the issues HR managers face are in “the grey area.” Is it discrimination? Is it harassment? What’s a “reasonable” accommodation? How far over backward do you have to lean to approve intermittent leave? HR managers have to be able to act with incomplete and “best available” information, and they have to know when to seek the professional help of colleagues, attorneys, and other experts.
Skill of Human Resource Development Management (HRDM) Professionals Skill # 4 - Negotiation Along with grey comes the need to negotiate—there are often two or more opposing views, and the successful HR pro can find an acceptable middle ground. Remember, the goal of negotiation is to end up with two parties that are satisfied with the outcome, and that’s not often easy to achieve
Skill of Human Resource Development Management (HRDM) Professionals Skill #5 - Communication HR professionals have to communicate up to management, over to managers, out to potential employees, and down to all levels of current employees. And they have to do it in writing, while speaking to large and small groups and, increasingly, through social media. They have to be convincing, caring, and believable.
Skill of Human Resource Development Management (HRDM) Professionals Skill # 6 - Discrete and Ethical HR professionals are the conscience of the company, as well as the keepers of confidential information. As you serve the needs of top management, you also monitor their actions toward employees to be sure that policies and regulations are followed. You need to be able to push back when they aren’t in order to keep the firm on the straight and narrow. Not an easy responsibility!
Skill of Human Resource Development Management (HRDM) Professionals Skill # 7 - Dual Focus Employees expect human resources professionals to advocate for their concerns, yet you must also enforce top management’s policies. The HR professional who can pull off this delicate balancing act wins trust from all concerned.
Skill of Human Resource Development Management (HRDM) Professionals Skill # 8 - Conflict Management and Problem Solving Everyone doesn’t always get along with everyone else. High productivity demands that people work together at least civilly. HR has to find ways to allow that to happen. And that’s to say nothing of the myriad other problems that hit HR’s in-box—you can’t be effective without problem-solving ability.
Skill of Human Resource Development Management (HRDM) Professionals Skill # 9 - Change Management Most companies today are in a constant state of flux. Task forces, matrices, and teams spring into being, do their jobs, and disband as others form. Hierarchies have been squashed, and companies have four or five generations working side by side.

Changes in the labor force The changes in the labor force participation rates over the past couple of decades have been different among the various race and ethnicity groups. The overall labor force participation rate of each race and ethnicity group is a result of the age distribution of the population in each of those groups and the labor force participation rate of each age group. Two intertwined changes have affected the growth of the labor force over the past several decades: changes in the demographic composition of the population and changing labor market choices. The projected labor force growth over the 2014–24 period will be affected by the aging of the baby-boom generation, those born between 1946 and 1964.

The Concept of Employment Relations Employment relations is the study of the regulation of the employment relationship between employer and employee, both collectively and individually, and the determination of substantive and procedural issues at industrial, organisational and workplace levels.
The Concept of Employment Relations Employment relations is concerned with the ‘determination, conduct and regulation of the employment relationship’ and is ‘shaped by legal, political, economic, social and historical contexts’ ( Salamon , 2000: 5, 35, cited in Dibben, Klerck and Wood (2011 ). The employment relationship is where the employee sells their capacity for work in exchange for a wage and other benefits, while the employer hires the employee so that they can produce goods or services, Dibben Klerck and Wood, (2011, Chapter 1).
The Relevance of Employment Relations The study of employment relations is relevant to union and non-union, public, private and voluntary sector organization's because … –Employment Relations is a process of management . – collective relationships exist (works councils, JCCS ) – employee grievances have to be resolved – negotiation and the management of conflict are important – fairness and equity within the workplace are essential – it is important to have good practices and not be known for bad practices.
