CHAPTER II HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AT RBNL For any business to run one needs four Ms namely Man, Money, Machine and Material. Managing other three resources other than men, are easy to handle. Men are very difficult to handle because no two human beings are similar in all way. Human beings can think, feel and give response. Handling humans is more important for any business because human being have crucial potential that may be very profitable for the business. And these potential can be developed to an unlimited extent if they are provided with proper environment. So the function of managing men is as important as finance or marketing function in any business.

HRM refers to practices and policies framed for the management of human resources in an organization, including Recruiting, screening, rewarding and appraising.

Human resources have at least two meanings depending on context. The original usage derives from political economy and economics, where it was traditionally called labor, one of three factors of production. The more common usage within corporations and businesses refers to the individuals within the firm, and to the portion of the firm's organization that deals with hiring, firing, training, and other personnel issues. This article addresses both definitions.

The objective of Human Resources is to maximize the return on investment from the organization's human capital.

THE SCOPE OF HRM is indeed very vast. All major activities in the working life of a worker-from the time of his or her entry into the organization until he or she leaves- come under the purview of HRM.

Specifically, the activities include are

HR Planning

Job analysis and design

Recruitment and selection

Orientation and placement

Training and development

Performance Appraisal and Job evaluation

Employee and executive remuneration

Employee Motivation

Employee Welfare

It is the responsibility of human resource managers to conduct these activities in an effective, legal, fair, and consistent manner.
