There have been lots of contributed made by HRM
to improve the organizational performance, discussed in the following.
Increased
work productivity of various human resource management
This is one of the major contributions made by
the HRM to improve the organizational performance and helping in achieving one
big organizational goal. Human resource management takes care of their resource
in the best possible manner in regard to control their human loss and converts
them into more productivity. For Example, multinational companies offers four
weeks annual leaves so that employees gets fresher and get back to work with
high level of motivation (Sarkis, 2019).
Annual leaves is a concept of HR contemporary
theory and this is how they are increasing work productivity of each employees
who enjoys annuals and comes back work to offer more productivity. In case,
there were no annual leaves which would be leading to consistent human loss and
the loss of abilities offering by workers. This would also be the loss of the
organization or employer, annual leaves is the best way to make the best usage
of human resource and control the human loss of own worker. Studies also
support the fact that satisfied and fresh employees are going to give huge
productivity while maintaining the quality which is in the best interest of
organization (Agarwal, 2018).
Increased
work quality of various human resource management
Modern HRM practices and theories contributed a
lot in improving the work quality. For Example, the idea of clean and good
working environment presented by HR theory and then it applies by the employer.
Good working environment allows the employees to make the best usage of
physical and psychological capacity, accordingly offering the high quality work
without errors. The investment in good environment by the employer is recovered
more than ten times through the quality work produced by the employee. In the
bad working environment, the human loss is seriously high which disturbs the
ability of employee even at low quality level. Employees cannot offer high
quality work in bad noisy dirty environment, because they lost their abilities
of working sooner than normal time (Winkler, 2018).
Low
employee turnover of various human resource management
HRM, its theories and practices are also
offering its contribution into the lower employee turnover. Since, Human
resource management is done so well and professionally that employees or
workers wants to stay with the same organization and do not leave workplace.
The higher employee turnover costs the organization because it requires time
and training cost of the new employee. When worker leaves the organization, a
new employee takes much more time to become perfect replacement which means a
business loss meanwhile. Those employees which are enjoying annuals, eight
working hours, good working environment which means the human factor is least
damaging for them and they are more satisfied at their job (Agarwal,
2018).
They do not want to leave the organization and
want to work on the long-term basis which also benefits the organization
through low employee turnover. This is how modern human resource management
practices are going to benefit for both employer and employee. Employer must
not be thinking that this is the wastage of money or rather this is a best
investment. When we calculate the all loss because of high employee turnover,
it would be quite better to invest in HRM practices taking care of employees
and still the big money would be saved.
Innovation
of various human resource management
Organizations like Apple, Google and Microsoft
are believed to be most innovative organizations and all innovation is coming
from their employees. The credit goes to their best and caring human resource
management practices which appreciated the workers and employees to put their
best at work and do not bother about other things in life (Johnson,
2013).
For Example, Apple is offering health care benefits, retirement’s plans,
transportation, housing and good working environment. On the top of that,
Apple’s management also promises flexible working environment which allows the
employees to be working from home or in the nights instead of day. Employees
ask for flexible working environment because they have issues in life and once
they get the permission, they remain in a position to be working harder and
offer some innovative work.
These companies as mentioned above, they have
billions of dollars worth only because they are innovative and unique to the
other companies. When employees are going through normal human loss and the
support is coming from employer which helps employees retaining their physical,
psychological and emotional loss under control. Then all of these results in
innovation and great working coming from the employees. Innovation can produce
billions of dollars for the employer, it would be a big loss for employer
saving few thousands of dollars while preventing best HRM practices at the cost
of stop employees from being innovative (Sarkis, 2019).

Demonstrate a critical understanding of approaches to ethical-based HRM in
organizations.
The HRM practices are developed considering the
ethical concern also and it is always essential, discussed in the following.
Sexual
Harassment of various human resource management
Sexual harassment is more likely to happen
where both genders are working under each other supervision and authority.
Though, mostly cases happen where males are likely to commit sexual harassment
on their female colleagues working under them, a case of taking the advantage. Human
resource management thing is going to deal with it ethically and going to
consider it an ethical concept. This is the reason in modern world and
corporate even an executive employee who commits sexual harassment and now it
is revealed, that executive will be fired in less than a minute. This is all
coming from human resource management practice which is ethical based (Agarwal,
2018).
This is the reason women employees are more empowered and they are not afraid
of working in the male ruling world. This is one of the most ethical based approaches
which developed the HRM policy.
Discrimination
at workplace
Since the modern workplace allows the employees
working together belongs to different religions, cultures and background. The
ethical based approach and idea of no discrimination at workplace was created.
The discrimination between male and female is also not allowed according to
best human resource practices. It used to be very common that male employees
were more likely to be reaching at executive position and controlling the
organization comparing to female employees (Sarkis, 2019). Once the approach
of no discrimination is introduced at workplace, voices are raising when female
employees are not promoted to managerial level. Though, it would be genuinely
possible that male does more deserve for the managerial position, but female
employees have platform when they are discriminated.
Workplace discrimination is not limited to the
gender based discrimination but it is also having on religion or color.
According to the studies, discrimination leaves a huge negative impact upon the
performances of employees who have been discriminated. Therefore, a subject of
HRM realized that such ethical based theories should be presented to raise this
issue at workplace which affects both employer and employee at the end (Agarwal,
2018).
To meet the best HRM practices, HR ensures that a workplace is completely free
from any kind of discrimination and nothing bad is going to happen on the basis
of gender, religion or color.
Minimum
human loss of various human resource management
A human loss is the subject which HRM
emphasized on and makes every effort to reduce the human loss at its best
through HR practices. Therefore, all those ethical based HR approaches used for
the same purpose can be defined in it. For Example, clean, peaceful and good
working environment is one of the approaches where employer is responsible for
providing clean working environment regardless how much money is spent for the
purpose (Winkler, 2018). This ethical based
HR approach forces the employer to spend the money on improving workplace
environment and do not consider it as non-productive investment. Because this
is going to control the human loss and existing employees are more likely to be
working healthier for longer time period. It should be considered as ethically
and not in terms of economics return.
All of the good work and controlling human loss
is being possible by the ethical based HR practices, this shows that HRM has
contributed a lot into the workplace ethics and overall humanity. Before the
human rights and HRM at its best capacity, employees were treated as slaves and
they were taken care of by their employers. The big credit goes to the HRM
practices and its ethical based theories which support the employees and
workers as they have less bargaining power. A well taking care of employee is
also humanity and workers can work throughout their lives if they are well
taken care of (Agarwal, 2018). There is no good if
employer exploits employees and damages their human loss. This is also about
ethics which unfortunately not a big deal in business corporate world.
