Human Resources Management

Human Resources Management

Human resources management is a huge part of every company and

business and without it there would be no businesses or companies.

Because it plays such a big role it is vital that it is used correctly

and employees are treated fairly and enjoy their work so that their

morale is high if not productivity and profits will fall.

One company that I will analyse to see if their HRM is how it should

be or not is Ladbrokes. A large betting company. The accident group

believed that treating employees nicely would probably increase their

morale, productivity of the company and the profits of the company.

Ladbrokes have improved in their HRM because one of the employees was

sacked by a text message before they started improving. This is an

example of very bad human resource management and it is not done

ethically. Also people who worked there Ladbrokes made them start on

minimum wage. This is demotivation which meant the employees work rate

would drop and so would their morale which means productivity and

profits would be affected.

Ladbrokes have improved now and have changed the way of their HRM.

Before they improved everyone who started there was on minimum wage,

which was poor pay there was discrimination, some harassment and

bullying. But now it has changed Ladbrokes is more responsible and

they have flexible employees so if someone wanted to work part time

they can work hours that suited them because they have recruited more

staff as well. The employers are more flexible as well. So the morale

of all the staff has increased since it has changed because its better

pay and the people who work there say it is more like a family

environment at the work place and they all support each other so there

is no discrimination or bullying. So Ladbrokes have changed for the

better and their productivity and profits have probably risen because

of the improvements in HRM.

Another company that was a bad example of HRM was Enron.
