Introduction

According to Wray et al. (1996), human relations involve fitting people into the organization. Organization in this concept could mean work place or an institution of any other nature. This is usually aimed at promoting harmony among the individuals in the organization. For the organization, according to Wray et al. (1996), human relation ensures improved productivity among the individuals. Therefore, if the organization is business oriented, there is usually increased income. On the other hand, human relations ensure economic, psychological and social satisfaction to the individuals. It is this satisfaction that leads to improved productivity. In a workplace set up, satisfied workers will more likely produce more unlike unsatisfied workers. Proper understanding of the human relations skills is very important for everybody in every field. Since human relations affects every field, development plans will very much depend on human relations skills. As such, the field of human relations will have a great impact on the future, and especially the year 2015, the year of fulfilling the Millennium Development Goals.

How the Field of Human Relations Will Impact the Year 2015

Every field requires careful utilization of interpersonal skills. In a work place, the workers benefit from the salaries and wages that they receive from the organization. On the other hand, the organization benefits from the skills owned by the workers. As such, interpersonal skills represent the transferable skills that the organization expects from the worker. Technical ability without interpersonal competence does not possess the power to extract the skills in a worker or a potential worker. According to Wray et al. (1996), a large proportion of ...

  • Asylum Seekers Case Study

    1244 Words  | 3 Pages

    The 2002 Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act abandoned the dispersal policy and voucher scheme and introduced warehousing accommodation in the form of a camp that’s like a prison to house asylum seekers with a separate education and healthcare provision, these finally excludes them from normal community life (Bochel et al, 2009:388). This was highly criticized by NGOs, refugee council, refugee organization and several charitable organizations for refugee and this sometimes led to riots in the detention centre. The 2004-2006 Act further tightens the asylum system and speeded detention and removal by the withdrawal of legal rights (Bochel et al, 2009:388). The home office insist the dispersal policy is going on well whereas on the ground opinion is mixed (Guardian, 27 June 2001) this came up due to the case of some 14 asylum seekers on hunger strike in protest against the poor living condition in the privately run Liverpool tower block. The refugee council has serious concern over the dispersal policy especially as unaccompanied minors are being dispersed alongside adults with no proper resources and support service put in place. Chief executive Nick Hardwick mentioned that for dispersal policy to work government department need to develop proper support services for asylum seekers in dispersing areas and that dumping asylum seekers on poor estate blocks where they cannot access basic services like healthcare and education is leaving them abandoned and vulnerable (Guardian, 27 June 2001). In some situation asylum seekers refused to be dispersed and decide to

  • Refugee Displacement and Identity: Finding Home

    346 Words  | 1 Pages

    When lines of identity inevitably blend, relative jurisprudence must be exercised. Lines make excluding circles and methods of excluding people from asylum; our international community divides into unwelcome and welcome nations. As discourse, cultural identity means translating beliefs and feelings from one culture to another. In the process of translation, a screen of cultural values filters understanding of the values and experience of the “other.” The simple word “refugee” evokes images and stories particular to a collectively defined identity, invoking “an image of the radicalized other” (Daniel 272).

  • Asylum Seekers

    1272 Words  | 3 Pages

    The issue of immigration has plagued the news media as of late. The laws that govern immigration are challenged and dissected. Issues such as illegal immigration, the DACA program and the issuance of asylum are scrutinized and defended daily. In my chosen article What the law says should happen to asylum seekers at the US border by Luke Barr, it discusses the process of individuals who come to the United States seeking asylum and the laws that determine the approval or denying of that status to an individual. The issue of immigration has become a powder keg as it classifies a minority in a light that is barely understood by individuals of the majority population.

  • Immigration : A Change For Immigration

    976 Words  | 2 Pages

    Ever since the Mexican Revolution, immigrants continue to come to the United States in desire for an asylum away from their lives in Mexico. Pull factors of hope entice Children to leave in an attempt to escape the native gangs, poor economies, and even worse living conditions. “Immigration Policy should be generous; it should be fair…. (w)ith such a policy we can trust to the world and to our own past, with clean hands and a clear conscience” (Kennedy 138). The Immigration Act of 1965 created an almost hierarchy for immigrants into the United States. A status of choosing who should come into a country is just, but placing refugees, those whose lives are in danger, near the bottom of the list is not. Many early American Immigrants came to the New World to establish themselves in a...

  • Asylum In The 13th Century

    527 Words  | 2 Pages

    Asylum - a word of Greek origin that means ‘what cannot be seized’ - refers to what is inviolable, and as such it invokes a higher power that offers protection. The reluctant or forced movement of people as refugees away from the Kingdom or State of their nationality or residence to another has been an ages old problem. The practice of asylum can be spotted in ancient history. The Kadesh Peace Treaty - concluded in the 13th century BC - between Ramses II and Hatusil III, king of the Hitittas, constitutes the first international treaty that we have evidence of and it contains protection clauses. In nine provisions, the treaty establishes that the exchange of population between the two sovereigns will only take place on condition that neither

  • Importance Of Job Employability And Job Readiness

    2185 Words  | 5 Pages

    The difference between the skills needed on the job and those possessed by applicants, sometimes called the skills-gap, is of real concern to human resource managers and business owners looking to hire competent employees. While employers would prefer to hire people who are trained and ready to go to work, they are usually willing to provide the specialized, job-specific training necessary for those lacking such skills. Most discussions concerning today’s workforce eventually turn to employability skills. Finding workers who have employability or job readiness skills that help them fit into and remain in the work environment is a real problem. Employers need reliable, responsible workers who can solve problems and who have the social skills and attitudes to work together with other workers. Creativity, once a trait avoided by employers who used a cookie cutter system, is now prized among employers who are trying to create the empowered, high performance workforce needed for competitiveness in today’s marketplace. Employees with these skills are in demand and are considered valuable human capital assets to companies. Employability skills are those basic skills necessary for getting, keeping, and doing well on a job. These are the skills, attitudes and actions that enable workers to get along with their fellow workers and supervisors and to make sound, critical decisions. Unlike occupational or technical skills, employability skills are generic in nature rather than job specific and cut across all industry types, business sizes, and job levels from the entry-level worker to the senior-most position. Job readiness skills are clustered into three skill sets: basic academic skills, higher order thinking skills, personal qualities Employability skills are those basic skills necessary for getting, keeping, and doing well on a job. Employability skills are teachable skills.
