CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1    BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

The world today has become computerized, where most manually done task are now automated for versatility, flexibility, accuracy and efficiency. Most companies in Nigeria and also abroad has found the use of computer irresistible in managing many of  their fares like payroll, human resource management, inventory management, contact management and so on. The human resources management (HRM) function includes a variety of activities, and key among them is deciding what staffing needs you have and whether to use independent contractors or hire employees to fill these needs, recruiting and training the best employees, ensuring they are high performers, dealing with performance issues and ensuring your personnel and management practices conform to various regulations. Activities also include managing your approach to employee benefits and compensation, employee records and personnel policies. Usually small businesses (for – profit or men – profit) have carry out these activities themselves because they cannot yet afford part or full time help. However, they should always ensure that employees have and also aware of personnel policies which conform to current regulations. These policies are often in the form of employee manuals which all employees have.

Human resource management (HRM), in the sense of getting things done through people. It is an essential part of every manager’s responsibilities,but many organizations find it advantageous to establish a specialist division to provide an expert service dedicated to ensuring that the human resource function is performed efficiently. “People are our most valuable asset” is a Cliche which no member of any senior management team would disagree with. Yet reality for many organizations is that their people remain:

Under valued

Under trained

Under utilized

Poorly motivated and consequently

Perform well bellow their true capability.

The rate of change facing organization has never been greater and organizations must absorb and manage change at a much faster rate than in the past. In other to implement a successful business strategy to face this challenge, organizations, large or small, must ensure that they have the right people capable of delivering the strategy. The market place for talented, skilled people is competitive and expensive. Taking on new staff can be disruptive to existing employees. Also it takes time to develop cultural awareness product/process/organization knowledge and experience for new staff members.

As organization varies in size, aims, function, complexity, construction, the physical nature of their product and appeal as employers, so do the contributions of human resource management. But, in most, the ultimate aim of the function is to “ensure that all times the business is correctly staffed by the right number of people with the skills relevant to the business needs”, that is neither over staffed nor understaffed in hatal or in respect of any one discipline or work grade.
