3. EVOLUTION IN HRM During the past half century, there has been an evolution from Personnel Management to Employee/Industrial Relations to Human Resource Management. The head of a company's HR department has moved from a transaction-based role, reporting to an administrative manager, to being a member of senior management, reporting to the senior line executive and participating in the executive decision process.

4. CON T………. Despite that progress, Human Resources is often a low-influence function in senior management. In many cases, HR does not exert the influence in people management decisions its role and reporting relationship suggest it should. In some cases, the senior HR role has been used to showcase female or minority selections at the senior management level, whether or not they are highly qualified for that role. The idea is to signal that people in protected classes can attain senior executive positions, even if they have not attained key operating roles in the organization .

6. BOTTOM LINE Human resource professionals act as mediators between an organization’s management and its workers. This requires wearing many hats: It’s an HR administrator’s job to make sure that employees are working in a safe environment ,that disputes are settled, and that benefits are understood and administered properly. At the same time, HR is charged with recruiting new employees who will not only fit in personally and professionally but also help the company achieve its business goals.

9. THE JD OF VARIOUS HRs Human Resources Assistant This position is a support role in the human resources department. An assistant has to have a good grasp of the concepts, practices, and procedures within a particular field, all while working within the guidelines set by a manager.

40. THE RISING SUN OF HRCONSULTANCIES The service sector contributes to more than 50% of India's economy. In the last decade Human Resource Consulting has emerged from management consulting, as an organization's needs have become more complex and specialized, widening the gap between HR needs and work force capabilities. HR consultancies have evolved the classic 'personnel administration' function to one that enables business growth through planned talent acquisition, development and retention. These consultancies link with an organization's service excellence teams in driving projects that help continuous process improvement with tangible benefits. .
