CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDYHuman Resource Management has assumed a vital strategic role in recent years as organizations attempt to compete through people. It is an essential part of every mangers responsibility, but many organizations find it advantageous to establish a specialist division to provide an expert service dedicated to ensuring that human resource function is performed efficiently Erica, (2006). “People are our most valuable assets” is a cliché which no member of any senior management team would disagree with. Yet the reality for many organizations in Nigeria is that their people remain: Undervalued, under trained, poorly motivated and consequently, perform well below their two capabilities.
The rate of change facing organizations in Nigeria has never been greater and organizations must absorb and manage change at a must faster rate than in the past. In order 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, Harold (2003).
Human Resource Management (HRM) is the function within an organization that focuses on recruitment of, management of, and providing direction for the people who work in the organization. Susan M. Heathfield (2001). O’ Donnelly (1998:13) describes human resource management as the process of acquiring, retaining, developing, terminating and most importantly, properly using of human resource in the organization.
In Nigeria many industries are faced with the challenges of evolving strategies for increasing productivity, turnover and profitability in a bid to survive. Until now, most co-operate organizations had mistakenly focused on keeping abreast with changes in technologies and capital at the expense of labour (Onodogu, 2000:168).
Since incorporation of Emenite Nigeria Ltd Enugu in 1961, the company has gained a wealth of experience through meeting the requirements of the construction industry in promoting the development of Nigeria through the manufacture of high and marketing of its fiber cement rooting and ceiling products and supply of high quality goods and services. The company has 606 employees.
Human resource department in Emenite Nigeria Ltd deals with management of people within the organization. First of all, the department is responsible for hiring members of staff; this will involve attracting employees, keeping them in their position and ensuring that they perform to expectation. Human resource in Emenite Ltd sets today to day goals for the organization. They are responsible for organization of people in the entire company and plans for future ventures and objectives involving people in the company by conducting written and oral interviews, for suitable candidates. This task will involve assessment of abilities, skills through practical involvement of applicants in there various fields of study. Most of the time they do not publish there vacancies, it is done internally. They are also responsible for motivating employees. This they do through rewards especially for those who have done well. They evaluate performance of employees and those who have exceeds expectations are compensated for their actions like end of year bonuses, awards, salary increments etc. They plan adequately for all the organization’s future engagements that will involve people. The organization ensures that all the employees under its wing are just enough to increase value to the organization. The department ensure that staff members are not too many because if they exceed this amount, then the organization stands to lose and ensure that staff members are not too few either, so that workers will have a clear direction of which they are working towards.
