This book contains two sections regarding “Human Resource Management”. Discussed topics include HR management at various institutions, job analysis: Dean, job posting and recruitment strategies, candidate selection criteria, strategic plan for diversity and inclusion, new hire orientation packet (an example), and employee training and development plan. The management of human resources can be thought of as a strategic partner to the university that would enrich incoming students with further development and continuous education. Human resources functions can be divided into three broad categories: compliance, service, and advisory. A Human Resource Management (HRM) strategic plan communicates organizational goals and objectives with a strategic plan of achievement through HR initiatives, policies, and functions. Recruiting strategies, including excellent job postings and advertising, must promote the application of diversity by making sure that the HR people are considering applicants with different backgrounds, races, and talents. The implementation of effective HRM would ensure that we can have strategically implemented practices for seeking the satisfaction of current and incoming students and employees.

Further discussions on related topics are challenges and roles, labor laws, diversity and job postings, total rewards, employee engagement, onboarding and training, and social media policy. The role of HRM people arises from their contribution to functioning recruitment, placement, training, appraisal, compensation, and employee relations. Total rewards and diversity are interrelated because diversity won’t be possible without offering compensation marketed to various locations and states, with no inclination towards any group. Training of incoming employees can be achieved via different approaches including E-learning courses, traditional courses, and job-shadowing or mentoring; onboarding new employees requires creating an extensive training program that will help newcomers feel belonging and are part of the organization.
