Human resources is a term used to describe the individuals who comprise the workforce of an organization, although it is also applied in labor economics to, for example, business sectors or even whole nations. Human resources is also the name of the function within an organization charged with the overall responsibility for implementing strategies and policies relating to the management of individuals (i.e. the human resources). This function title is often abbreviated to the initials 'HR'. Human resources is a relatively modern management term, coined in the 1960s. The origins of the function arose in organizations that introduced 'welfare management' practices and also in those that adopted the principles of 'scientific management'. From these terms emerged a largely administrative management activity, co-ordinating a range of worker related processes and becoming known, in time as the 'personnel function'. Human resources progressively became the more usual name for this function, in the first instance in the United States as well as multinational corporations, reflecting the adoption of a more quantitative as well as strategic approach to workforce management, demanded by corporate management and the greater competitiveness for limited and highly skilled workers.

I am starting a human resources/consulting business in the Pacific Northwest, and I want to work with companies with a large Hispanic workforce. Asked by karel_97005 - Thu Nov 1 18:53:50 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. You would want to join as many hispanic/latino civic organizations as possible, AND, also join the hispanic chamber of commerce and your regular chamber of commerce. You'll need a big box of business cards and a simple website. I'm sure you'll do well, but you gotta get out there and start rubbing elbows with the movers and shakers.

My ultimate goal is to become an HR Director at a big company. I am trying to do research about it but I don't even know where to start. Can anyone provide a good website with good info? Or tell me what degree I should pursue? Asked by sakalynda - Wed Jan 2 12:33:49 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. HR at that level typically requires a Master's Degree. There are many master's programs in the US for HR. The top three, in my opinion are Cornell, University of Illinois at Urbana and University of Minnesota. Minorities have better opportunities in this field than non-minorities. Society for Human Resource Professionals - or SHRM might be a good tool for you to research on the internet.
