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.

The human resources manager wants a program that calculates the result if she gives an employee a raise in sal?
Q. The human resources manager wants a program that calculates the result if she gives an employee a raise in salary. The output is the projected salary with the raise. The input is the current salary and the percentage increase expressed as a decimal (for example, 0.04 for a 4 percent raise). Design the interactive screen, then draw a flowchart for a program that accepts the input and produces the report.

A. You only need to look at the question to formulate the answer. Skip the interactive screen for now because that is only a 5-minute art activity. Look at what is being asked by examining the verbs and the subjects in the sentence. Who or what will do these Actions? Human resource personnel, computer What will they do? Input data to raise the salaries of people in the company by 4% What will then happen? Computer will accept the data, then change the current data by 0.04 What will be the last part? Computer will produce a report showing the increases. You have your answer by looking at the question.

How to build a career in Human Resources with a Labor Relations Degree?
Q. I graduated from college with a BA degree in Labor and Industrial Relations in 2004. I am planning on going back home to New York City to begin find a job in Human Resources that I can lead to a career in a speciality. Does any one know if HR pays really well for a entry-level position and if they are any good HR agencies in New York City.
Asked by lovej20 - Wed Jul 26 14:37:53 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I work in HR and entry-level positions anywhere pay about mid-range (30,000-40,000). In regards to labor relations I would suggest a master's degree as well. The master's programs I am familiar with focus more in depth into the HR/Labor Relations realm. I am based out of Chicago so I am not familiar with any agencies in NY. Best wishes and I have found HR to be a rewarding career.

What should I major in to have a career in Human Resources?
Q. I'm currently majoring in Communications and am almost done w/ my second year in school...Will that be sufficient to obtain a career in Human Resources? Is there a list somewhere that I can look at to see what schools actually offer majors or concentrations in Human Resources?
Asked by xoxmissjxox - Fri Mar 30 14:35:50 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You should major in human resources. Most universities now have this as a major. You could also major in business management, getting more of a general business degree but I would recommend a HR major.
