About Introduction to Human Resource Management

GoConqr Original

What this page covers

This unit page collects material on the basics of managing people at work. Most of it is mind maps, with flashcard decks, quizzes, notes and a few slide sets alongside. Topics include the functions of HR, workforce planning, job analysis, recruitment and selection, training, rewards, employee relations and talent management.

Where to start

Begin with the big picture. The mind map on the functions and evolution of human resource management defines the field as a strategic approach to managing an organization's workers. Next, open The Importance of Human Resource Management, which looks at the human factor, teamwork, productivity and quality of working life. The mind map called Human Resource Management lists the main functions in a numbered set, from manpower planning to industrial relations.

Going deeper, topic by topic

  1. Planning: the mind map HUMAN RESOURCES walks through a workforce plan, from assessing current employees to comparing demand and supply. The note HR Strategy and Planning gives large-company examples.
  2. Hiring: HRM Recruitment and Selection covers job analysis, the recruitment and selection phases, and how reliable selection methods are.
  3. Pay and people: Compensation & Benefits, Training and Employee relations take you through the rest of the employee journey.

Using maps and quizzes together

Read a map first, then close it and try to rebuild the branches from memory. After that, take a quiz such as Chapter 1 Introduction to HRM or Chapter 4 Job Analysis to see which areas feel shaky. Flashcard decks such as HUMAN RESOURCE PLANNING and REWARD SYSTEMS are handy for key terms. Some resources are written for particular courses, including business studies and professional HR certification, so check that a resource matches your own syllabus.

Where this unit fits

This unit sits in the strand Foundations of Human Resource Management, within the subject Human resources. It is the natural place to begin before narrower topics. Choose one map today and see how much you can recall.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the mind map on the functions and evolution of human resource management. It defines the field and gives an overview. Then try The Importance of Human Resource Management, and the mind map called Human Resource Management, which sets out the main functions in order.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself, so styles and depth vary. It's worth skimming a few before settling on the ones you prefer.

Is there anything for quiz practice?

Yes. There are over 100 quizzes on this page. Examples include Chapter 1 Introduction to HRM, Chapter 4 Job Analysis, Chapter 11 Establishing Strategic Pay Plans and PHR/SPHR REVIEW EXAM 1. Use them after reading a map to check what you remember.

Which levels and exams do these resources suit?

Most resources suit university students and professional candidates, with a smaller share for school students. Titles and excerpts mention exams such as GCSE Business Studies, A-level Business, IB Business Management, HSC Business Studies, PHR and SHRM. Check that a resource fits your own course first.

What do the mind maps cover?

They cover recruitment and selection, job analysis and design, workforce plans, training, development, performance management, diversity and equal opportunities, talent management and staff welfare. Others look at the origins of HRM, rewards, employee relations and organizational change.

What if I can't find the topic I need?

Try a nearby resource first. Topics often appear under different names, such as Recruiting and Selecting Staff or Employee Recruitment. If a gap remains, a free account lets you save your quiz scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
