another one..

Second consultation had passed and I should be posting this after our consultation but I really dont have a time to surf the net. Anyway, a consultation with Sir RSG was not new to us but we're still nervous anytime we had a meeting with him.

Well, again it's fun. At first, Sir RSG had make fun of us, saying that he should not suppose to check our paper that time because the date indicated in our gantt chart for consultation perion hal already passed. He even told us to leave.(Sir was just kidding.heheü) Determined to finish our major paper earlier, we wait until he sat down and accept our major paper.

In the middle of the consultation one of my group mate Alyssa(gaubo..I dont know what's the right term..hehe)So Sir RSG had offer her strepsils, after that me having a cough also(gaubo.sorry I really dont know what to say.haha) But Sir RSG said that I was just acting so that I could have the strepsils also. In the end, I and Alyssa got the strepsils and thank Sir RSG.

So much for that.hehe There's still a lot of revisions that we should do. But atleast from 10%, our paper have reached up to 50%. And I'm glad for all the corrections of Sir RSG, because of those we have been challenged to do more and get better for our success in the future.

Just this morning, I've seen our grades posted in the faculty room. All of us got an INC grade. But according to Sir, we had until October 17, 2008 to appeal our grades. For us, we will not wait until the deadline. We were very positive that we could finish it earlier and I hope this time our major paper will going to be alright and accepted.ü

I just want to add, before the day of the consultation, my cellphone have been stolen. I was really depressed and I could not see myself without a cp in a day. But thanks to Sir because he lessen my depression because of the 40% he added.hehe

oUr FirSt consultation

September 29, 2008, our first consultation with Sir RSG came into reality..(hehe just exaggerating)

Well, it is really a very nerve-breaking experience for all of us because we have no idea if our paper would be accepted or worst be rejected. That time also,it was mixed emotions because before the consultation we also had to face the most nervous part of being a student, getting our grade on one of our major subject. Fortunately, I had passed our midterms in Prog2.

Anyways back to HRM, the moment Sir RSG uttered words we were just silent and listened carefully to him. It's because some things are running through our mind due to some rumors came out that morning. That is our major paper in HRM is good for one year compilation. Folks, believe me, humors are bad so don't easily deceive by the things you have heard without confirming it. We just misinterpreted what Sir RSG said to the other group.

When Sir RSG check our paper, the very first thing he asked is what is a paragraph? we were all shocked, what is the connection of that question to our paper. The answer is we should avoid using a one sentence paragraph. That's what our paper mostly composed of, a one sentence paragraph.hehe After all the corrections, we had all came up to an idea that before doing a certain paper, we should be consistent on what we are writing for.

I hope that we could finish at the right time and Sir RSG would be satisfy on our second consultation, hopefully next week.

God Bless to us guys..Especially to our group.ü

..oUr fiRst consultation ever..

Its really a very tough day for us. After a long period of time we haven't seen Sir Gamboa. Well he has his reasons,valid reasons to be specific.hehe(peace sir!) Anyway, our first consultation with Sir RSg gives a thought of nervousness to us. Is he going to approve or reject our paper? That's the only thing we could ever thought during that moment.

Maybe we were just very paranoid for having heard some rumors of having an INC in the passbook because he told some our classmates that our major paper required one year to comply. Well, rumors are really bad. We just misinterpreted it. So as we enter the lab1, mixed emotions had arise. But, as Sir RSG said his first observations, it really gives me a relief that if we will just focus on what we are doing, we will gain a lot of great things ahead of us.

VARIOUS DEFINITIONS

Carter McNamara, MBA, PhD defines Human Resources Management (HRM) as being:

“a variety of activities, and key among them is deciding what staffing needs you have and whether to use independent contractors or hire employees to fill these needs, recruiting and training the best employees, ensuring they are high performers, dealing with performance issues, and ensuring your personnel and management practices conform to various regulations. Activities also include managing your approach to employee benefits and compensation, employee records and personnel policies.”

>> Well, it is right for Mr. McNamara to say that in HRM managing the employee is the main job. Also they are responsible in facilitating and choosing the best employee they could hire.
http://www.managementhelp.org/hr_mgmnt/hr_mgmnt.htm



Torrington and Hall (1987) define personnel management as being:

“a series of activities which: first enable working people and their employing organizations to agree about the objectives and nature of their working relationship and, secondly, ensures that the agreement is fulfilled" (p. 49).

>>In their point of view, personnel management could be applicable in the working relationship of the employee. It is how they work together and ensure that they have done the right thing to do for their organization.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personnel_management



Miller (1987) suggests that HRM relates to:

"..those decisions and actions which concern the management of employees at all levels in the business and which are related to the implementation of strategies directed towards creating and sustaining competitive advantage" (p. 352).


>>Like McNamar, Miller stresses that HRM is concern on how employee are treated in an organization. How they are manage to be consistent and more competent in an industry.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personnel_management



(Cherrington, 1995, p. 5). Defines HRM as being:

“ responsible for how people are treated in organizations. It is responsible for bringing people into the organization, helping them perform their work, compensating them for their labors, and solving problems that arise"


>> In this definition, the main responsibility that HRM could give is to treat their employee in accordance to the rules and regulations of the company. Also, to ensure that their people are performing their job and getting the right salary and benefits in exchange to their labors.

http://www.answers.com/topic/human-resource-management



According to the wiki.answers.com, personnel management is:

“Within organizations that employ people, this is the function with policy responsibility for the selection and recruitment of staff, training, performance assessment, career development, disciplinary proceedings, pre-retirement advisory work, equal opportunities policies, pay bargaining, and industrial relations.”


>>In this definition, it emphasizes the responsibility for hiring new employees and giving them equal opportunities in all things . Here also, the trainings and seminars for the employees are being given in order for them to developed their individual skills and capabilities.

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Definition_of_personnel_management

To sum it all, personnel management and human resource management is almost the same.

Personnel management mostly do their role to manage the paperwork around hiring and paying people. While human resource management is responsible in staffing, training and helping to manage people so that people and the organization are performing at maximum capability in a highly fulfilling manner.

So, their main responsibility is to give their employee a great working experience. For them to develop their individual capabilities and at the same time bring success to the company where they work.
