Diversified people (Different
from places, skills, background) gathered in one work place and resulted in
larger output. With this an organization needed to have different level of
employees who can operate the machineries, address the technical issues, handle
the customers and suppliers, make decision making etc. Such workplace
environment demanded the well being of the employee in different levels.
During this period Robert Owen (1771-1858) a successful British entrepreneur was one
of the earliest Management thinkers to realize the importance of human
resource. He believed in having a good working environment will bring out the
best out of an employee thus he brought in concepts such as restricted working
hours, restrictions in child labour etc (Management Development Research Foundation,
New Delhi 2001).
Also, Charles Babbage (1791-1871) a British Professor of Mathematics introduced
the concepts of division of labour, employee training and monitoring the performances
of the employees (Management Development Research Foundation, New Delhi 2001).
With these basic concepts, HRM is being taken into great heights. Theories
of Fredric Winslow Taylor, Elton Mayo, Theory X and Theory Y etc., are some of
the highlights. HRM has definitely benefited both the employee and the employer.
The concepts when applied effectively have opened paths to organizations to
perform as a team where the benefits are high for the employee and the
employer. The Employee is been looked after and the Employer is being well
served.
