HRM is useful not only to organization, but the employees working therein, and also the society at large also find it useful. The objectives can be as under:
1. Organizational Objectives:
HRM is a means to achieve efficiency and effectiveness. It serves other functional areas, so as to help them to attain efficiency in their operations and attainment of goals to attain efficiency.
Acquiring right man for the right job at right time in right quantity, developing through right kind of training, utilizing the selected workforce, and maintaining the workforce are the organizational objectives of HRM. Succession planning is an important issue to be taken up as a contemporary organizational objective.
2. Functional Objectives:
HRM performs so many functions for other departments. However, it must see that the facilitation should not cost more than the benefit rendered.
3. Personal Objectives:
In today’s world there is shortage of requisite talent. Employees are encouraged by competitive firms to change the jobs. HRM has the responsibility to acquire, develop, utilize, and maintain employees.
This would be possible only when the HRM helps employees to achieve their personal goals to get their commitment. Creating work-life balance for the employees is a personal objective.
4. Societal Objectives:
HRM must see that the legal, ethical, and social environmental issues are properly attended to. Equal opportunity and equal pay for equal work are the legal issues not to be violated. To take care of farmers (whose land has been acquired for the factory) and tribal’s (who are displaced by industries and mining companies) are the ethical issues.
