Objectives and Goals of HRM

The primary objective of HRM is to ensure the right person at the right place at the right time for the right job so that the organizational goals are achieved effectively.

However, the Objectives of HRM can be roughly divided into four categories:

1. Societal Objectives, 

2. Organizational Objectives, 

3. Functional Objectives and 

4. Personnel Objectives.

Societal Objectives seek to ensure that the organization becomes socially responsible for the needs and challenges of society while minimizing the negative impact of such demands upon the organization. The failure of the organizations to use their resources for society’s benefit in ethical ways may lead to restriction. 

Organizational Objectives recognize the role of HRM in bringing about organizational effectiveness. It makes sure that HRM is not a standalone department, but rather a means to assist the organization with its primary objectives. The HR department exists to serve the rest of the organization. 

Functional Objectives, it is to maintain the department’s contribution at a level appropriate to the organization’s needs. Human resources are to be adjusted to suit the organization’s demands. The department’s value should not become too expensive at the cost of the organization it serves.

Personnel Objectives, it is to assist employees in achieving their personal goals, at least as long as these goals enhance the individual’s contribution to the organization. Personal Objectives of employees must be met if they are to be maintained, retained and motivated. Otherwise, employee performance and satisfaction may decline giving rise to employee turnover.
