5.3 DIMENSIONS OF PEOPLE MANAGEMENT
1. Managing the Human Resource Environment This dimension concerns a company’s culture, mission and vision. Managing the organizational culture, in a way that it is conducive to enhancing workforce productivity and performance, is the responsibility of HR. 2. Acquisition and Preparation of Human Resources Human resources form the backbone of any organization, making the acquisition of qualified individuals a top priority for senior management. Equally important, skill development of human
resources is a key focus for HR to maximize the potential of employees. 3. Assessment and Development of Human Resources
Talent management and assessment are also the responsibility of HR personnel. Empowering human resources with the required competencies and skills to function successfully in the orga- nization is paramount and a key factor in retention. Developing retention policies and procedures
becomes a necessity in this domain, especially for talented employees. Figure 5.1 summarizes the three dimensions of people management.
