This department has come a long way from the "Personnel Department." A lot of it has to due with court cases and the realization that HR has a place in a company to educate its workforce, benefits, compliance, etc.

By having an HR department, they are able to make sure employees are acting appropriately in the workforce (in relation to sexual harassment or violence), hire/fire appropriately (without causing litigation or an adverse effect on employee selection), take care of benefits (enrolling employees, choosing benefits that will aid employees health-mental/physical), training the workforce, helping managers track employees career performance, and even the presence of someone to talk to is still important for an employee's voice to be heard. This all builds the companies workforce in helping retain people, attractive new talent, and motivate employees to work on the company's mission and goals.

In my own experience, I have seen companies that have not had an HR Department (mostly because of pure size) and it usually results in chaos and missing regulation deadlines. However, I have also seen very ineffective HR Department that do not have the knowledge or drive to embrace all functions of HR. It will depend majorly on the type of people in this department and how the higher ups respect their opinions and presence in the board room.

How human resources involve in management process?

An organisation's management of their human resources, or put simply - its people, is strongly linked to the current and future performance of the organisation in meeting its strategic goals/business objectives. Human Resources Management can significantly enhance the quality of relationships within the organisation, including the day-to-day management of staff by their managers. The skills and abilities of line management in getting the most out of their staff obviously impact on the extent to which Human Resource Management, in this form, has a meaningful advisory or guidance role to play. Some of the other ways that a Human Resources Management function could be involved in the management process relate to the quality and relevance of the performance appraisal system, the hiring/firing of staff, the wider culture of the organisation (which management is ultimately responsible for sustaining), the policies and procedures that the management of the organisation wishes to adopt in order to maximise employee engagement and decisions that relate to how the organisation's staff are remunerated. In short, effective Human Resource Management requires organisational "buy-in" from management so that the function is given the freedom and full capacity to deliver more productive outcomes for, and back to, the whole organisation. The reciprocal question to ask might be "How is management involved in the management of its human resources (Human Resources Management function)?".
