Executive summary
The human resource management department is one of the most important departments in
organizations. This is the department which directly deals with the welfare of the employees and
thus highly determines how the organizations will perform. In this paper, we shall discuss the
role of human management in organizations where we shall focus on the major challenges which
face employees in organizations, and how the employees and their problems should be managed
for organizations to succeed. We shall take a case study of Rescue and Care for Wildlife
organization, which is an organization with a great diversity of employees and deals with
offering care and rehabilitation services to injured wild animals and animals which have been
abandoned by their parents. In the research, we came up with some questionnaire questions
which helped us to understand the major challenges faced by the employees of Rescue and Care
for Wildlife, and this helped us to come with some recommendations which can be implemented
to address these problems. The research revealed that some of the most common problems faced
by the organization are communication problems, discrimination problems, cultural disrespect,
among other problems. These problems are caused by poor communication, poor management,
and diversity issues in the organization. To address these problems, the management staff or
Rescue and Care for Wildlife should first understand these problems, and then come up with
some appropriate strategies as we shall discuss in the recommendation section, and this will help
to address these problems.

Introduction and research problem
Human resource management most commonly abbreviated as HRM is a broad term which
is used to describe the formal terms which are normally devised to manage the people and the
resources in organizations (Armstrong and Taylor, 2014). Basically, a human resource manager
is normally assigned three major duties which are staffing of the organization, taking care of the
welfare of the employees by making sure all the employees get their compensations and all the
other benefits they are entitled to get, and designing and defining all the tasks or work which
should be done in the organization (Collings, Wood, and Szamosi, 2018, pp.1-23). For any
organization to be successful, the human resource manager has to perform all his/her duties
diligently and must cooperate well with all the other management staff and employees to make
sure all the operations of the organization run smoothly and as expected.
In this paper, we shall discuss effective human management in organizations where we
shall consider the management of Rescue and Care for Wildlife organization which will help us
to understand how good and effective human resource management should be conducted and
how essential is good human resource management in organizations (Bratton and Gold, 2017).
This paper will give a detailed analysis of the management of the Rescue and Care for Wildlife
organization which will help us to understand the management strategies and principles which
are used by the human resource manager and his other management team and the entire

5
workforce of the organization to make sure this organization performs all its duties well to be
successful. Rescue and Care for Wildlife is an organization which mainly deals with providing
extensive care and rehabilitation of the wild animals which are injured or the animals which have
been abandoned by their parents, and their lives remain to be at great risks if they are not taken
care of. The paper will focus on the management aspect where we shall see how the organization
is managed to make sure all the staff and employees carry out their assigned duties as required
for these world animals get the care they require to survive.
Major problems in the organization
There are many problems faced in the organization some of the major problems being
some misunderstandings and some conflicts which arise among the employees, incompetency,
and recklessness of some employees, discrimination of some employees, communication
problems, among other problems. Most of these problems result from biodiversity in the
organization, and so, biodiversity problem will be the major problem of investigation since it’s
the mother of all these other problems. By doing this report about effective human resource
management, we’ll be able to come up with some solutions which can be used to solve
biodiversity issues and problems in the organization, and this will help to improve the
performance of the organization (Őnday, 2016, pp.31-51)
The research questions
How can the problem of biodiversity in the organization be reduced?
What’s the major impact(s) of the biodiversity problem faced by the organization?

6
How can the communication problem in the organization be reduced?
What management strategies or principles can be applied at Rescue and Care for Wildlife to
improve the performance of its employees?
The main aim of the research
The main aim of the research is to solve the major problems faced by the management
team and employees of Rescue and Care for Wildlife and thus enhance its operation which will
help to save the lives of the injured animals and animals abandoned by their parents.
To achieve this aim, the paper will be divided into different sections which will address
different aspects about the management of the organization. The major sections which will be
included in the paper are an introduction (already done), literature review, methodology,
findings, discussion, recommendations, and limitations and conclusion sections.
Theoretical background– a literature review
From the available literature, we learn that there are many and different challenges or
problems which affect different organizations (Stone and Deadrick, 2015, pp.139-145). These
challenges or problems are different in different organizations and are caused by different
circumstances. These challenges limit the performance of the organizations and need to be
addressed accordingly else they can end up ruining the organizations completely to the extent of
making them collapse (Thompson, 2017, pp.2-9). The human resource managers and their
management teams together with the employees working in organizations have been found to be

7
among the main causes of many challenges which face organizations, and so they are the people
who can work together to solve most of the challenges which face their organizations. According
to research which was done by Pfeffer (2014), poor planning is one of those major challenges
which face many organizations and make the organizations collapse if not handled appropriately.
Planning is one of the major functions of the human resource managers and his management
teams, and so we can see that most of the challenges which face organizations come us a result
of poor management which should be done by the human resource manager and his teams who
altogether control all the other employees in organizations (Kerzner and Harold, 2017). On their
research, Connell, Nankervis, and Burgess (2015) also agreed with the argument of Pfeffer that
planning is very necessary for any business to succeed and achieve its goals. They argued that
workforce planning is very important in businesses as it helps them to secure the appropriate
talents and acquire adequate amounts of the talents which help them to achieve their dreams or
goals of their operations.
Even with good planning, the employees play a very crucial role in the overall
performance of any organization. So, while coming up with plans of how to succeed and achieve
their objectives, organizations need to consider their employees and their interests to incorporate
them accordingly in their plans. The employees have a direct effect on the performance of any
organization since they are directly involved in doing different activities or duties in the
organizations (Dugguh and Dennis, 2014, pp.11-18). Their activities or assigned duties are the
ones which add up to define the overall performance of the organizations. Therefore, the human
resource manager and his management team should always consider the interests of the
employees and implement them in their plans which are meant to improve the performance of

8
the organization. Good management of the employees and their interests helps organizations to
thrive well (Erickson, 2017, pp.127-158). For proper management of employees and their
interests, the management of organizations must first check whether the employees are facing
any difficulties or any challenges which limit them from performing efficiently. Knol, Janssen,
and Sol (2014) argued that for any organization to manage its employees efficiently, it must first
check and address the challenges or difficulties faced by the employees which limit their
performance, and by addressing these challenges the organizations will be able to manage the
employees efficiently and achieve maximum benefits from their highly important services. These
authors also noted a significant communication gap which exists in organizations which make it
a bit hard to address the employees’ interests when coming up with organizational development
plans. It’s normally hard for the organizations’ leaders to address all the internal workplace
issues which face the employees since there exists a significant gap of communication between
the leaders of the organizations and the employees (Knol, Janssen and Sol, 2014). This problem
becomes even worse in organizations experiencing biodiversity issues where the employees and
the leaders may have many demographic differences. In such organizations, the employees find
it very hard to share their challenges with the leaders or the management teams of their
organizations, and this makes most of the development plans made by the leaders of such
organizations to fail. Therefore, organizations must come up with a solution to enhance the
communication between the employees and the leaders of the organizations, and this will be of
great help to the performance of the organizations since all the development plans which will be
made in the organizations will always incorporate the interests of the leaders and the employees,
