2HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Introduction
Human resource management can be defined as the formal process that is developed
for the proper management of individuals within the organizations. The major responsibilities
of the human resource managers are mainly based on three major areas, staffing, benefits and
employee compensation. The major purpose of HRM is based on the ways by which
productivity levels can be maximized with the help of proper optimization of the
effectiveness levels of the employees 1. A major mission of the human resource management
is to acquire, develop and further retain the talent as well. The proper alignment of the
activities with the workforce is based on the ways by which high levels of contribution can be
provided to the operations of different business operations 2.
The report will be based on the analysis of the ways by which jobs can be designed in
order to enhance the levels of innovative behaviour in the organizations. The organization
that has been considered for the analysis is CERA. The organization has been facing major
levels of issues based on the ways by which jobs can be designed. Another major part of the
discussion is based on the diversity management process that is developed by the
organization. The organizational operations and human resource management process of
CERA will be analysed in the report in detail.
Option 1 – Work design pilot at CERA
The need for innovative employees in the organizations have increased in the last few
years. The success levels of different organizations are based on the ways by which the
organizations are able to manage the levels of innovations. The process of job designing is

able to play a major role in the improvement of innovation behaviour in the industry. The
process that is used for distinguishing between the blue collar and white collar employees is
also based on the designing of the jobs 3.
As discussed by Černe et al. (2017), innovation has started becoming a central
concern for the organizations and the process of mobilizing levels of innovative potential of
the employees has also become important. The HR managers have started facing major levels
of issues based on development of a proper work environment in the organizations in order to
foster high levels of innovation. In this environment the development of job designs has
become a major challenge for the organizations and the HR managers as well. The
development of high performance work systems or HPWS is considered to be highly
important for the improvement of operations 4.
The job designs and innovative work behaviour is considered to be a major challenge
for the managers. CERA is recently facing these types of issues in the process of effective job
design methods. The HR Manager of the organization, Israel Tobin had suggested the
implementation of environmental aspects in the effective work process of the organizations.
The Manager of CERA, Rachel Amaro and General Manager Lane Scrowcoft had been
informed about the new training based plans that had been made by the HR Manager. Rachel
was quite supportive in this case, whereas, on the other hand, Lane had not provided major
levels of support 5.
