HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Introduction
Human resource management is one of the important parameters for enhancing the
efficiency in the operations. Managing the human resources is bound to witness conflicts,
discriminations and harassments, which degrades the sanctity of the workplace. It is the duty
of the HR manager to implement policies for enhancing the standards and quality of the
businesses. Revising these policies is an initiative for attracting the candidates towards the
services. The instances of harassments and bullying degrade the integrity of the workplace
unity and collaboration, which is needed for completion of the activities. According to
Johnstone, (2017), harassment and bullying contradicts the discipline, which is the main
instruction mode in the Australian Defence Force.

Major themes and issues
This section attempts to shed light on the major themes related to the human resource
management. The main emphasis is on the instances of harassment and bullying, which
degrades the integrity and sanctity of the culture of Australian Defence Force. According to
the revelations of Sbs.com.au, (2020), bullying and sexual harassment adversely affects the
culture imbibed by the Defence Forces in the threshold of Australia. In spite of the
supervision of the Australian mateship, such instances are a shame for the nation’s pride.
Public hearing for the cases of child sex abuse reflects the consciousness towards restoring
justice to the victims, indicating the public wellbeing. Honest confessions regarding the
resistances to change relates to clinging towards traditional underpinning for preserving the
culture. The alarming situation is created through the reference of rapes, physical injuries and
assaults, which has generated fears in the minds of the aspiring militants (Sbs.com.au, 2020).
