best-rehearses long term growth. The first evolve HR function being in main management as
strategic partner. Rather than traditional practice where it was working as operational work and
routine as (personnel management), in modern practice, it is comprehended strategy for the
organization operations. For example, as used in the past where HR function operated, Through
vague past HR improvement application, the modern applications is that they focused on
competency recruitment, compensation, employee benefits, employee data, payroll, time and
attendance employees development for work, enhancing communication and upgrading skills,
Where in the past interaction between employees and superior was physical, in modern
HR has created and developed tools and programs such as ERP's , employee portals for
communication, strengthening self -services, learning systems for training and development
programmes and employee databases. The modern HR function is progressively computerized to

include top line growth. This implies that HR function plays an instrumental role in core
competencies and work style.
HR Function
HR department is responsible for many functions such as recruiting, personnel, training
and development employees, compensation and benefits, and other related matters. Also
responsible for the development of programs that promote job satisfaction, productivity &
performance. For the development of employees and In addition to these functions, HR
departments are playing a vital role in the functioning of the organization planning, organizing,
controlling and monitoring and responsible for the implementation of policies and procedures
that are designed to improve the quality of work and increase the efficiency for all employees.
Some of organizational objectives that’s HR function should responsible to delivering:
- Business environment: provide fair and respectful environment for employees.
- Employee engagement and motivation: engagement is an agreement where company agree to
do something for the employees to ensure that the organization has an effective and strong
Workforce with high levels of commitment and loyalty.

expectations. It's an HR professional's responsibility to have proper maintaining the technical
ethical integrity at the time of supporting leaders decisions making of business which have

1.3
It has been analysed by CIPD best practice, that HR must be managed in professional manner
and also the manner which is being used must be comprehensive and expansive principles.

Practices which is being used must not be dominating. It has also been analysed that all actions
which is being taken by HR professional must be done in ethical and systematic way and
manner. Data base must be proficient and also principles practice must be used in better way.
This can be termed as HR that professionals in business and managers can appoint so that long
term benefit can be given to firm.
Ethic are considered to be an important aspect in order to set up the cultural level of
transparency by the HR professionals. This will be helpful in creating heart of professionalism
along with developing role model with stronger integrity. This will be helpful in dealing with
employees in order to have the influence over organisation strategy

trust and loyalty. This will be helpful in generating employee productivity contributing in
profitability.
The ethics make the clear contribution to have the depending the trustful level of relationship
among employee , customer along with suppliers and community.
Human resource delivery in organizations
1. A public authority (Government Sector): It has been analyzed that these type of
companies are being hold up by government, they work for the benefit of public. Like for
example BP PLC.
2. A national private company: In this firm is being owned and controlled by their private
owners. Like for example Tesco. Shares are majorly being owned by private owners.
They are involved in providing high quality products and services in order to grow.
3. An SME: SME can be described as small and medium size enterprises which also lay
impact on overall development of economy. SME is involved in bringing out new and

innovative products and services that has supported them in growing. Like for example
Captify.
4. A voluntary (Third Sector) organization: These type of organization are engaged in
providing services to public for free. Profit is not there main motive. Like for example
NHS, they work in order to improve health outcome of patients.
2.1 (250)
HR outsourcing models: In order to develop organization strategically, it is very necessary for
organization to appoint small number of team members as HR Team. This team can support
organization in making the transaction smooth. So outsourcing HR model can be used in which
HR can involve in asking workers question if arises any. Like for example American Express
Corporation is engaged in following this model. Company is considered to be one of the largest
banks in America. New initiated management model is being involved in providing combining
tactics over professional resources which has supported in increasing efficiency of management.
It also can decrease the cost related to running in long run. These type of modifications are being
implemented by various companies and also provided benefits to them.
Ways through which HR objectives can be delivered into organization
HR Shared Services Models:
This model lays emphasis on that robots or robotic process can remove Human Labor
from HR department. In these responsibilities can be made clear among employees so that chaos
does not exist in firm. This will support business entity in growing and achieving their
objectives. It has also been analyzed that company has made use of RPA and traditional HR
practices has been boycotted by various organizations. This model makes sure that traditional
HR practices do not get followed in near future. It has been analyzed that RPA will improve the
management related to workforce in the future.
HR shared the services with the way of proper organizing activities with wider level of
HR which is operating under this model. The terms of the tends to have references over the
concentration of the administrative HR activities which is tends o be centralized over commonly
shared function. The HR shred services are tending to be founded in the large organizations.
Th advantages of the shared service model have the proper level of inclusions in terms of
lowering the cost, better quality, more level of efficient resourcing along with efficient customer

services . on the other hand, the company have the disadvantages of loss of face to face level of
deskilling administrative jobs along with potentiality and remoteness of users in perfect manner.
 HR manager should have the proper level of understanding in term of core principles
along with values which will the company more level of uniqueness.

mission.

with awareness of constructionist of all parts to business is orders to captive the business
goal.
2.2 Analyses how the HR function varies between organizations in different sectors and of
different sizes.
 HR function varies between organizations
Function:

The studies of organizational contingency variables and management practices have shown
that every company has a unique functional structure in the staffing role (Faubert B 2015.).
Researches of HR functions in government and private sector, gives a paradoxical view of
similarity and differences. I will explain as Saudi market organizations. Various HR for
government sector, large and small companies are mostly different in terms of HR functions,
roles, goals, responsibilities, resource and hiring. The different is clearly seen in show and
implementation of overall policy and procedures throughout. It is also might share similar HR
functions in recruitment, personnel, and training & development, payroll, but their road to
achieving those goals is different. Anyway they daily work to close the requirement and achieve
the goals that create a path of success.
Size
The size of government sector, large, and small companies is different with each other,
from headquarter, branch, office, number of staff, customers, levels everything depends on the
type of organization such as a small companies have from 1 to 6 employees to handle HR tasks
with other responsibilities besides HR, Simply larger companies have more departments or
sections which depends on the business type and have more staff available more than 15 or 20
distributed to achieve an assortment of goals on all levels, including management(Dias I and
Sousa M.J 2015). Also have an HR manager or HRBP to manage HR roles with daily tasks.
3 :Government sector is operational more than developmental, it has centralized work, HR
employee’s size in ministries more than anywhere due to the hierarchy they follow, anyway
centers are mostly responsible for specific tasks than employees with similar job titles in the
ministries.
1. HR metrics used to evaluate HR function contribution
2. SLA’s and KPI’s
3. Staff surveys
4. Benchmarking with other organizations
5. Return on Investment (ROI)
6. How a ‘balanced scorecard and/or ‘HR dashboard’ might be used to present HR metrics

"Business performance is a derivative of the teams that comprise it. Build high
performing teams, and a high performing business will follow". (Boss, J., Nov. 2016). To
evaluate the main criteria and methods used for human resource function of the firm different
modules, that's measurable tools an effective human resource function, and important
examination to evaluate this alignment level. Moreover, It is also necessary to consider the
factors that affect HRM function of a company(Youssef A 2016). For example, if there are no
good human resource functions in the organization functioning there tasks, then it cannot be
considered as a success or failure. Therefore, it is very important to measure the effectiveness
functions in human resource.
Human resource metrics are a way to measures the cost and the impact of employees programs.
They allow an organization to keep track of quarterly, Semi-annual or yearly trends and make
necessary changes in the variables. However, there also disadvantages associated with use of
metrics. The data gathered from the metrics may be sometimes misleading, which can eventually
produce negative outcomes. Another potential disadvantage is that risk is not calculated by the
metrics.
-2 SLA's and KPI's
SLA stands for service level of agreement and KPI is for the performance indicator which
measure and pertain monitoring specific measurement of your business. The human resource
department is responsible for the management of all aspects of a company. It’s responsible for
the development of an organization and employees, include revenue, customer satisfaction, and
profit margins, suppliers, employees’ turnover and its overall performance to ensure that the
organization is able to meet the goals and tasks required.
-3 Staff Surveys:
it is type of survey which evaluate and obtain opinion and reviews of the employees. It's
one of the important internal sources for data, which may prove beneficial for measuring
effectiveness for organization and improve the survey can assist in exploring certain issues
associated with human resources and which can significantly assist in determining the opinions
of employees about the organization and its policies and procedures.
-4 Benchmarking with other organizations:

Data and information that is gathered from various sources to evaluate the business such
as market research Industry reports or annual reports for competitors’ and other sources.
Overview of the current and future trends of the organisation.
-5 Return on Investment (ROI)
ROl of an organization is calculated by dividing the cost of goods sold by the revenue
and profit margin earned from the total sales of each unit, and marketing. It is used to determine
how much money has been spent on the business.
-6 How a 'balanced scorecard and/or 'HR dashboard' might be used to present HR
metrics:
The benefits of using a BSC or HR dashboard is to help managers identify areas where
they need to improve their performance, such as in recruitment and selection, training and
development percentages(Pavel S and Jucu S 2018). What are some challenges that human
resource departments face when implementing a new human resource strategy and what is the
best methods used to evaluate the tasks (range, rate, turnover, result, percentage, No.), what's the
best ways to implement and measure to achieve the required success.
Analyse how the HR function varies between organisations in different sectors and of different
sizes.

1. With reference to the article you have accessed from Online Services, what are the
key messages from the report?
4.1
This report emphasizes on the basic HR functions to support & enhance the business
performance and importance of the employee's engagement factor regarding the business
outcomes. It tells that the employee engagement thru various tools is vital to get better
employee's performance and productivity which leads to higher business outputs to meet the
organizational goals. It also states that the organization should be able to provide a good working
environment for its employees so as it can attract more customers, increase sales and improve
customer satisfaction.
For all the above mentioned observations HR is the body who designs the strategies related to
enhancing employee’s engagement, implements it and then analysis (Sometimes through the
external resources) the results.
4.2 How convincing do you think these findings are and why?
The finding in research are very much convincing and important. As discussed above human
resource is the body, which design, and implements strategies to enhance employee’s
engagement and high productivity which is the key for the business success. The examples
quoted in the articles shows that in 3M case study showed the results that employee’s
engagement was the factor behind their innovations, in INFOSYS that factor was leading to
customer’s satisfaction and SCHELUMBERGER study tells us that the service quality is directly
proportion to the same factor. So every organization needs to continuously develop and adopt
strategies under their customized environment for continues improvement of internal culture to
get the external results and seeing its importance and impact, it is clearly a core function of
human resource.
From your understanding of the findings in the report, how can high performance working
and investment in people impact on organizational performance?

Translucence and ethical behavior from the foundation of high performance working and
investment in employees, which is impact on organizational performance, therefore investing in
employees makes them more probable to feel they are part of the company to helps create a
culture, nurture and support high organization performance and keep them fully engaged to do
better in the long-term competitiveness improvement to achieve the goals. Employees with top
performing will tend towards high productivity levels with motivation, drive, and energy,
capability. However, the human resource functions play and handle a complex process that
involves both the organizations internal and external environment and open lines of
communication. Also, ensuring organizational sustainability not only depends on the
organization's competitors, but relies on the powerful internal attitude that embraces difference
with high employees participation, human resource practices and reward and commitment
practices. These cultures lead in higher performance and guarantee sustainable enterprise
success. Strong leaders are the key to make the high performance culture.

working to achieve the main organizational objectives in the sections of human resource
department. Moreover, this assignment helped me in how to develop a strong relationship with
my team members to ensure that they are able to perform their best and how to use the methods
that’s used to evaluate main goals and tasks of human resource function such as KPI's, surveys,
and how to make them think for the new ideas that out of the box(Munteanu A 2015). I have
learned from this experience that there are many ways to manage people effectively, in order to
achieve success in any organization, one must be aware of the different types of management
styles and how they can be used to accomplish goals.
Conclusion
