Traditional HR Practices vis-à-vis New Age HR Practices
Traditional HR Practices vis-à-vis New Age HR Practices – A brief citation
With the unprecedented growth and development of the labour oriented industries all around the world post 1920, more emphasis was given to welfare and betterment of labours/workers. Initially, the concept of Welfare Officer was statutorily introduced to address various issues related to workers in an industry and to act as a communication bridge between the workers and the management. In course of time, the scope of such concept was further broadened and from the concept of mere ‘Welfare Functions’ to ‘Personnel Functions’ originated. With the advent of Industrial Revolution in post millennium decades, the word ‘Personnel’ was further replaced with the concept of HR accentuating on the need to treat people as a resource rather than mere manpower to run the business. At Present, with the paradigm shift transpired in overall business functions, strategies, competitiveness, policies of Govt., etc., the term ‘HR’ has further been broadened to be named as ‘New Age HR’ incorporating new and scientific way of becoming a strategic partner in business rather than simply accomplishing the HR related tasks for the industry. Given below a glimpse in brief which differentiates the two phases closely.
