Massey University 2011 Professorial Lecture Series

Professor Jim Arrowsmith - The paradox and potential of human resource management. Strategies and systems around people management.

Every successful organisation needs to recruit and retain high-quality employees, and to manage and motivate them effectively. Employers increasingly need to harness workers’ skills, commitment and creativity to meet the challenges of intense competition and technological change. They must also compete for staff, addressing emerging employee expectations around challenging and fulfilling work, career development and work-life balance as well as staples such as pay and job security.

The need for strategies and systems around people management has, therefore, never been greater. The paradox for human resource management professionals is that they all too often remain part of a Cinderella function - hard working, unloved by step-sisters in management and labour, and excluded from the corporate ball. In his talk, Professor Arrowsmith explores why this happens and why it matters, emphasising the positive potential of HRM to improve management and employee performance in the New Zealand context.
