Effective human resource management is crucial for the success of a company. An effective human resource management department is formed through systems that empowers the individual. Companies have figured out key components necessary to build an effective human resource management system. Throughout examining Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For, the companies which have stood out due to their practices are Hilton, Cisco, and Capital One.
Hilton embraces a practice of creating a family-like culture. Employee state how they don’t feel like a “number”. The Hilton ensures they make every employee feel apart a family, boosting morale and performance from the employees.
Something I love about Cisco is the diversity in the executive leadership. I’ve been taught about the significance about ensuring every employee feels represented in the executive leadership. When each demographic present in a company is represented, a clear image of what the company stands for is displayed. The strong support system present in Cisco provides a solid backbone for all people to rely on. Employees who feel supported perform the best.
The practice from Capital One that stood out is the inclusivity. Employees preach how the company allows individuals to express themselves for who they are. Capital One allows employees to express their individuality. Capital One’s emphasis on individuality has resulted in an environment which allows for innovation in the workplace.
As a future manager, I want to create an inclusive environment which promotes the individuality each employee brings when they enter the doors. Creating an environment where everyone feels welcomed and supported with a strong system is a goal I want to pursue. I want to make sure the leadership reflects what the company strives for. A leadership team which represents all the different backgrounds in a company will help inclusivity. Including systems which allow for employees to be properly trained is the key to surpassing challenges and help employees thrive.
