According to “https://www.greatplacetowork.com/best-workplaces/100-best/2024” the top three companies to work for in 2024 are Hilton, Cisco, and NVIDIA. The two most common reasons the employees say these are the best places to work are people and culture. This shows that these companies understand the importance of human resources management. In lecture one for this week, it discusses why human resource management matters. It is said that people matter and organizational culture matters. Human resource management has an effect on both people and culture. Human resource management is about helping the people (employees) and ensuring that they are happy with the culture, benefits, and environment of the organization.
As I am in a leadership role already, I have a great sense of the leader I want to be. I strive to be a servant leader, putting the needs and success of my employees above my own. This ties to the idea of people matter in the human resource management world. This also builds a culture that embraces the voice of everyone and the development of everyone. A quote by the Jocko Willink, “To implement real change, to drive people to accomplish something truly complex or difficult or dangerous — you can’t make people do these things. You have to lead them.”, sticks out to me when it comes to the type of leader I strive to be. I want to ensure I manage my human capital in a way that ensures they are supported to accomplish all they set out to accomplish in their career by being a leader and not a boss.
