HR Performance Issues and Motivation

HR Performance is intended for all HR professionals from the directors to those who deal with any aspects of HR within another job title. Human resources management is very important to the success of any organization. Human resources is important to all managers because it provides them with the resources that is necessary for their employees to able them to produce the work for the managers and the organization (Zaidi, 2010). Most people when looking for a job or career is more concern with the actual benefits vs. the hourly pay or salary. HR is becoming a strong strategic collaborator when it comes to establishing the overall direction and objectives of key areas of human resource management in order to ensure that they not only are dependable but also support getting to the business goals. The major change of modern economy from production to services has made e of human recourse more essential than ever before. Human recourse is the most important asset to accomplish competitive advantage (Zaidi, 2010).

Luckily I only had to endure the layoff for 3 months. But within that time frame my benefits were cancelled and I had pretty much drained my savings. Unemployment was not enough to survive off of for a family of four. I was so happy when I was called back to work. When I was called back to work I came back as part-time even though I work 39 hours a week the one hour that I lack made me not qualify for any benefits. In order for the people who were laid off to get their jobs back there had to be some type of cut backs. This is where HR decided to cut back.

Now that it has been 3 years I am grateful for my job but I am hurting not having any benefits for me and my family. I do not qualify for any type of aid assistant due to the fact that I make too much money but at the same time I cannot afford to pay ...
