Reflective Statement on HRM

Introduction

In this Reflective Statement, I will evaluate, comment and self-reflect on my learning experience on the module PM4906 Human Resource Management C as a whole.

On commencement of the module my first thought was when I reviewed the course outline was immediate fear at the thought of conducting a selection interview, having it videotaped and worst of all having to watch it back and comment on how you feel it went. This fear was made worse when Jean announced that we would be doing it in groups and not individually, how humiliating! I questioned what the purpose of having to watch yourself was. The second assessment was the Disciplinary Interview; this was a task that I had never undertaken and I was apprehensive that I would not have the ability to carry it out.

However, Human Resource Management is one of its tasks provide human capabilities required by an organization and develop skills and abilities of the individual to be as satisfactory to himself and the community in which it operates. Do not forget that organizations depend for their operation and evolution, primarily the human element that counts. It can be said without exaggeration that an organization is the portrait of its members (Burrell, 1993, 91-112).

Selection Interview

Having completed a selection interview in the Cert in HRM last year I was familiar with the process, this gave me belief and confidence especially as this module had only two weeks to cover the Recruitment and Selection Process in its entirety, if I didn't have this background before commencing I believe it would have been difficult to absorb all the information and I may have felt uncertain leading into the interview.
