Unexpected questions
Tereza prepared herself for the selection interview,
took all documents into her handbag, which might help her to be successful, and
impatiently but with fear expected to appear before the committee.
She was expecting all sorts of questions, but one of
the committee members surprised her with the very first question that he asked.
‘Miss, it
is sometimes spoken about human resources, sometimes about personnel management
and sometimes about the management of human resources. You have
been concerned with this issue. Could you please, briefly explain the problem,
before we start discussing other issues related to the work in our company?’
Tereza is starting to explain. ‘Not
every organization has the ability to allocate staff specifically for personnel
work. In this case, the HR is assigned to an employee’s previous professional
activities and we call this form of work personnel administration. Such a
designated employee then deals only with personal activities as required by
law.
If the organization is more numerous, there is a
worker specialized in all activities in the area of human resources, dealing with education,
recruitment, retraining, etc. In this case, it is a personnel management.
If prognostication is included in personnel work in addition
to these activities, then we speak about human resource management.’
Such an explanation was perfectly adequate for the
selection committee and it meant a good start for Tereza to start her career.
