Hi,

Don't be disappinted. Sometimes it takes time for people to respond.

As to your querry, I would state as under:

In fact HR is a philosophical orientation of the organization in matters of dealing with people within the organization-individually as also collectively. This philosophy has to become a common denominator of all functions and work centres. Since the performance of the organization is the sum total of the performance of the people it employees, the challenge of dealing with the people and of getting the best contributions out of them is tremendous.

The quality of interactions between the managers at various levels across different functions determines the status of HR in that organization. Since no two human beings ever behave in an identical manner, the job of the HR becomes so much more critical in getting managers to deal with will employees in work and off work situations, in tune with the culture of the organization.

In that sense the generalist role of HR will focus around, establishing the HR philosophy, creating an atmosphere conducive to excellent performance, being the conscience-keeper of the organization, being a facilitator of culture generation and managing collectivity of emloyees from the point of view of systems, uniformity and consistency of treatment to people, value sanctification etc.

HR specialist would lay down systems, rules, procedures and monitoring mechanisms to ensure that things go as per the plan. For that he uses strategies of work designs, training interventions, appraisals, rewards and punishment systems etc.

But we will do well to remember that as HR we are Not God. We will do all that is stated above and more but only by involving and carrying our people with us and only then we may succeed.

I know that this is a rather general response to your query, but am hopeful that it would answer your questions.
