For our company in HRM we decided to adopt EMCOR for our assignment 1, in which we have to identify

ts network of specialty chain stores in the Visayas, Mindanao, and Palawan areas. With the launching of their

By definition, Human Resources Management is the art and science of acquiring, motivating, maintaining and
developing people in their jobs in light of their personal, professional and technical knowledge, skills, potentialities,
needs and values and in synchronization with the organization philosophy, resources and culture for the maximum
achievement of individual, organization and society’s goal.

Human Resources Department for me…
For me HR primarily concerns with the employees of the company like recruiting and training the best employee,
ensuring the employees performing their job accordingly and ensuring the personnel and management practices
conform to various regulations of the company. HRD is very important because it protects your company’s most
important asset-people (Human resources) which plays a major role in the success or failure of the company.



The Interview...
On July 3, 2009, we decided to go EMCOR Bajada for our interview in our report on HRM for our assign module in
sharing and we also take that opportunity to ask them for their best practices in Human Resource. So we interviewed
the assistant manager of EMCOR.

the company. He said that all of the transaction regarding the employee can be found in the Human Resource-Department

ervices and capabilities of the company , in alignment with the corporate objectives or strategies.
These activities include studying economic indicators, tracking changes in supply and demand of labor,
identifying departments and their current and future needs and monitoring the HR performance.

Importance of Human Resources Department in the Company (EMCOR)

Human Resources department is very important to the company because it are responsible for hiring and protecting your

in the company, Human Resources department are the one who settle this kind of problem and of course they would have an
hearing for the justices purposes, the employee have the rights to defend their self for the certain act that they've done.
They do not automatically fire the employee. They have a certain process regarding about this matter.

Training and Development
In Human Resources Development , it focuses on the organizations competencies at the first stage, training, and then
developing the employee, through education, to satisfy the organizations long-term needs and the individuals’ career
goals and employee value to their present and future employers. In EMCOR, some of their employees was done their
