How does social responsibility and staffing affect personnel management?

Staffing and social responsibility have become major topics when it comes to personnel management or human resources.

The importance of staffing

In order for a business to be profitable and successful, the correct personnel must be assembled, bringing in skill-sets that match the companies requirement.

It is also really important to balance recruitment so that the volume of people joining a company allows the firm to be both productive and cost efficient.

In a nutshell, the role of staffing is to hire, train and make use of a workforce that meets the requirements in terms of size and skill, in order to allow a company to thrive.

This is a theme that is growing in importance, especially in Europe, but also in the US.

The idea of social responsibility is that a company must be managed in such a way that it has a positive impact on its workforce, their families, and the social and environmental surroundings which the company finds itself in.

Not only is this a "good" approach to take, the theory is that by looking after the people and environment around it, a company can earn the commitment and support of its employees and the local community.

With many companies, this has a direct and positive impact on the operations of the business.
