Competitiveness refers back to the ability of companies to retain and gain market share in the desired industry. It is also related to effectiveness, which is determined by how the company satisfies stakeholders. Important "stakeholders" include "stockholders", who want something back for their investment. For example, customers who want a good quality product for the price, employees who want to be paid for the work they do.
Companies that do not meet the interests of stakeholders are less likely to have a competitive advantage over other companies in the industry.
Human resource management refers back to politics, practice, and systems that influence employee behavior, attitude, and performance. HRM means: determining and analyzing the work, determining the human resource resources (HRM planning), inspiring potential employees (recruiting), choosing employees (selecting), teaching employees how to do the work best and preparing for the future (training and development), rewarding employees (compensation), evaluating employee performance (performance management) and creating a positive work environment (employee relationship).
A study has shown that the amount made available by companies for HRM is on average 2.936 US dollars per employee. High impact HR teams have one person per 64 employees. These teams spend more than the average available for HRM: 4.434 USD. These high impact HR teams have furthermore a higher percentage of HR specialists than compliance-based and basic HR organizations.
There are three HR product lines:
Administrative service and transactions: compensation, renting and staffing.
This emphasizes: means effectiveness and quality service.
Business partner service: developing effective HR systems and helping implement business plans, talent management.
This emphasizes: knowing the business and exerting influence: solving problems, developing effective systems to ensure the necessary competences.
Strategic partner: contribute to the business strategy based on considerations of human capital, business capabilities, readiness and development of HR practices as strategic distinguishing factors.
This emphasizes: knowledge of HR and the business environment, the market and business strategies.
HR managers have 2 major challenges:
Shifting their focus from current activities to strategies for the future.
Preparing non-HR managers to develop and implement HR practices.
Shared service model is a way of organising HR functions (where centres of expertise or excellence, service centres and business partners are important). Centres of expertise or excellence are HR specialists in staff training. Service centers are a central place for administrative and transactional tasks such as enrolling for training courses or changing benefits that employees and managers can have online. Business partners are HR staff members who work with a business unit manager on strategic issues such as creating new compensation plans or developing programs to prepare high-level managers.
Self-service goes refers to giving employees online access to apps that provide information about HR issues. Examples of these HR issues are training, benefits, compensation and contracts. With a change to self-service, HR can focus more on consulting with managers on key personnel issues and need less time for day-to-day transactional tasks.
Outsourcing refers to the practice of providing another company with service (a vendor, third party or consultant). The most common "outsourced activities" relate to benefits administration (flexible publishing accounts, health plan status), relocation and payroll. The main reasons for companies to oursource specific services are cost savings, increased ability to recruit and manage talent, improving HR service quality and protecting the company from potential litigation by standardizing processes such as selection and recruitment.
Evidence-based HR refers to the demonstration that human resource practices have a positive impact on a company floor and key stakeholders. These key stakeholders might be employees, customers, the community and shareholders.
HR or work analytics refers to the practice or use of quantitative methods and scientific methods to analyse 'big data'. Big data combines information from human resource databases, business financial statements, employee surveys and other data sources to make evidence-based human resource decisions and demonstrate that HR practices affect the organization's bottom line, including profits and costs.

Competing through technology means:
Companies might have problems with attracting and retaining talented employees. Most companies increase wages, pay for benefits and provide training to provide a solution for these problems. New technologies eliminate administrative and transactional HR activities. About 80% of all jobs are in the service sector. Jobs in the service sector are in healthcare, local municipalities, professional business service and retail. The number of jobs are decreasing in the agriculture sector. Examples are farmers, fishing, forestry. This decrease in jobs is the result of for example technical developments, foreign competition, cost reduction and more efficient work processes. There is a shortage of employees with skills in science, technology, technology and mathematics (STEM skills).
