HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISION
Management is probably not something you frequently think about, nor do you often wonder why companies need managers or what they jobs entail. As a ship needs a captain to navigate waterways, an effective organization needs managers to perform key functions. Whether you own a business, or are employed by a private or public entity, for profit or non-profit, management skills are essential.
So, what are managers and what are their different organizational roles? Managers' duties include planning, organizing, directing, and controlling but there are different types of managers. As demonstrated in the sample Organizational Chart, managers are an instrumental because they must be able to communicate information effectively with all levels of employees.
The chart demonstrates the need for both Human Resources Management and Management and Supervision which are distinctly different. Why are these areas different? Isn't it all the same? Let's look at the difference.
