Human Resource Paradigms A manager's paradigms are the mind-sets reflecting the knowledge, beliefs, perceptions, and assumptions about the world in which he or she functions, e.g., hard work brings success. Human resource paradigms are the eyeglasses through which managers see people and their ability to contribute to the business. How the management team views and feels about human resources directly affects human resource management. Good people don't want to work in agriculture. Hired labor doesn't care about the business.
People are one of the keys to success in risk management.
Employees are creative and an important source of new ideas. Appreciated people will respond with dedication and loyalty. The management team, not employees or the rest of the family, determines the paradigms that shape the human resource environment. Managers choose their paradigms. Managers can change their paradigms.
