HRM IN INDIA: AN OVERVIEW


Aftermath of the First World War rendered the country with difficult conditions.

The Royal Commission of Labour in India, in 1931, under the chairmanship of J.H. WHITELY recommended the abolition of the ‘jobber’ system and the appointment of labour officers in industrial enterprises to deal with the recruitment of labour and to settle their grievances.

After Independence, the Factories Act, 1948 laid down qualifications and duties of Welfare Officers with requisite qualifications and training.

The aftermath of the Second World War and independence workers needs and expectations increased.

Three functions were added to it: Labour Welfare, Industrial Relations and Personnel Administration.

These three integrated into the emerging Profession called ‘Personnel Management’.
