While there is no universally accepted definition of Human Resource Management (HRM), in simple terms, it is about the relationship between employer and employee and how this is managed. It covers all aspects of how people are managed, including working conditions and how decisions about work are made when we go to work for someone, or we employ someone to work for us. It is worth noting that the average employee will spend 80,000 hours of his or her life at work. That equates to more time than we are likely to spend on any other activity during our lifetimes. We spend more time with our work colleagues than many of us spend with our families. The management of our working lives is therefore a topic that affects nearly all of us and has important ramifications for society as a whole. Recent work by Bryson and MacKerron found that paid work is ranked lower than 39 other common activities people engage in, except for being sick in bed. Well-being at work varies depending on where you work (at home, in an office, or elsewhere); whether you combine work with other activities; whether you work with others; when you work; and your personal and household characteristics. Some of this can be influenced by the choices we make for ourselves and the decisions made for us by others (managers) as well as public policy that governs the working environment. If we are not as individuals complete masters of our destiny, we do have choices as a society.
