The interest in HRM is increasing among managers within other disciplines. Increased devolvement of HR activities to managers has arisen from the understanding that HR practice is one of the few variables that can bring about real competitive advantage in organisations. More managers from a wider base of specialisms have become involved with personnel or HR‐related activities. At the same time, these non‐HR specialists are dealing with an ever‐widening range of these issues. Many activities might be associated with operational HR; conducting appraisals and counselling for improved performance. Others may be more strategic encompassing programmes of change that are driving initiatives such as quality or a customer focus. In such circumstances the non‐HRM specialist will face issues involved in the encouragement of flexibility, commitment or culture change. Underpinning all activities is a consistent concern with maximum utilisation of the HR.That is not to say that all line managers are converts to the potentials of HRM. There is still a great deal of scepticism and a lack of understanding around people management issues, and a need for education and training of those that are becoming more involved. This need is then reflected in the provision of education for managers in HR‐related theory and processes. The profile of the HRM module within generalist post‐experience and postgraduate courses has been raised.
