Works cited..................................7IntroductionHuman resources management is part of the human resources approach, which is obviously geared towards enabling organizations to benefit in two significant ways: increasing organizational efficiency and satisfying all employee needs. Organizational goals and employee needs are viewed as mutual and compatible in this approach, instead of simply treating them as separate elements. In other words, one need cannot be acquired at the expense of the other (Human Resources Management... 6). The human resources manager in charge of the headquarters of a large brewing company, as well as the manager I interviewed, is Lori Fulmer. Ms. Fulmer is Gordon Biersch's Benefits and Risk Manager.Organization InformationDan Gordon and Dean Biersch founded their first restaurant in Palo Alto in 1988. What began as a collaboration between a brewery and a single restaurant grew is quickly transformed into a string. A little more than two years ago, Trolley Barn Breweries Holding Company, which includes numerous Big River Grille, Rock Bottom, A1A Ale House and Seven Bridges Bar & Grille restaurants, purchased the rights to Gordon Biersch restaurants. The new company still retains the Gordon Biersch name. The two founding members still run the brewery based in Las Vegas, Nevada. This lucrative merger combines the West Coast brewing style, which uses the unique German brewing style, with the unique microbreweries of the East. This merger incorporated twenty-five restaurants and two more opened in the past year. Gordon Biersch's head office is responsible for monitoring the success achieved throughout the restaurant. The total number of management staff is approximately 225 people. This includes everyone from the CEO all the way down to company staff. The total number of employees in the entire restaurant and brewery chain, including corporate offices, lies somewhere in the middle of the paper ......e implemented and analyzed. The information obtained maximizes worker performance and organizational effectiveness. The audit levels the playing field for evaluations by clearly identifying employee strengths and training needs. Once the evaluation is sent to the company, merit increases are awarded based on the rating. Conclusion The overriding idea I learned from this interview is that an employee is the most important asset of a company. The human resources department monitors the employee's well-being and its importance is often underestimated. At Gordon Biersch, the HR department is one of the first people to know if/when prices should be reduced. If I ever hold a management position, I now know that above all, I must respect the worker. Having a strong and engaged HR department will help achieve this goal. Works citedCarrell, Elbert, Hatfield. Human resource management: strategies for managing a diverse and global workforce.
