The Three Musketeers of Management

When it comes to management, there are three essential players: human resources, managers, and employees. Together, these three groups make up what can be referred to as the "human resources management system." To effectively manage a team or organization, all three groups need to work together harmoniously.
Human Resources
The human resources department is responsible for various tasks, all of which protect the company's most valuable asset: its people. For example, the human resources department hires and trains employees, designs compensation and benefits packages, and creates and enforces policies to keep employees safe and productive. In short, the human resources department exists to support employees and help them be as successful as possible.
Managers
Managers are the link between senior leadership and front-line employees. The manager's job is to ensure that employees have what they need to do their jobs well and meet (or exceed) expectations. This includes everything from providing adequate resources to offering feedback and guidance. For a company to run smoothly, managers must be able to communicate effectively with both their direct reports and their superiors.
Employees
Of course, no company would be able to function without its employees. Employees are the heart and soul of any organization; they are the ones who do the work that keeps the company running. Without employees, there would be no products or services to sell! Companies need to remember that their employees are not just cogs in a machine; they are real people with several needs (physical, emotional, mental, etc.) that must be met to be productive members of the team.
Management is a complex process that requires all three of these groups to work together to be successful. If any group is not functioning correctly, it will have a negative ripple effect on the others. Companies can create an environment in which everyone can thrive by understanding the role that each group plays in the management process.
