What do people think? Interesting blog looking at the impact of HRM in schools http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/businessreview/2018/03/26/should-schools-bother-with-modern-human-resources-management/ It highlights research that suggests that the types of HRM that “work” in schools differ from the types that work elsewhere. Schools benefit from increased use of rigorous hiring practices when selecting new recruits, employee participation mechanisms (such as team briefings), total quality management (TQM) and careful record-keeping, none of which seem to improve workplace performance elsewhere in the economy. By contrast, increased use of performance-related pay and performance monitoring, which do improve workplace performance elsewhere in the economy, are ineffective in schools. The only HRM practice that benefits both schools and other workplaces is more intensive provision of training.
