HRM means employing people, developing their resources, utilizing, maintaining and
compensating their services in tune with the job and organizational requirement.
Honda company employs 181876 workers. Soichiro Honda had the clear aim and created a
trustworthy atmosphere in the company.
His employees soon came to understand that poor performance would not be tolerated. Due to
his anger the employees called him Mr. Thunder, but they loved him.
The Human Resource Managing Department at Honda is given specific instructions on how to
employ the best possible workers.
The objective of managers is to build relationships in which workers would see themselves
working with the manager, rather than working for a manager.
Human resource management assume that if employees are happier at work the production
would increase. The owners treat others as equal and often work in a workshop with
employees.
Motivating employees
Mr. Honda paid much attention to experimental work and did not accept attempts to
control him or his corporation via the traditional caste system.
Mr. Honda understood that encouraging his workers personal development, their wish for self-
actualization will bring him success in business. He instilled in his employees the drive to learn
without fear of failure, having built the road to success.

Managing Operations

through their services said Mike Wallace, manager of Hondas MRO purchasing.
An example of the way Honda manages operations is when they use tracking software to
monitor when motors and other machinery go into service. This has brought significant cost
savings to Honda, making Honda very efficient.
