Human Resource Development at Macro and Micro
Level
HRD is applicable to both at macro level (national level) as well as
micro level (organizational level). At the macro level, HRD is
concerned with the development of people of country as a whole.
For example, HRD ministry of Government of India is concerned
with developing people in whole of country.
At micro level, each organization is concerned with developing its
human resources. While HRD at macro level has uniformity, it
differs at micro level because each organization may have distinct
approach for developing human resources.
There is close relationship between HRD at macro level and micro
level. Macro level HRD provides human resources to
organizations. Therefore, efforts at micro level HRD is influenced
by macro level HRD. For example, overall quality of human
resources of a country determines the type of efforts that
individual organizations make in developing its human resources.
If this quality is high, lower organizational efforts are required. In
the alternative case, higher organizational efforts are required.
HRD in Indian Context
Some specific features of HRD in India are as follows:
@ Atthe macro level, there are plenty of educational institutions
in India producing large number of educated people every
year. However, quality of majority of such people is very low.
Therefore, they are not employable. According to National Employability Report, 2014, only 18.33 per
cent engineering graduates are employable. Similar is the case
with management graduates. So far as other educational
disciplines are concerned, the situation is even worse except some
professional disciplines.
e@ Atthe micro level, HRD efforts of individual organizations
differ widely. There are many organizations which pay very
high attention to HRD. They spend lot of money in developing
their human resources. Such organizations believe in
developing competitive advantage through their human
resources. As against this pattern, there are plenty of
organizations which give very low importance to HRD. Such
organizations treat HRD expenses as waste.
