Types Of Resources And Their Importance In An Organisation

June 24, 2010 |  by Jamie  |  Business

Every organisation has various kinds of resources that are instrumental in attaining its set objectives. Let us look at some of them here -

Human Resources

This is the most vital resource of an organisation. An organisation cannot work without human resources and hence it has to take care of this aspect. Organisations choose employees based on the qualifications and skills required for the work. In addition to this, they conduct various kinds of training programs so that employees can upgrade their skills and perform better. It is very important for employees to know the purpose and the importance of the activities they perform so that they feel connected to the purpose of the organisation.

Infrastructure

Just by hiring human resource, an organisation cannot attain its objectives. These resources need infrastructure to be in place so that they can perform their work properly. This infrastructure includes buildings, equipment, machinery, and so on. For example, if the work involves lifting a heavy load that is beyond an individual’s capacity, then relevant equipment that assists the employee in lifting the load is required. The infrastructure also includes IT and communication infrastructure, which are the backbone of any firm.

Work Environment

Just having the equipment is not enough for the employees to perform their work. They should also have a supporting work environment like neat and clean space, pollution free environment, safe working practices, proper lighting and temperature, good working relationships and so on. All these measures will keep them motivated to work and ensure their safety. The employees should also have scope for innovation and improvement. They should feel empowered to make their own decisions. They should also feel free to discuss their problems and should trust their employer.

Any organisation depends on its customers and keeping them satisfied is of prime importance. Since customers interact with employees, it is important for an organisation to keep its employees satisfied. Tight infrastructure and proper working environment are necessary to keep the employees satisfied and get the best out of them.
