HRM 2
HRM
In an organization, different staffs execute specific roles that match their skills. This
paper describes the roles of a director assists and a flight attendance as well as their
relationships to HR.
Assistant director is one of the many job roles in an organization. Like any other
roles, an assistant director is expected to execute different roles to help in achieving the goals
of an entity. Assistant director helps the director of the company or a department to execute
various roles in quest to achieve the set objectives. The assistant director helps in providing
training and guidance in an entity. Training is an ongoing program in many institutions and
therefore, they provide assistance in ensuring that these trainings are undertaken well to
ensure that the trainee become efficient in their roles. They delegate duties to their junior

staff; duties such as scanning, typing, and photocopying of documents. They as well shave
the powers to hire, terminate and train staffs. Assistant directors as well take part in the
planning and implementing of various programs such as annual calendar activities; they
create schedules as well participate in the strategic management of an organization.
Assistant directors as well have responsibility of ensuring that they corporate or work
with their directors to trigger, sustain, and ensure that programs and services grow. They
ensure that operations and functions in the organizations move on smoothly as expected.
Assistant directors can as well attend and preside over meetings in an organization. They as
well ensure that the goals and objectives set are achieved . The assistant directors as well are
expected to carry out various duties including, helping in creation of budgets,, tracking
expenditures, creating presentations, arranging for special events fundraising initiatives,
representing the organization to the public, business partners and key stakeholders. In their
day-to-day duties, assistant directors ensure that the processes are running on smoothly. They
engage with their staffs and directors to give guidance and advice on the way things should
be undertaken.
These responsibilities closely relate to those carried out by HRM. For instance, just
likes the human resources managers, assistant directors can provide training to the recruits,
they can hire, and terminate the staffs. These roles are traditionally known to be performed by
the human resource managers. Furthermore, they as well participate in strategic planning in
an organization and ensure that processes and functions run smoothly. They as well
participate in activities such as creating schedules and providing assistance to other
managerial staffs to ensure that the organization achieves its goals and objectives.
Cabin crews also the flight attendance in an international airline carry out various
roles in their day-to-day activities. Some of the roles they carry out have some relationships
HRM 4
to human resource management. Serving as cabin crew in an international airline for three
years, I have done various roles. The roles are more or less similar on daily basis.
Before very flight, I attend a safety briefing with the pilot and the lead pilot flight
attendant. In this briefing, I usually go over safety and emergency checklists, the features of
the airplane and the locations and the amount of emergency equipment. This is very
important as it enable me and other staffs to verify whether everything is in order. I also
check and verify on special needs passengers such as small children traveling, VIPs
unaccompanied children and passengers with any health conditions and such. I also check the
cabins to ensure that they are functioning proper. Other things that I verify include equipment
such as torches and life-vests, firefighting equipment, any dangerous goods and weights and
size of the luggage, seats, ensure seat belts are fastened well (Vantoch, 2013). This is
normally done before the flight takes off.
After taking off, I serve drinks and food to the passengers. I ensure that all passengers
are served. After servicing the passengers, I as well check and listen to any unusual
situations or noises. I as well check the cockpit regularly to ensure that the pilots are in good
health and safety. When the plane is landing, I check cabins to ensure that they are secure.
All liquids are disposed and garbage collected. After landing, I assist the passengers
especially the children with ID verification. I escort the children to help them complete their
paper works. Sometimes during emergencies, I responded immediately. I have training in
this area. My responsibility as cabin crew to the HR is to ensure that I execute my duties
with diligent and as expected to avoid any disciplinary issues with the HR. I also have a
responsibility to manage time well. My performance records determine whether I can be
promoted or not.
HRM 5
Therefore, as I plan to purse masters in human resource management, I can
vehemently say that, I have had enough experience working as an employee. My relationship
with HRM as well has oriented me to the duties and roles of the HR in an entity. This
therefore, gives me a green light about the course.
Working as a cabin crew is wonderful experience even through the task is
challenging. It gives one an opportunity to interact with many people from various cultural
backgrounds and in the processes enhances ones socialization and communication skills.
