Human Resource Management, also referred to as HRM, performs a variety of different functions and activities to satisfy the staffing needs of a small business or large corporation. Several different areas of staffing and employee development are considered in HRM. Each decision made is geared to the betterment of the company while still reducing operational and overhead costs. A Human Resource Management Department will be dedicated to hiring the best candidates, paying employees and providing benefits information, training employees, ensuring compliance to state and federal-mandated regulations, ensuring a safe working environment, and rewarding high performing employees. Each of these functions plays a significant role in the operation of any business no matter the size.

In Human Resource Management, getting the best employees is more than just conducting interviews. The management department will need to develop a plan by determining how many employees are needed and which positions need to be filled. They will also be responsible for specifying job titles and responsibilities and recruiting individuals with experience who may prove to be an asset to the company. Once candidates have been selected, they will also perform screening and background checks as required by the company.

HRM handles compensation and benefits for employees. The HRM department decides all retirement plans, life insurance, health insurance, disability insurance, employee stock ownership, salary, bonuses and commissions. When issues with pay or benefits arise, employees are told to consult a benefits or HR employee to discuss the concerns or errors.

Training employees is yet another function Human Resource Management is responsible for. From new hire orientations and training to career and leadership development classes, there are several programs to consider. Employees being promoted from within will often require management development courses, which will be planned and overseen by the HRM department.

Federal and state regulations are very strict about work policies and personnel records. The HRM must meet federal requirements at all times and keep detailed records for audits. Employee laws and Ethics training will need to review on an annual basis as the laws and practices change frequently. Keeping up with these changes is required of all HRM departments in the country.

Making sure employees are performing to their full potential is important to run a profitable organization. The Human Resource Management department will oversee employee performance, perform reviews, give warnings, write ups, oversee attendance, and sustain high performing employees. Each function of the department is important for the health of a business of corporation.

Offset Printing Vs Digital Printing

By Noah Salzman

Most commercial printers these days offer both offset printing and digital printing, but which is better and what are the differences that are significant to the print buyer?

In almost all cases, there is a clear and obvious choice which method is best suited for the production of an order, and any professional commercial printing sales representative should be able to know immediately which way to go.

Let me begin by stating that the quality of the print impression is not one of the deciding factors. Before commercial printers had invested in digital equipment they would point out that digital imaging quality was inferior to offset imaging quality, and perhaps there was a time when this was true, but not today. Over the last decade, the technical advancements in digital printing has brought it to the point where even people working in the trade can not tell the difference between a digitally printed sheet or one that was offset printed. The print buyer or average consumer looking at the printed item certainly has no clue which of the two methods was used.

So what are the deciding factors? The first and most significant issue is the quantity of the run. Offset printing requires plates and set up time which is the same whether the print run is one hundred or one million, and there is a fixed cost for that. Digital printing does not require plates or significant set up time and can produce a quality impression from the first output sheet. However, digital printing is slow and there is no economy of scale. The one hundredth sheet or the one thousandth sheet, costs the same as the first sheet. In offset printing the press can run at incredible speed. In some cases the press can print more than 4 sheets a second which is approximately 6 times faster than a digital press, and that's not taking into consideration the huge difference in the size of the sheet, but we'll talk about that in another paragraph. Therefore, in offset printing, you amortize the fixed costs of plates and set up into your run (the number of sheets being printed), and the unit cost reduces with every additional sheet being printed. In general, the number of impressions where the two methods cost the same is one thousand. Above that number offset will be more cost-effective, and below that number digital will be less expensive. So the trick here is to determine the required quantity. Usually, if a client needs 5,000 of an item he won't be ordering 500, and vice versa.

The size of the press sheet is also a main determining factor. At present the largest digital print image is 12in. x 18in., so any item larger than that automatically has to be printed offset. There is one exception. If you are only printing a few copies of a large image, it can be done in large format digital, but at $6.00 a square foot, at around 20 units offset printing will become less expensive. As well, if you want to print (for example) 8 - 8 1/2 x 11 pages, this would fit onto one set of plates of a 40in. offset press and would be more efficient than digital unless, of course, the quantity was very small - under 300. So, as you can see, the decision becomes a function of size and quantity, but an experienced estimator can usually tell at a glance which method would work best.

As a footnote I would like to mention that Fuji is unveiling the first 28in. digital printing press later this month at the Graph Expo in Chicago.
