Question

Henry, the production manager for a chemical plant, resents what he feels are unwarranted intrusions into his territory by HR managers. Henry feels that his relationships with his employees are strong and supportive, and that HR initiatives generally cause unnecessary trouble and complications.

Answer 1

The correct answer is d) Henry would be surprised to learn that every manager, including him, is an HR manager.

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's analyze all the options.

a) It is wrong because even though the HR function is to check out the behavioral and experiences of everyone in the institution. Human interaction and performance are part of their field and also are day-to-day management functions because they happen every day at any moment.

b.It is wrong because HR managers don't only have the task to check out that the company policies apply to all the employees, anything further than this will be incorrect due to the wrong association.

c.It is wrong because the point of the argument is that Henry believes that he has the best opinion and perspective to carry on his relationships with his employees. Not that we have solid evidence of Henry's wrongdoings.

Therefore option d) is correct because he has to manage all in the company but also, carrying on his relationships with his employees falls into HR managing as well as any other manager because they have to manage Human capital.
