and developing people within an organization to meet its business objectives.

usually connected to businesses with poor human resourcing (bad motivation,
bad identification, bad salaries, bad employee conditions, etc.)
The role of human resource management
(HRM) is the function of the management to recruit, train, compensate and
develop people employed within the business to meet the aims and objectives of
the organization. The human resource department plays different roles within an
organization.
Employees, or the workforce of a business, are one of the most valuable assets of
any organization. HRM ensures that the business has the people it needs to meet
its objectives. There are a number of key roles for HRM in a business:
• Recruitment and selection: hiring the right number of appropriately
qualified and suitable workers at the right times (to fill job vacancies).
• Retention: keeping workers by meeting the needs of the employees
• Induction: training of new employees (norms and operations of the
organization)
• Training and development: improving the competencies, skills and
productivity of the workers.
• Performance management (appraisals): assessing the performance and
effectiveness of employees in relation to their job description holding
them accountable for their performance.
• Absenteeism: dealing with issues that arise when workers are unable to go
to work.
, • Dismissal: letting go of workers no longer needed, maybe due to
underperformance or misconduct in the workplace (discipline and
grievances)
• Payment and remuneration
• Employees welfare
• Redundancies: letting go of workers, often when jobs are no longer
needed
• Workforce (HR) planning: Estimation of future HR needs (type and number
of employees) so the business doesn’t have too many (too much cost) or
too little employees (less productivity)
