Human resource management (HRM) is the planned approach to the management of an organization’s most valued assets – the employers and employees who contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the business. The goal of human resource management is to help an organization to meet strategic goals by attracting, and maintaining employees and also to manage them effectively. Human resource management comprises several processes. These processes can be performed in an HR department, but some tasks can also be outsourced or performed by line-managers or other departments.
