What Is Human Resources and Why Is It the Heart of Every Organization?
Every organization – whether it is a small business with five employees or a multinational corporation with fifty thousand – needs people to make it work. And managing those people effectively requires a specialized set of skills. That is what Human Resources (HR) is all about.
Human Resources is the department responsible for finding the right people, helping them grow, keeping them happy and productive, and making sure the organization follows all relevant laws related to employment. Good HR management can make a company thrive. Poor HR management can lead to high employee turnover, legal problems, low morale, and business failure.
