to identify separate functional areas
because people work together in

capital is important?

6. The Human Resource
Management
The human resources of an organization are its
employees. Wise organizations look after their staff
on the basis that if they are well trained and
committed to the aims, the organization is more
likely to be successful.
HR aims to ensure that the organization retains good,
experienced people. Analyzing staff-turnover figures
will show the rate at which people leave the
organization. If these are high, it is important to
identify and remedy any problem areas.
