Effective human resource management practices are the key to the success of any organization. Managing human resources is one of the most challenging tasks in an organization.

Human resource management is wide in scope and covers a spectrum of activities ranging from manpower planning and recruitment to training and performance management. Changes in the business scenario and the growing competition to recruit and retain efficient workers have added to the complexity of a human resource manager’s job. The successful management of an organization’s human resources is an exciting, dynamic and challenging task, more so in light of the increasingly global nature of businesses.
