Introduction

Every organization is essentially a blend of material and Human Resource

(HR).
Human Resource refers to the knowledge, education, skills, training and
ability of the members of the organization. Human resources are the most
valuable and unique assets of an organization.
Even though specific human resource functions/activities are the
responsibility of the human resource department, the actual management
of human resources is the responsibility of all the managers in an
organization.
The scarcity of talented resources and the growing expectations of the
modern day worker have further increased the complexity of the human
resource function.
