Introduction
HRM in an organisation plays significant role in order to recruit and select effective
employee who are suitable for the organisational aims and objectives. In this regard, it can be
stated that the role of the HR in an organisation does not limited in the recruitment and selection
process. Rather the HR department has dynamic activity in terms of making better
communication with the employees (Brewster and Hegewisch 2017). In fact, the employees can
ventilate their grievances to the HR and hope to get proper justice. Therefore, it can be argued
that the role of HRM in an organisation is identified as an important aspect to make amicable and
healthy relationship between the employees and the company. In other words, the HRM is a
bridge of communication between the company and its employees and make a collaboration of
the interests of both the organisation and the workers in order to establish a sustainable business

operational function, managerial functions and the advisory responsibilities. In the research of
Bardoel et al. (2014) it can be seen that the operational functions are comprised with recruitment,
training and development, compensation and benefits. Besides this the managerial function is
related to the planning, organising, directing and controlling the employee within the workplace.
Moreover, the advisory functions of the HRM can be referred as the top management advice and
the departmental head advice. It connotes the advice on the policies and the procedures that the
management decides to focus on (Arulrajah 2015). However, having in-depth understanding of
the employee interests the HR manager will influence the decision making in accordance with
both the interests of the organisation and the employees.
Recruitment and training
It can be seen that the most prominent task of the HRM is to organise a recruitment and
