The concentration is fully done upon needs &requirements of individual employees. Since focus is entirely given to the needs andrequirements of people the employee-turnover rate is low in organisations which imply softHRM. Contrasting both the approaches: The hard approach lays more focus towards making theworkforce cost effective. This ensures that decisions are taken as quickly as possible by makingsenior-managers main focus. The needs of employees are not address properly.
