HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
The human resource professionals are the most important part of any organization, they
carry out most important functions related to the recruitment, selection, training and development
and retention of the employees within an organization. The Human resource professionals are
strategic partners to an organization. The most important functions performed by the human
resource department are that they hire human resources for an organization. The recruitment of
the employees and further retaining them is also one of the most difficult tasks that HR
professionals perform (Berman et al. 2016).
According to Peter Cappelli (2015) it is very important that the hr managers set an
agenda they are required to show the reason why the issues addressed within an organization are
important and what are the measures to solve those problems. He further says that doing what the
CEO might not be always useful, because the CEOs are chief operating officers and they do not
know about the workplace of the organization (Capelli 2015). Therefore, it is the duty of the hr
managers to provide insight in this regard. On the other hand the hr professionals are expected to
think beyond their functional goals and objectives and thinks strategically for which they need
the support of CEO, both CEO and hr professionals are required to share their knowledge and
information to work in coordination so that organizational goal can be achieved.
