Introduction:
Human resource defines employees as a resource, an asset, that provides competitive advantage to an organization, and on whom organizational success is leveraged. The HR strategy is carefully linked to the Vision, Mission and overall business strategy of the Company. A human resource strategy is devised in respect of recruitment, employee deployment, motivation and engagement, and employee retention. By doing this, an organization puts itself in the position of being able to achieve its mission and objectives through its human resources. This is the effective way of organizing the workforce by the adoption of a specific strategy, where employees' performance can help to achieve the planned organizational targets, such as increasing revenue or improving the profit margin. The human resource activities are linked to the achievement of the organization's overall objectives.
