The human resource of a company refers to all the employees and to ensure proper management, adequate strategies must be put in place. Human resource management involves various activities to ensure employees of the company facilitate the achievement of the organisation's goals. Some of the functions as outlined above are

• Training - Training aims at giving the new employees proper orientation of their working environment. It is also useful for the rest of the employees to ensure they improve their skills from time to time and keep up with any changes in the industry and the economy at large.
• Appraising - After successful recruitment, the employees are issued with their job descriptions and the KPIs (Key performance indicators) which are used periodically by the supervisors to evaluate the employees' performance and pass recommendations to the human resource department.
• Compensation of employees - Compensation of employees may be in the form of their salaries and wages and other benefits including retirement benefits.
• Health and safety - This aims at ensuring the employees have proper working equipment and that the environment is safe to work. Some institutions also provide employees with health cover.
• Attending to their labor relations and fairness concerns - The human resource department addressees the concerns of the employees to ensure they are motivated and fair treatment is given to each person. It is also tasked with being informed of the labour laws and ensures they address any crisis that may arise.
