Abstract
Human Resource Management (HRM) refers to the structured processes used for managing people within an organization. The main responsibilities of human resource managers generally include recruitment and staffing, employee compensation and benefits, and the design and organization of work roles. The primary objective of HRM is to improve organizational productivity by enhancing the efficiency and performance of employees. Although the business environment is continuously evolving at a rapid pace, this core objective of HRM remains largely unchanged. As Edward L. Gupman stated in the Journal of Business Strategy, the fundamental role of human resources is to attract, develop, and retain skilled employees, align the workforce with organizational goals, and actively contribute to business success. These key responsibilities are constant despite changes in the workplace.
