The purpose of Human Resource Management is essentially to enhance the efficiency of the organization, to allow and indeed nurture the personal growth and well-being of the staff and to create a facilitating environment and an organizational culture that removes impediments and irritants and fosters a feeling of pride and belonging – an internal brand building.
The first and primary concern is thus organizational efficiency - traditionally HRM addresses this issue by putting in place HR systems that address issues of recruitment, placements, training and capacity building, performance appraisal and finally what is broadly grouped under the rubric - compensation, rewards and recognition.
