Why Is HRM Important to THE ORGANIZATION ?

employee than it does to retain and develop an existing employee.
And this doesn't even take into account the hidden costs associated
with misdirected management time spent on recruiting activities
rather than effectively managing existing staff.
The fact is, employees are the lifeblood of every organization. The
better they are—the better qualified, trained, and managed—the
more effective and profitable your organization will be.
HRM management solutions can help you manage your employees
for greater profit with processes that help ensure:
-HRM can align itself with the organization objectives/strategies.
