Today’s business is defined by the quality of its workforce. It’s often said that even the biggest organisation is only as strong as its weakest link. Worldwide, forward-thinking businesses are becoming increasingly selective with their recruitment and hiring strategies. For the human resource manager, the challenge lies in building a capable and committed workforce with finite resources available. HR personnel assumes responsibility for attracting, hiring, training, and retaining candidates of quality and value to the business. They’re also relied on to detect and address performance issues, handle grievances, control absenteeism, and ensure workplace health and safety regulations are met.
