“It goes without saying that no company, small or large, can win over the long run without energized employees who believe in the mission and understand how to achieve it.” – Jack Welch, former CEO of GE
The main role of human resources is to facilitate the alignment of human capital with organizational goals.
Human resource management activities are carried out by all those in a leadership role in an organisation. In most situations, such leaders fulfil their human resource responsibilities within a clear human resource policy framework.
