Human Resource Management focuses on principles, methods, and technologies that are used to improve the productivity of an organisation. HR specialists achieve this through strategies and policies that increase the effectiveness of employees. The employees or staff are also referred to as the human capital, the lifeblood and the most important resource of most organisations. HR is evolving, with the focus changing from the administrative tasks to the strategic input and having a seat at the management table. This is facilitated by the evolving needs of current organisations and by technology, which enables more efficient processing or approval of transactions, budgets, and other financial activities. HR specialists need to understand business strategy. They need to understand what drives business success and how to engage employees and help them develop and adapt in a constantly changing work environment.
