The goal of the human resources management function in organizations is to develop and maintain effective relationships between employers and employees. Human resource (HR) managers achieve this in a number of ways-matching people's skills to job requirements, developing fair compensation practices, appraising employees' performance levels, developing employees' skills and abilities through training and career planning, implementing productivity improvement programs, and many other activities.

HR managers perform these roles ethically and legally in an ever-changing environment. These changes include new employment laws, the changing skills and demographics of the work force, people expecting more and different things from their employers, and companies becoming increasingly globalized in their operations. The HR manager's job is challenging. HR managers are in high demand.
