Overview:

  • Human resources is the study of the role of the human element in the work environment. It analyzes the policies and techniques implemented for improving people’s effectiveness in the organization, as well as for increasing satisfaction levels achieved from these roles.
  • Human resource policy involves the development, allocation, maintenance and utilization of human resources. Activities include developing the skills of the workers to reach optimal efficiency and satisfaction; successfully matching workers' skills with their organizational roles; preserving the vigor of the working population through adequate support systems such as workers’ compensation and social security; and designing and implementing policies that help reduce inefficiencies, such as discriminatory practices that may evolve from the working relationship.
