Its techniques force the managers of an enterprise to express their goals with specificity so that they can understood and undertaken by the workforce and to provide the resources needed for them to successfully accomplish their assignments. As such, HRM techniques, when properly practiced, are expressive of the goals and operating practices of the enterprise overall. HRM is also seen by many to have a key role in risk reduction within organizations. The HRM function and HRD profession have undergone tremendous change over the past 20–30 years. Many years ago, large organizations looked to the “personnel Department”, mostly to manage the paperwork around hiring and paying people. More recently, organizations consider the “HR Department” as playing a major role in staffing, training and helping to manage people so that people and the organization are performing at maximum capability in a highly fulfilling manner.
