HRM Reflective Overview

Introduction

In my opinion, one of the most important is the HRM or the Human Resources Management. In fact, there were a number of things I learned in my first year regarding various different aspects of the field. The first and most important was the fact that the Human Resource is a very wide field and it accommodates wide range of important aspects of effective management. Another important thing that I have learned is the importance of leadership, its different types and its impact on both the employees and the overall Organization. The next most important thing I learned is how important it is for the Organizations to keep their employees motivated.
