Introduction

Human resource management is regarded as the heart and blood of the organization. Every company faces issues regarded human resource; those who value talented human resource are the winners in contemporary society. This assignment is based on a case which is associated with human resource management. Bolton wanderers a highly reputable club has employees a team of sports professional, a nutritionist and four physiotherapist. The sport coaches and physiotherapist all are male, whereas the nutrient is female. In this case, the female coach has recently raised a grievance on low salary scale.
