Introduction

The Human Resource Management (HRM) runs all the activities to manage the human skills and talents to use them effectively to produce an output. Small-scale and large-scale organizations all perform the HR functions and activities to achieve the organization aims and goals. The primary function of Human Resource Management is to increase the effectiveness and contribution of employees in the attainment of organizational goals and objectives. The Human Resource Management is linked with the Information Technology (IT) department for all the internal communications and functions to be performed while HRM carry's out any activities or implements any strategy (Abella, O.V., 2006).

The most common functions issues that the HRM operates are the management of the workforce, recruitment, training, rewarding, selection, and promoting, compensating, redundancy, dismissal, disciplining and employee benefits. The IT department creates a communicating software like an automated ERP to carry all the processing of administrative and complex procedures for the HRM. The HR department is necessary because it has the authority to decide all the terms and conditions for an individual and the organization itself. The main function they carry out is the recruitment of an employee. The tracking over his/her skills, capabilities, performance and providing guidance, advice, service, implementing and creating policies are all being conducted by the HR managers (SAO, 2013).
