Editor’s Corner
Human Resource Is What Runs A Business
Human Resource is a great profession but a tough job to do. There is nothing more important than hiring and developing people because, at the end of the day, all businesses bet on people for growth and not strategies. Finding and recruiting new talent, training, and developing workers, engaging employees, resolving conflict, keeping the company out of court, and keeping an eye on productivity are just some of the hundreds of things HR professionals do.
