Why is human resource management important to all managers? Because You dont want to:
Hire the wrong person for the job Experience high turnover Have your people not doing their best Waste time with useless interviews
Have your firm in court because of discriminatory actions Have some employees think their salaries are unfair and inequitable relative to others in the organization
Allow a lack of training to undermine your departments effectiveness Commit any unfair labor practices
