Company (Jinnah Foundries)?

workforce which will increase the production of the organization and HR reduces the
workload of supervisors by making the turnover rate minimum and the work is
distributed among the members which leads to the efficiently performing the work tasks.
HR maintains the payroll systems, and benefits the employees by giving them monthly
salary packages with compensation benefits and stop giving wages to the employees.

they were facing several issues and Hamza suggested to develop Human resource
department. The possible benefits of placing human resource workforce in the company
is as follows:

the order received from the clients.

the order

everyone depends on top management for every decision. The HR department is missing,
monthly salaries are not settled with employees, the skilled and experienced employees
