Without human resources management, companies would not be able to effectively recruit and
retain employees, improve and enhance the organization, and they wouldn’t be able to maintain a
healthy, accepting workplace culture and environment. In a view of the fact that Human

potentials, capabilities and strengths of human beings in work place, to develop their
productivity as well as to ensure the protection of rights, social security, and justice for them.
