Human Capital management plays an imperative role in honing the
skills of employees and making them reliable resources. 
•Human Capital management helps in hiring the right candidate for the
right job, properly orienting him to the organization and constantly
upgrading his/her existing knowledge.

•An organization needs to invest its time and energy in its employees
through various internal and external trainings, team building exercises
(activities which bring out the best in employees) to expect dedication,
sincerity, hard work and loyalty in return.

•Organizations are benefitted when specialized and already experienced

people are hired for the right job. In such cases, an organization does not
need to spend much of its time in training an employee. Employees with
prior in depth knowledge can take charge immediately, without wasting
time of superiors or senior management.

their roles and responsibilities, strategies to be made for the organization and how
to implement the same in the right direction to achieve the goals and objectives.
