Introduction
Human resource management refers to the exercise or function through which an organization will be able to maximize the productivity of its employees through set strategic objectives. Human resource management determines the motivation that employees of an organization have to work at the employing organization. This is because human resource management deals with all aspects that pertain to the workplace environment including salaries and wages. Therefore, it is important for an organization to perform quality human resource management right from the recruitment of an individual to the retirement of the individual. In the case that an organization mistreats its employees, the employees will not perform to their maximum potential thereby reducing the productivity of the organization and by extension, the organizations profit margins (Hurn, 2007).

In simple terms, happy employees contribute to the success of the company because of their motivation to work. Performance, productivity, quality, and specialization qualities will improve once they are happy. In addition, human resource management is a strategy in that; through human resource management, a company is able to decide on the special qualities apart from education level and skill that it is looking for in new recruits. These qualities define the employees of an organization. For example, an organization can decide to recruit kindhearted employees and progressively, the market will associate the kind-heartedness of the employees
