Human resource management (HRM or HR) is the management of human resources.

It is designed to maximize employee performance in service of an employer's strategic objectives.

HR is primarily concerned with the management of people within organizations, focusing on policies and on systems.

HR departments are responsible for overseeing employee benefits design, employee recruitment, training and development, performance appraisal, and rewarding (e.g., managing pay and benefit systems).

HR also concerns itself with organizational change and industrial relations, that is, the balancing of organizational practices with requirements arising from collective bargaining and from governmental laws.

Human resources are the people who make up the workforce of an organization, business sector, or economy.

"Human capital" is sometimes used synonymously with "human resources", although human capital typically refers to a more narrow view (i.e., the knowledge the individuals embody and economic growth).

Likewise, other terms sometimes used include "manpower", "talent", "labour", "personnel", or simply "people".

Human resource management regards training and development as a function concerned with organizational activity aimed at bettering the job performance of individuals and groups in organizational settings.

Training and development can be described as "an educational process which involves the sharpening of skills, concepts, changing of attitude and gaining more knowledge to enhance the performance of employees".

A board of directors is a body of elected or appointed members who jointly oversee the activities of a corporation or organization, which can include a non-profit organization or a government agency.

A board of directors' activities are determined by the powers, duties and responsibilities conferred on it by an authority outside itself.

These matters are typically detailed in regulations (including the jurisdiction's corporations law) or in the organization's constitution and bylaws.

These authorities may specify the number of members of the board, how they are to be chosen, and how often they are to meet.

However, the constitution and bylaws rarely address a board's powers when faced with a corporate turnaround, restructuring, or emergencies, where board members need to act as agents of change in addition to their traditional fiduciary responsibilities.

Globalization or globalisation (see spelling differences) is the action or procedure of international integration arising from the interchange of world views, products, ideas, and other aspects of culture.

Advances in transportation (such as the steam locomotive, steamship, jet engine, and container ships) and in telecommunications infrastructure (including the rise of the telegraph and its modern offspring, the Internet and mobile phones) have been major factors in globalization, generating further interdependence of economic and cultural activities.
