Problem:

The evidence from research into the link between HRM and organizational performance is now compelling - organizations that pay attention to their human resource strategies and policies outperform those that do not. It is widely accepted that in the field of human resources management there are several critical areas which make the difference. According to recent research there are a number of HR practices found in high performing business. These are:

1. Employment security

2. Selective hiring

3. Self-management and local decision making

4. Comparatively high compensation linked to organization performance

5. Extensive education and training

6. Reduced statues distinctions

7. Extensive sharing of performance and financial information

8. The importance of managing corporate culture as part of overall HRM strategy

All the above practices are inter-linked and mutually dependent. In times of fast change, globalisation and increasing competition, these elements are not easy to manage. Successful companies are those that manage to balance these elements effectively.
