No organization can succeed without harnessing the talents and abilities of its employees. Companies
that successfully attract, retain and support the best employees gain a strategic advantage over their
competitors through increased performance and reduced turnover costs. Decisions about when and whom

and benefits, and government legislation.

develop approaches to resolving these problems in the workplace through various methods learned in
class.
4. Identify and predict human resource management trends in the industry and develop proactive solutions
and techniques of adaptation to changing industry demand.
