the organization's goals, and who does so by managing the efforts of the organization's people.

The functions of managers are Planning, Organizing, Staffing, Leading, and Controlling.
Planning is about establishing standards, goals, and plans. In organizing, managers give tasks to
others, establish channels of communication. In staffing, managers determine who should be
hired, and how to measure performance. In leading, they motivate employees and in Controlling,
they set standards and compare the performances with those standards.

compensating the employees and of attending to their labor relations, health, safety, and fairness
concern. The techniques and processes of Human Resource Management can help the managers
to handle their employees and their activities. They can use these techniques to manage their
employees. Some of the most important techniques related to Human Resource, that a manager
