5. An evaluation of the process and the rationale for conducting appropriate HR

practices
The effective presence of potential HR policies and procedures within an organization helps in
ensuring the basic aspects of an organization. It also helps in ensuring that employees of the
organization are able to abide by the potential needs and requirements that are required for the
facilitation of facilitating potential business aims and objectives. The presence of effective HR
policies further helps in receiving adequate compensation to a great extent. It is to be noted that,
proper investment in potential HR practices is essentially linked with lower turnover intentions
and helps in the facilitation of greater employee productivity (Villajos et al, 2019). On the other
hand, it is also suggested that the presence of HR practices are effective for the sole purpose of
improving knowledge of employee skills while enhancing their competencies with the help of
motivation and courage. It cannot be denied that HR tends to play a key role in the development
and reinforcement of changing the culture of an organization. The training and development as
well as the recruitment and reinforcement of the values of the business are considered to be the
significant elements of business culture that are potentially covered by the HR managers of the
organization. The potential HR practices of an organization help the employees to be able to gain

15
insight about the potential skills and competencies that they need to develop in order to facilitate
the initiation of greater employee productivity in an effective manner (Bulińska-Stangrecka and
Bagieńska, 2019).
