Introduction An organization is nothing without its HR. What is IBM without its employees? A lot of factories, expensive equipments, and some impressive bank balances. Similarly, if we remove employees from such varied organizations as Ranchi university, TISCO, Indian Army, etc. what would we have left? Not much.
The above paragraph is meant to dramatize something that most of take for granted. When we think of the millions of organizations that provide us with goods and services, any one or more of which will probably employ us during our life time, how often do we explicitly consider that these organizations depend on people to make them operate?
Introduction It is only under unusual circumstances, such as when the clerks go on a strike at the local supermarket or the employees walk out in a company, that we recognize the important role that they play in making the organizations work.
But how did these people come to be the employees in their organizations? How were they found out and selected? Why do they come to work on a regular basis?
How do they know what to do on their jobs? How does management know whether employees are performing adequately or not.
If they are not ,what can be done about it? Will today ’ s employees be prepared for the work the organization will require of them in 5,10, 15 years?

Conclusion This discipline of management has also been undergoing several changes. This discipline has been changed from labor management to personnel management and recently to Human Resource Management.
However, there is a growing awareness about the importance of the human side of enterprises, to overall progress. There is a realization now that, even in the sphere of technology, it is the automation in the minds of people that worries the most than the automation of machines.
Conclusion There are no two opinions on the fact that it is people, not science and technology, which will determine our future, and also that of the organizations and the world we live in and the way we live.
Conclusion In that sense, the personnel functions, which had an inauspicious beginning in the 1920s will blossom into a profession when its outlook becomes more philosophical and the focus rests on upholding human values.
