Importance of HRM
The purpose of HRM is to maximize the productivity of an organization by optimizing the effectiveness of its employees. On the other hand main objective of HRM is to recruit, retain, train and keep employees satisfied. These responsibilities can be challenging in the 21st century, especially with changing roles, multi-generational work force and globalization.

All organizations are thriving to recruit highly performing individuals to meet the organizational objectives and achieve competitive advantages. On the other hand, In order to reach individual objectives, they need supportive organizational culture. Therefore an organization is a consciously
Coordinated system where characteristics of individuals, groups and organization interact with each other and effective interaction among them highly depends on organizational culture.

As Tharp (2016) stated, some organizations emphasize adaptation, change, and organic processes (like most start-up companies) while others are effective in emphasizing stable, predictable and mechanistic process.

Generally high performance are more appreciated and promoted than low performer. Evaluation of employee performance basically depend on various factors such as Performance Appraisals and employee recognition, Training and Development, Job Security, Organizational structure, Employee satisfaction and Motivation and Compensation (Anon, 2013)

Human Resource Managers face myriad challenges with today’s workforce. Operating Human resources across geographic and cultural boundaries can often prove difficult for managers.


HRM is defined that as a coherent and strategic approach, which is the most valued assets of company and employees individually and collectively contributes to the achievements of its objectives in the business context (Armstrong, 2014)


Compliance with international lows  

As business begin to expand in to the global market place or as they hire employees from diverse geographic and cultural backgrounds, they may have to adopt to new labor laws. Keeping well informed of the legal requirements for the business operations can help alleviate some of this complexity.

Cultural diversity


Understanding and maintaining cultural diversity, is a client issue in International HRM. Working with people from different locations from different cultural backgrounds mean adapting the businesses work style to new ideas, new ways of communicating and unfamiliar social practices.
