Human Resource Management
Human resources are like natural resources; they're often buried deep. You have to go looking for them, they're not just lying around on the surface. You have to create the circumstances where they show themselves. — Ken Robinson
People are the greatest asset of any business. The fact that over half a million human resource professionals are currently employed in the United States demonstrates the widespread need for qualified people to fill the many career positions available. Human resource professionals are needed to ensure that firms adhere to changing, complex employment laws regarding occupational safety and health, equal employment opportunity, healthcare, wages, and retirement plans. Strong interpersonal skills and a love of working with people are vital for a human resource professional.
