Introduction Human resource management is basically the process of organizing and directing employees of an organization so as to obtain the targets set by an organization. It entails various issues affecting employees in any organization; these include recruitment, staffing, orientation, staff placement, training, retirement, benefits of employees, safety, compensation, motivation and many others. Human resource is an essential factor of production and just like the other resources of an organization it needs to be properly managed due to the fact that it is valuable. It works to relate the top management who issue policies with the sub-ordinate who implement them. All organizations no matter the size require human resource managers so as to maximize its productivity (Chan 1). The human resource department of any organization bridges the gap between the top management and the sub-ordinate employees. A human resource manager has the obligation of making a decision on what staffing technique to employ depending on the needs and requirements of the organization. This is also the person who will determine how long employees work for an organization and if people will be attracted and contented to work for the organization.

To overcome the effects of globalization, a strategic human resource management system has to be put in place which integrates and adapts different situations. Another challenge faced by the Human resource managers is the issue of managing change and competition. The general overview of the Human resource management is rapidly changing and the conditions will not be the same in the future. This therefore calls for the human resource managers to be aggressive to overcome the change or be ready to handle it as it comes. For example in the near future employees will be able to diversify their places of work and work in places away from the organization’s premises. In this context the human resource managers will have no one at hand to manage. Also the employees will be rated according to their output results and not the number of hours worked. Thus specialization will be more common since employees will prefer to work on what they can handle best. This a
