productively to the overall company direction and the accomplishment of the
organization's goals and objectives.

Applies to For-Profits and Nonprofits

Most HRM in Nonprofits are often volunteers and not paid in money but
compensated in other ways but should be treated as employees like the Profitable
organizations.

Functions of HRM
HRs primary purpose is to ensure that the right people are working in the right places to
accomplish the organizations goal.
Balancing the supply of employees with the demand for employees.
Matching the talents and skills of employees with those required by the organization.

- Nominated or elected employees who must be consulted when management makes
decisions involving personnel.
