Managing human resources in an organisation is extremely vital to ensure the business goals are met and at the same time ensure the people’s agenda objectives are achieved. The Human Resources Department is entrusted to lead and manage the human resource topics are evolving. As companies operating norms continue to evolve, the Human Resources Department must move from a transactional role to a strategic role. Human Resources must aim to be a strategic partner for the business. To achieve this objective, an inclusive operating climate is necessary. As such, the involvement of line managers or people managers must be enlisted and trained in managing people effectively. The line managers or people managers which include anyone managing a group of employees/team must be able to gain the support and trust of their team to ensure the business objectives are met. Managers who get things done through the efforts of others must be well trained to manage them and understand the various challenges and constraints that come with it.
