Introduction

The management of human resources in an organisation is a most important issue. Organisations are successful when they have the right people, doing the right things.

However, this goal is anything but simple. Organisations, large and small, struggle to find volunteers, keep people on the committee, and deal with the conflict that often arises within the ranks of organisation personnel.

There are no easy answers to developing the human resource pool of an organisation but these pages present some principles and concepts that can be applied.

It would be safe to assume that success in human resource development will not be due to accident but consistent effort over time following a plan.
