An effective human resources practice by SMEs has the potential to help boost their growth. It is common to
associate SMEs with poverty in terms of resources, putting them at a disadvantage having regard to large
enterprises. With SMEs, HRM is more modestly practiced and sometimes even without any professional
expertise. The lack of expertise in HRM is the source of the low number of initiatives regarding the
establishment of procedures called HR in smaller businesses. The latter prefer using law enforcement or simply
imitating the practices set up in other organizations. These issues pose a constant challenge to SMEs.
