Human Resource Development (HRD) is a strategic and comprehensive management area that involves establishing policies, practices, and administrative structures that focus on an organization’s most valuable resource--its people.
HRD is a leadership, financial, and management issue. Personnel costs consume 70 to 80% of the budget of most organizations. Managing human resources effectively and efficiently plays a critical role in ensuring that a satisfied, motivated work force delivers quality health services. It also plays an important role in increasing staff performance and productivity, enhancing an organization’s competitive advantage, and contributing directly to organizational goals.
