Human resource managers are largely responsible for creating and managing the workforce policies and guidelines of an organization. By encouraging both the leadership of an organization and employees, they acknowledge and comply with the organizational policies. Additionally, the human resource management (HRM) team ensures that the organization’s workforce policies align with the corporate mission and goals, ultimately resulting in the organizations ability to attract and retain a diverse workforce.
