training activities. The basic goal of appraisal is to
provide feedback to employees concerning their
performance

HRM duties related to paying employees and providing
incentives for them. HRM professionals are typically
charged with developing wage and salary systems that
accomplish specific organizational objectives, such as
employee retention, quality, satisfaction, and motivation

equity within the organization that doesn't hamper
morale and that provides sufficient financial motivation

health, and worker-management relations. Employee
benefits are non-incentive-oriented compensation, such
as health insurance and free parking, and are often used
to transfer non taxed compensation to employees
 The three major categories of benefits managed by
HRM managers are: employee services, such as
purchasing plans, recreational activities, and legal
services; vacations, holidays, and other allowed
absences; and insurance, retirement, and health benefits

 Industrial relations as the complex interrelations among
managers, workers and agencies of the governments
 Good industrial relations reduce the industrial disputes.
Disputes are reflections of the failure of basic human
urges or motivations to secure adequate satisfaction or
expression which are fully cured by good industrial
relations
