People are the most important asset in an organization, we all know (or should know that). Even though the company´s goal should be to maximize profits, having a workplace that is characterized by good HRM practices will help attracting talents. Essentially, quality of life at work and well-being are just as important as career development opportunities. So how to select the best people? What criteria and techniques should you use? How do you know if the person-organization fit is adequate? How can the company establish training and career development opportunities? What about flexibility and work-life balance? How can make the work environment be a healthy, and great place for colleagues to be friends, while still getting the work done? And when and how to decide to discharge people?
