Dear Sir,

The globalisation and intense competition has led to the increased significance of

Human Resources as part of an organization's intangible resources. Therefore HR is

organizational Core competencies and its competitive advantages. Thus through an

efficient HR system, a company's employees become strategic assets.

Human Resource Management Practices and their impact on employee turnover,

productivity and corporate financial performance. This may hopefully provide a

knowledge base with practical implication to the HRM professionals and academics

apart from fulfilling my academic interest.
