Human Resource Management (HRM) is concerned with managing people effectively so that organisational objectives can be achieved while employees receive opportunities for growth, satisfaction and development. In project planning, monitoring and evaluation, human resources are particularly important because the success of a project depends on selecting suitable people, assigning responsibilities, developing their capabilities and evaluating their performance. One of the main functions of HRM is human resource planning. It involves estimating the number and type of employees required to accomplish organisational and project objectives. HR planning identifies present and future manpower requirements, analyses available skills and prepares strategies to overcome shortages or surpluses. In project work, proper planning ensures that skilled personnel are available at the right time and in the right positions. Recruitment and selection are another important function.
