Introduction

This managing people training was created to provide information about human resource management to entrepreneurs and to develop their skills to effectively and efficiently manage people.

What is managing people?

One of the most important aspects of any business is the Human Resource component. No matter the size of the enterprise, it is critical that the management of the human resources be done strategically and with the interest of all parties in mind.  As a manager, if you cannot manage people, then you cannot manage. Hence, in short, Human Resources is responsible for managing the employee life cycle.

1. The actual staff or people that work in the company
2. A strategic function in the company that helps to manage the people operations to support successful business outcomes.
