Human Resource Management is the legal liaison between the organisation and the employees, in which both have to uphold employment law as well as follow the practices, which may differ within legal guidelines that the employer authorizes. Corporations are always searching for better ways to produce goods and services. When new technological developments give some organisations a competitive advantage, their rivals try to catch up by adopting and improving on the new technologies.

A large part of this growth is the Human Resources department of these companies, who are responsible for hiring the people with the knowledge to bring new technology into a company. To be successful in the automotive market, these companies needs a highly skilled, flexible and committed work force, a flexible and innovative management, the ability to retain developed talent, and a strong partnership between management and labour unions.
