JSF,

The list is exhaustive, and I also appreciate it. But everything that was indicated in the list sounds bookish, not a criticism, but just thought of saying that this is a consolidated list of HR TERMINOLOGY given for a bunch of HR Practices. We can speak about it in a more specific and practical manner. I welcome the comments.

Hi,

A few of these tips can be used in organizations. The first thing that needs to be done is to authorize HR to make decisions on their own and provide HR with all kinds of resources, which is not happening in many organizations.
