(KN) One way HRM could help a business achieve its objectives is by recruitment or staffing.
(APP) For example, if there is a vacancy for a job at business A, HRM would be responsible for finding a talented and a perfect fit for that specific role.
(AN) This gives the company more time to focus on chasing more important goals such as capturing a larger market share, meaning the workload is equally balanced between each department of the business, leading to high efficiency and a motivated workforce.
(AN+) This motivated workforce helps rise the productivity to a greater extent, allowing more profit to flow into the business and a larger portion of it to be reinvested.
(KN) Another way HRM could help a business achieve its objectives is by providing free healthcare to the employees.
(APP) For example, if an employee of business A suddenly requires a heart bypass surgery, which is very expensive, providing free healthcare would be extremely helpful and life saving as the employee would have not been able to get the surgery done with their own money.
(AN) This means that a huge part of employees' expenses would already be satisfied with the help of HRM and it would give them a sense of relief knowing that their health is in safe hands as long as they keep working for the business, pushing them to please their seniors to a greater extent and avoid any errors in their tasks that could lead to their dismissal, and eventually the loss of free healthcare.
(AN+) The business, is eventually benefitting from this as the employees' will to reduce errors would mean better quality products, leading to higher customer satisfaction and an increased number of loyal customers.

One way HRM can help achieve business objectives is through effective recruitment and selection.
For example, hiring skilled sales staff in a retail company can directly boost revenue targets.
The right employees improve efficiency, enhance customer satisfaction, and increase productivity — all supporting growth and profit goals.
In the long term, strong recruitment reduces turnover, saves hiring costs, and builds a reliable workforce that maintains consistent performance.
Another way is by providing training and development for workers.
A hotel that trains staff in customer service can improve guest experience and brand reputation.
Better-trained employees perform tasks more effectively, reduce errors, and stay motivated, helping the business meet long-term performance objectives.
Ongoing training also helps the firm adapt to market changes, maintain competitiveness, and encourage employee loyalty over time.
