Abstract : Human resource management (HRM) functions are critical to ensuring an organization's success and sustainability. These functions encompass various activities designed to manage an organization’s employees. This paper examined human resource management functions; recruitment, training, as well as compensation to handle an organization’s most valuable asset in the face of firmness ecological challenges. Drawing on the Resources-Based and Human Capital theories, a case study design was employed in this research and the data were gathered by semi-structured interviews with three participants. Thematic analysis revealed a recruitment focus on targeted sourcing and networking, training priority placed upon mentorship and tailored programmes, as well as compensation alignment with commitment, length of service, and market analysis for an ABC organisation. It was recommended that the HRM should foster further improvement through evaluations and audits continually, enhanced bias training in audit processes and increase transparency of compensation as well as setting Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for HR assessment.
