Abstract:
This research paper explores the complex field of modern HRM, with particular attention to the following topics: hiring process components, diversity and inclusion tactics, training and development programs, obstacles and advancements, legal and moral compliance, the critical function
of HR, applicant competency evaluation, and technological integration.
To give a thorough grasp of how these components come together inside
a company's procedures, the research uses Yin's single-case study. Six
(6) human resource practitioners from the municipality of the Mabuhay
Lodging took part in this study. The study revealed several themes, including 1) the hiring process; 2) the influence of inclusion as well as diversity on organizational dynamics; 3) assessing the efficacy of development and training initiatives; 4) resolving issues; 5) guaranteeing legal
and ethical compliance; 6) realizing the critical role of human resources;
7) improving the evaluation of applicant competence; and 8) investigating the consequences of integrating technology in the hiring process. The
study reveals a dynamic interaction between these components, highlighting their combined importance in creating an inclusive, diverse, and
growth-oriented workplace culture. The results reveal the complicated
coordination human resource practitioners need to uphold morality,
overcome barriers, and grow their firms using technology
