Nothing can be processed without the aid of Human Resources even technology. After recognising human beings as an asset, the organisation created a policy in the form of a Human Resources Policy that outlines all of the rules and regulations that apply to employees. Finding new approaches used by the human resource department is the main goal of this study. The Apollo Hospital was a potential study site for the author.
Methodology: Secondary data provide the foundation of this qualitative study. The study papers that have been published in reputable journals, periodicals, and articles are the source of secondary data. Information about the HR practises is gathered from the company website and journals from google scholar.
