The human resource of an organization is therefore a significant resources of a distinctive competence that requires to be managed sustained and planned for in it is the organization will survive and grow to be able face future challenges. This is so because the human resources of an enterprise are the most active variable that activates the passive or inactive resources like capital and material in organization to achieve result. (Inyang, 2002)

According to Grand and Smith cited in (Inyang 2002), human resources of an enterprise is the most difficult to obtain, the most expensive to maintain and the hardest to retain.

The policy therefore provides guidelines for a variety of employment related issues as recruitment, selection, training, promotion, wages, collective bargaining, individual relation etc. a personal policy on training and staff management opportunities for employees to utilize the full potential in the organization.
