- People are the most important asset of business.
- Other resources depend on human effort and skill.
- Success depends on the calibre and dedication of employees.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Human Resources Management and the Human Resources Department are the same thing.
Human resources only means the employees in an organisation, not the importance of those employees.
The success of a business depends mainly on machines, money, or materials rather than people.
