The greatest challenge in the 21st century is the challenge of management and its people. Employees are human beings first and then the workers. It is not only information that is causing changes but also a reality in every sphere as well as in the corporate culture too. No doubt, changing technology has created complexities which call for improved managerial practices through the use of the tools of management for growth and development in the 21st century. It is the discovery of the human resources development process and the realization that this single variable of human resource development can account for all other development processes. Human beings are the ultimate. Development is acquisition of capabilities which are needed to do the present job or the future expected job with utmost accuracy considering the goal of the organization. Management of human resources is essential for every organization that would like to be dynamic and growth – oriented as per the requirement to trigger the work force to the right way. Unlike other resources for development and growth, human resources have rather unlimited potential capabilities. Thus, it is now a challenge in the 21st century how to manage the human resources for streaming up the organization keeping in view that they are not redundant after the job is over. The potentialities of the human resources can be squeezed out not by exploiting but only through the proper use of modern scientific management in the organization and as such the job of the manager becomes more complicated and magnified. Further the job of managing human resources has become more complicated for the increasing awareness of the importance of the human elements in the 21st century.
