In organization’s human capital management philosophy must value the workforce as a key asset that will define an organization’s character and performance capacity (Champion-Hughes, 2001). This is a very basic idea that leads to enormously positive results. Abramson and group (2002) stated that human capital is a critical factor that would either lead the organization to success or to failure. Now that the value of the workforce has been realized, human capital management is believed to be the critical link in a modern performance management program, which promotes a healthy employee relations agenda. According to Walker (2000), the concern in a modern performance management program is on the achievement of the desired results or outcomes, measured by their impact and not by their quantity. Treating the employees as champions and as a significant aspect of the organization naturally results to other positive outcomes. One of which is the improvement of the overall organizational performance (Brewer & Selden, 2000). In the current job market, private and public sectors are both engaged in “war for talents” as their concern is on the recruitment, development and retention of talented and bright employees (Abramson, et al., 2002). In this regard, the organization must be able to utilize a strategy and management system that will enhance the performance of the business so as to outgrow its rivals (Thompson et al., 2004; Pearce & Robinson, 2000). The most vital asset of an organization is its employees. This paper explores the case of Wal-Mart particularly its human resource management (HRM) issues and strategies

Corporate is facing a lot of problems in employee retention these days. Hiring knowledgeable people for the job is essential for an employer. But retention is even more important than hiring. There is no dearth of opportunities for a talented person. There are many organizations which are looking for such employees. If a person is not satisfied by the job he’s doing, he may switch over to some other more suitable job. In today’s environment it becomes very important for organizations to retain their employees.
