uman resource.
in Indonesia every period has increased the number working in various companies.
The number of workers who work is dispersed throughout the country, with a preference for large cities with industrial zones that are appealing to potential workers or those who are currently According to the Central Bureau of Statistics, the number of workers in 2022 February was 94.
17% or around 135,611.
90, and in August it was 135,296.
71 or 94.
while in 2023 February it was 94.
55% or around 138,632.
This shows that there was an increase in labour per month in February for one period .
totaling 3,030.
This increase was marked by a decrease in the number of sufferers and the spread of Covid19 and the open access to the Implementation of Restrictions on Community Activities (PPKM) implemented by the government.
Workers of productive age are scattered across many sectors of micro, medium, and manufacturing firms.
The owned labour does an excellent job of generating goods and services to meet market demand as a communal need.
Productive people between the ages of 15 and 64 have job chances in the corporate world.
Of course, this is complemented by work competence, skills, expertise, which is the initial capital, knowledge, experience, and other abilities that are the key appeal for the needs of the business sector .

recruiting personnel, selection, ability tests, training, placement, and assessment.
The workforce has the same job options.
it only remains for the process and conditions that apply to be the process that was passed during the original selection to be the process that was passed during the initial selection.
Furthermore, the selected organisation empowers these employees to fulfil the organization's optimal and humanitarian vision, mission, and goals .
Workers with skills and expertise as initial capital .
uman capita.
can self-develop in order to adapt to and solve problems .
in a complex organisational context.
Workers, as people, must comply with regulations in order to fight for their rights and obligations, and evaluations based on KPIs form the basis of evaluation matrices from internal and external organisations .
Company assets are not always tangible products that are subject to the investment process .
Labour assets have an important role in increasing firm performance, including the acquisition of future earnings .
, .
The human resources department manages business assets such as manpower, from workforce planning to recruiting, selection, training, and placement .
It is envisaged that this process will result in the development of abilities, skills, competencies, and capabilities as a firm need to realise the vision, purpose, and business goals and raise the economic value of the business held .
Labour as business capital has economic worth that can develop in accordance with the organization's direction and goals, as well as overcome organisational issues through a competent internal control system .
Meanwhile, human resources support operational tasks in order to attain high profit levels .
It is undoubtedly inseparable from the burden borne by the corporation while managing the workforce through human capital and human resources .
Perspective on human resources Investment in strengthening human resource self-development, such as training, workshops, and developing other competencies possessed by human resource development, is required to manage the borne burden .
These assets are, of course, not cheap to manage.
Employee benefits in the form of money for workers or wages and welfare for employees can give worker welfare based on the services supplied by employees to the organization .
Employee benefits are governed by government rules, in this example the municipal minimum wage (UMK) or regional minimum pay (UMR), which rises annually in response to increases in the price of commodities required .
The intricacy of employment varies greatly, ranging from simple to sophisticated .
Where managing human resources is difficult, one example is labour welfare, which is divided into: .
occupational safety and health (K.
, and .
labour rights, .
Workers' wages, .
Length of time working, .
Termination of employment, .
Quality of human resources, .
The ability of the company/organization to pay for labour .
From these problems it leads to the company's ability to manage finances for its workforce .
Companies that have business capabilities in a specific time period earn large earnings.
of course, they can make payments on time.
However, if the organisation does not generate profits, it faces a significant risk in managing company activities, including employee payments .
