Human Resource Management (HRM) is a strategic and comprehensive approach to managing people within an organisation. It involves recruiting, hiring, training, evaluating, and rewarding employees to maximise their performance and align with the organisation’s goals. HRM also ensures compliance with labour laws, fosters a positive workplace culture, and supports employee development and well-being. By managing workforce planning, performance, compensation, and employee relations, HRM plays a vital role in organisational success. In today’s dynamic business environment, HRM is increasingly data-driven and aligned with long-term strategic planning, making it an essential function in both large corporations and small enterprises.

Multiplicity of trade unions
According to the Trade Unions Act, 1926, in India, any seven persons can form a union. This Act allows such people to raise issues, such as initiate arguments, file suits and even bargain with employers. As there are no limits to the formation of unions in one organization, small sections of workers form separate unions.
Although a strong union fights for the welfare and interest of the workers, and helps in organizational stability and growth, the existence of several trade unions in one institution may act as a barrier in collective bargaining. As a result, the growth and welfare of the both the employees and the organization may be affected.
Issues due to multiplicity of trade unions
Several trade unions in one organization can result in several problems, affecting the growth and stability of both the workers and the organization. Some of these issues are:
Limited representation Inter-union opposition
Limited representation: Multiplicity of trade unions in an organization have small portion of the total workforce. Each union has its own issues and requirements. As a result, it is difficult for all the unions to unite as a single body and make a single list of demands. The multiple trade unions therefore make the bargaining power of the workers very weak.
Inter-union opposition: Multiple trade unions in an institution also lead to inter-union contention. Unions try every possible measure to get a stronger hold on the workers. This results in the loss of interest of the workers in unionism. In such situations, deceitful employers take advantage of this rivalry and may refuse to bargain saying that there is a lack of a strong representative union.
