Carrying too much inventory ties up capital, is usually inefficient, requires extra storage space, and for items with a limited shelf life may lead to costly disposal actions

Human Resources

The division of an agency or institution focused on activities relating to employees. Activities include recruiting and hiring new employees, growth and development of current employees, employee benefits, workforce planning, and employee retention

Grievance
