Similarly, human resource management (HRM) practices are a set of innovative practices which usually include self-managed teams which are highly encouraged in problem solving and decision making with open minds to discussions between employees and employer coupled with active involvement in decision making. That is, the philosophy of HRM is empowerment and autonomy of employees. Also, HRM practices are designed to improve employee relations and increase organizational performance and profitability through quality communication and consultation between management and employees. Some survey evidence indicates that there is much HRM Practices in form of employee involvement taking place in most countries. Underpinning such practices is a relationship based on a high level of trust between senior management and employees.
