EFFECTIVE HRM PRACTICES IN PRIVATE SCHOOLS: INSIGHTS FROM CEBU CITY’S EDUCATION SECTOR
Abstract
Human Resource Management (HRM) plays a crucial role in the success of educational institutions, especially private schools, where the quality of education largely depends on the competency and commitment of teachers and staff. This article examines HRM practices among private schools in Cebu City, Philippines, exploring recruitment, training, performance management, and employee relations. The study aims to identify the challenges faced by these schools in managing their human resources and provides recommendations for improving HRM practices. Using a combination of document analysis, interviews, and case studies, this study sheds light on the current HRM practices and their effectiveness in enhancing employee satisfaction and school performance.
