According to Al-dwani (2014), “encouraging employees to present the best of their performance in order to accomplish the organization's goals and objectives” come one on one with the implementation of successful human resource management strategies. This is critical as the strategies will be implemented in a healthy way that the employees are familiar with thereby presenting positive results in human resource management.

(2014), there is need to be gender-neutral age management to understand the relation between age and human resource management. The study also explores the different needs and expectations that ageing employees may have in terms of HR practices and policies. Age blind practices are also found to be affecting human resource management in both the external and internal organizational context.
Bonenberger et al. (2014) on their part explores employee motivation and job satisfaction on turnover. They identified that these factors are important in employee retention and performance. Therefore, the human resource leadership has to improve on such factors if they were to retain the employees in the workforce and reduce the likelihood for turnover.
Quality work life policies are increasingly being used by organizations. Companies and human resource departments in general realized that in order to maintain employee work life balance with equal attention on performance and commitment at work, they need to focus on quality work life policies. They further indicate that “the success of any organization is highly dependent on how it attracts recruits, motivates, and retains its workforce.”
