Abstract {text:bookmark-end} The main objective of the project is to evaluate and analyze the Human resource department activities of the national carrier of Cyprus- “Cyprus Airways”, to find the strengths and the weaknesses of the system and to find out how “Cyprus Airways” keeps pace with the competitive environment of the airlines industry. The objective of this assignment is to describe and critically assess the main activities that are carried out by the HR department in Cyprus Airways. Human Resource Management is considered as one of the major factors that differentiates successful and competitive organizations from unsuccessful ones. A Human Resources Department is responsible for conducting job analysis and generating job descriptions and specifications, in order to identify and determine in detail the duties and requirements of each job and to establish the correlation of employment procedures such as training, selection, compensation and performance appraisal according to the position. (Mello, 2005).Human Resource managers need to work about the lifelong of the organization and having as a goal the greatest production. Adopting a strategic view of HR, involves considering employees as human “assets” and developing appropriate policies and programs as investments in these assets to increase their value to the organization and the marketplace.(Mello.2005). Staffing, training systems and financial incentives are some of the HRM functions that often set one company apart from another. It is crucial to match practices within these and other areas to the strategic goals of the organization. Some of the desired outcomes from all these practices are to reduce staff turnover, increase productivity and profits of the company. {text:bookmark-start} 4.1.
