I think that functions of human resource management are important and will help in any field of work. The attempt to reduce turnover is very important for projects. If there are members of the team that are leaving and coming in, it can hurt the project. When a new member comes in during a project it takes time to get them up to speed of what is being worked on. There is also time being spent to find the person to fill in the open position. Hiring for fit is important for device projects so that you hire with a purpose. You don’t want to hire someone that will result in duplicate resources. That can cause there to be double of one position and leave one position empty. You might need someone with a specific set of skills that the current team does not have. You want to keep top performers and have everyone engaged to produce quality devices.
