HR policies serve as guidelines and benchmarks for specific HR activities and that they reflect what an organization is trying to achieve, not how it will achieve its goals. Distinguish HR practices identify broad HRM activities and techniques to ensure the actual implementation of the HRM policies. It is possibly at the practice level of the HR system that most research has been undertaken to date, predominantly in regard to the role of HR practices in high-performance work systems Kepes and Delery (2007)

Human resource management operates through human resource systems that bring together in a coherent way as given below.
● HR philosophies describing the overarching values and guiding principles adopted in managing people.
● HR strategies defining the direction in which HRM intends to go.
● HR policies, which are the guidelines defining how these values, principles and the strategies should be applied and implemented in specific areas of HRM.
● HR processes consisting of the formal procedures and methods used to put HR strategic plans and policies into effect.
● HR practices comprising the informal approaches used in managing people.
● HR programs which enable HR strategies, policies and practices to be implemented according to plan.

Extensive research has shown that such practices can make a significant impact on firm performance. HRM strategies aim to support programs for improving organizational effectiveness by developing policies in such areas as knowledge management, talent management and generally creating a great place to work.
