This was caused mainly due to subprime lending, which in simpler terms mean that many of these financial institutions were unable to repay their creditors and depositors due to reduction in the value of their assets they were holding.

This lead to the increase in demand, rise in unemployment, more debts and whole lot of other social and economic concerns for companies and governments. The relation of this crisis with human resource management (HRM) is relevant because it ultimately affects the way people are managed within organizations.

The approach they take, the policies they implement and the practices they employ are what contribute to employment and unemployment figures.

Another issues at hand is that, it ha...
