Human resources can bring value to a firm by contributing their skills, knowledge, and ability to create a competitive advantage. They can be trained, developed, and motivated to increase their productivity and creativity, which can lead to higher innovation and profitability for the company. Therefore, they are considered strategic resources that can help the firm achieve its goals and objectives.
