Abstract (Original Language): 
Human Resource Development continues to grow its importance within organisations due to change in organisations' approach of achieving competitive advantage and their focus to nurture and develop their strategic resources (employees). There is huge shift in organisations' orientation and organisations realized that a firm can survive in stiff competition through their valuable human resources. In this uncertain and globalized era there is huge demand for talented people. On the other hand employees' expectations and demands are changing and the organisations have to respond to meet their expectations and provide good developmental environment in order to have sustainable development through committed workforce. This paper gives an overall idea of nurturing employees as strategic resources.
