CHAPTER ONE

Introduction

1.1 Background Of The Problem

There are many inputs which an organization need in the production of good or products these input include raw material personnel or the human labors seem to be the most important. This is because, the human labour or personnel is not so easy to get just as you can purchase other factor of production. Successful selection of these personnel for an organization requires the organization to match the ability of the job candidate with the need of Emenite Asbestos.
