Timeless Technology Ltd exists to develop innovative mobile applications which solve the problems of its clients. The company purposes to provide an environment which is stable to its employees to allow personal growth and development which leads to the development of innovative products that help the company be competitive in the market. Since the company deals with software development, innovation is crucial to its survival. In this era of technological advancement, companies need to come up with innovative products or else they won’t attract clients (PWC 2016). The software development industry is competitive and requires a company to invest in its employees. Companies mostly depend on the creativity of the employees and their devotion to the business (Vosloban 2013). Timeless Technology Ltd purpose allows its employees to grow and develop. The company invests in intense training to help them gain the new trends in the market. The firm aims to become a leader in the mobile app industry which necessitates the employees to have the capacity to move the company to attain that level.
The purpose of the business challenges the management and the employees to work towards being the leading company in the industry. This motivates them to work hard to attain the goal. They spend most of their time developing revolutionary applications to attract more customers. The employees strive to have a good reputation to get more referrals from the customers they have dealt with previously. The desire to lead in the industry pushes the management to invest in the employees since they are at the core of the company. The management strives to provide them with what they need to accomplish the set goals. An enabling environment plays a critical role in the performance of the staff (Bhalla, et.al.2011).

2 What has been your experience for the last seven years as the HR manager?
Over the past seven years I have experienced a lot and I believe the experience that I get in this profession is good for my everyday life. It has not been easy since at the beginning the company registered some losses which made it very difficult to balance the payroll and still satisfy the stakeholders. I however managed to balance the equations in a way that most employees were happy. The first thing was to reduce the workforce until the organization started making real profits. After this the workforce returned to normal size with an increment of a few individuals.
3 Are the activities of your department such as employment related to the objectives of the company?
