Dear Jamine85,
Do you know the meaning of Human Resource and why it exists? What is the need of an HR Department?
You just need to find out the answers to these two questions first if you want to know the answer to your query.
What is Human Resource?
Human resource management is responsible for how people are treated in organizations. It is responsible for bringing people into the organization, helping them perform their work, compensating them for their labors, and solving problems that arise. There are seven management functions of a human resources (HR) department that will be specifically addressed: staffing, performance appraisals, compensation and benefits, training and development, employee and labor relations, safety and health, and human resource research. I gave them a name "My 7 Stars of HR."
About your question "Why are people the most important resource for an organization?"
Humans are an organization's greatest assets; without them, everyday business functions such as managing cash flow, making business transactions, communicating through all forms of media, and dealing with customers could not be completed.
I don't think there is any need to know why people are important for an organization but to understand the human value for an organization. Humans and the potential they possess drive an organization. Today's organizations are continuously changing. Organizational change impacts not only the business but also its employees. In order to maximize organizational effectiveness, human potential—individuals' capabilities, time, and talents—must be managed. Human resource management works to ensure that employees are able to meet the organization's goals.

Hi Jasmine,
1. The efficiency of humans varies and can be increased beyond expectations.
2. Humans bring liveliness to the atmosphere.
3. They can gain support from others for their causes (e.g., Anna Hazare), which machines cannot.
4. Problems that affect one person impact everyone.

1. Machines cannot perform on their own.
2. They cannot be pressured to exert extra effort.
3. They cannot be asked to perform another activity in the absence of another employee.
4. Machines cannot be motivated to do more and more.
5. There is no initiative, no innovation.
From the points above, it is quite clear why people are essential resources in an organization. We, as humans, can invent, initiate new ideas, and work under pressure. Therefore, we should be handled with care as we do experience both positive and negative emotions.
This highlights a very basic difference.
