Human Resource Management (HRM) has taken recently a big importance, it is an approach to managing human resource that supports long-term business goals, it tries to enhance the management of Human Resource (HR) to a strategic level through human capital. HRM is a dynamic discipline highly linked with people behaviour, which interact freely without anyone's guidance. In order to analyze this system Multi-Agent Modeling is a kind of environment that simulates this free interaction between Human Resource and let the system evolve automatically. This analysis named bottom-up starts from the focus on the characteristics of each agent. The purpose of this paper is to shed light on the main concepts used in the strategic human resource management, which will give a focus on HRM regarding its strategic role and contribution to the performance of the organization. The paper presents also a proposed framework of agent-based modeling of civilian employees which will allow us to predict the evolution and the effect of policies on the HR system.
