Every organisation operates within a Macro environment which in a large extent affects its policy and decision making and to a large extent the satisfaction of employees on their job. An organisation has to constantly move to the rhythm of change and react to its dynamic environment. Otherwise it becomes a "rusted suit of amour" forgotten among the junk. The need for this study arose due to the present predicament faced by the Nigerian workers - strikes, unpaid salaries, retrenchment are all abound in our economic system. This study focuses on rationalisation using the company Cotton and Agricultural Processors, Zaria as a case study. Irrespective of the fact that Nigeria faces an economic crisis, the Human Element should be given more consideration and appreciated for their hard work. The aim of the research is to explore ways to effectively and efficiently manage the human resources of organisation in an unstable environment. After a detailed research on the organisation, the conclusion drawn is that the management has been able to manage its human resources effectively in the unstable environment in which it finds itself. It also manages to bring the organisation from the brink of collapse to an enviable position in the Industrial Sector within which it finds itself. It realised that the human resources are the key to its survival and growth.
