Human Resources Empowerment for Batik Artisans at the Giriloyo Batik Association, Wukirsari Village, Bantul Through HR Management Training

Abstract

The Giriloyo Batik Association, which is located in Wukirsari village, Bantul, has encountered obstacles in facing major challenges in terms of human resource management (HR) which is still informal, including in managing human resource management (HR). The lack of productive age in the MSMEs of the Giriloyo Batik Association causes limitations in innovation in terms of flexible work management, so it is necessary to hold HR management training so that these batik MSMEs can be passed on by the younger generation. The purpose of this HR management training is to improve craftsmen in organizing organizational structures more efficiently, as well as encouraging the involvement of the younger generation in the preservation of batik culture. This service uses field observation methods and direct interviews. This approach was chosen because it is to understand in depth the phenomenon of HR management training and batik product development at the Giriloyo Batik Association without manipulating variables. It is hoped that this service activity can be a good example in empowering sustainable culture-based MSMEs, while preserving the heritage of Indonesian batik for the next generation.
