The data analysis is applied through descriptive methods. The findings show that training program is considered as the best human resource management practice if compared to others, but, it is still less optimal to support knowledge management process. Then, support for sharing of knowledge, skill, and experience among colleagues is still limited.That is need to establish Communities of Practice (CoP) which is an informal group of employees. It is expected to be more effective for knowledge sharing
