Introduction to Human Resource Management

Human Resource Management was initially known as personnel or people management. In the past, its role was quite limited. HRM is a formal way of managing people within any company or organisation. It is a fundamental part of any organization and its management.

The primary responsibilities of the personnel department include hiring, evaluating, training, and compensating employees. The human resources department deals with any issues facing the staff in their working capacity within an organization. HR is concerned with specific work practices and how they affect the organization’s performance.
