Introduction

Human Resource Management (HRM) is the function within an organization that focuses on
recruitment of, management of, and providing direction for the people who work in the
organization. Human Resource Management can also be performed by line managers. Human
Resource Management is the organizational function that deals with issues related to people such
as compensation, hiring, performance management, organization development, safety, wellness,
benefits, employee motivation, communication, administration, and training.
Human Resource Management is also a strategic and comprehensive approach to managing people
and the workplace culture and environment. Effective HRM enables employees to contribute
effectively and productively to the overall company direction and the accomplishment of the
organization’s goals and objectives. Human Resource Management is moving away from traditional
personnel, administration, and transactional roles, which are increasingly outsourced. HRM is
now expected to add value to the strategic utilization of employees and that employee programs
impact the business in measurable ways. The new role of HRM involves strategic direction and
HRM metrics and measurements to demonstrate value.
