what is the definition of human resources management?

Answer 1

The human resources department is responsible for organizing everything to do with an employee, whether it be the salary, training, motivation, etc. HRM basically helps integrate the people into an overall strategic practice.

Wikipedia defines it like this:

Human Resource Management (HRM) is both an academic theory and a business practice. It is based on the notion that employees are firstly human, and secondly should NOT be treated as a basic business resource. HRM is also seen as an understanding of the human aspect of a company and its strategic importance. HRM is seen as moving on from a simple "personnel" approach (or was supposed to) because it is preventative of potential problems, and secondly it should be a major aspect of the company philosophy, in which all managers and employees are champions of HRM-based policies and philosophy.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

If you held the title of Human Resources Manager, you would be in charge of hiring new employees, or at least testing them and getting them to their next interview with someone higher up in a particular field of interest. You would also handle all legal work documents by all employees at the business.
