Human Resources is just another name for the old Personnel Dept. It has grander connotations of strategic input to business plans, quite rightly though, rather than the old records and welfare impression people had of this non=profit contributing department.

Personnel at one time only dealt with the hiring and the firing where as Human Resources (HR) deals with all aspects of the job. The hiring, firing, benefits, payroll, on the job training, offsite training, Legal issues (sexual harrassment on the job). Very small business may have a personnel office or personnel administrtor but most business (especially large corporations) have Human Resources Departments

Mood music. HR like early Genesis while Personnel listen to Toto.

Nothing. The term Human Resource Management started out as a Japanese idea - the philosophy behind it being that people are just as much a resource as any other in an organisation, and need proper management.

Nothing. Personnel is the old way. Human Resources is the new in vogue way so to speak. Why they keep changing things i dont know but anyway thats the tall and short of it.

None whatsoever. Probably you'll find the Americans invented one when the English were using the other.
