Human Resource Management (HRM) is the discipline that focuses on the people side of most organizations. HRM responsibilities include but are not limited to talent acquisition, learning and development, compensation and benefits, labor law, employment law, employee relations and change management.
Human Resources (HR) also is responsible for ensuring the organization is in compliance with applicable employment laws, labor laws and agreements.
Most notably, HR is responsible for ensuring that the organization assigns people in the precise numbers, with the required knowledge, skills and abilities needed. These assignments need to be closely correlated to execute the organization’s business strategy.
People are at the heart of every organization. Leaders confirm this, and share that HR is probably the most difficult area in the organization to get right. When HR gets it correct, the organization gains the opportunity to grow and prosper along with its employees, customers and communities.
