human-resource management

human-resource management (HRM) The management of people to achieve individual behaviour and performance that will enhance an organization's effectiveness. HRM encourages individuals to set personal goals and rewards, guiding them to shape their behaviour in accordance with the objectives of the organization that employs them.

HRM was traditionally called personnel management and involved such responsibilities as interviewing job applicants, providing training, and storing personal data on employees. However, current trends place a greater emphasis on the morale and motivation of employees, which is increasingly seen as the key to competitiveness. Strategies for achieving enhanced job satisfaction may include training employees to do more than one job and encouraging all the members of a workforce to accept responsibility (see empowerment).
