Human Resource Management (HRM)

Human resource management (HRM) is the strategic and operational discipline of managing an organization's people: recruiting, developing, compensating, and engaging employees to achieve business objectives. HRM encompasses the full employee lifecycle and is often used interchangeably with the term "HR." Some frameworks (particularly academic ones) distinguish HRM as the strategic discipline from HR as the administrative function, though in practice the terms overlap heavily. HRM sits at the intersection of strategy, operations, compliance, and employee experience.
