Human Resources 101: Practitioner Skills Workshop

Human resource management (HRM) encompasses those activities designed to provide for and coordinate the human resources of an organization. The human resources (HR) of an organization represents one of its largest investments. In fact government reports show that approximately 70 percent of national income is used to compensate employees. The value of an organization’s human resources frequently becomes evident when the organization is sold. Often, the purchase price is greater than the total value of the physical and financial assets. This difference sometimes called goodwill, partially reflects the value of an organization’s human resources. In addition to wages and salaries, organizations often make other sizable investments in their human resources. Recruiting, hiring, and training represent some of the more obvious examples.

Human resource management is today, the term for what has traditionally been referred to as personnel administration or personnel management. However, as the introductory quote indicates, some authors view human resource management as being somewhat different from traditional personnel management. They see personnel management as much narrower and more clerically oriented than human resource management.
