What to Focus On

  • Human Resources Management is also called personnel management.
  • It deals with acquisition, development, compensation, integration, and maintenance of people.
  • It aims at business, employee, and societal success.
  • People are the most important asset of business.
  • Other resources depend on human effort and skill.
  • Success depends on the calibre and dedication of employees.
  • The HR Department is the organisational unit that handles people-related work.
  • It supports acquisition, development, compensation, and maintenance of employees.
  • It performs many functions to keep the workplace effective and orderly.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Human Resources Management and the Human Resources Department are the same thing.

Human resources only means the employees in an organisation, not the importance of those employees.

The success of a business depends mainly on machines, money, or materials rather than people.
