[1] Human resource management (HRM) is the governance of an organization’s employees. HRM is sometimes referred to simply as human resources (HR).
A company’s human resources department is responsible for creating, implementing and/or overseeing policies governing employee behaviour and the behaviour of the company toward its employees.
Human resources are the people who work for the organization; human resource management is really employee management with an emphasis on those employees as assets of the business. In this context, employees are sometimes referred to as human capital. As with other business assets, the goal is to make effective use of employees, reducing risk and maximizing return on investment (ROI).
Areas of HRM oversight include – among many others -- employee recruitment and retention, exit interviews, motivation, assignment selection, labor law compliance, performance reviews, training, professional development, mediation, and change management.

HR is a commonly used acronym for Human Resources, also referred to as Human Resource Management or HRM. HR is fundamentally an expression of an organizations belief in the employee element of that organisations success. (Quick note, if like me you’re a fan of metaphors please feel free to check out my What is Human Resources post where I talk about lifecycles within organizations as a way to explain HR). HR pure and simple is the implementation of a strategy to drive innovation, productivity and share price through mobilizing the workforce towards excellence.

مُسْلِمٌ آجَرَ نَفْسَهُ من مَجُوسِيٍّ لِيُوقِدَ له النَّارَ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ كَذَا في الْخُلَاصَةِ

وَلَوْ اسْتَأْجَرَ الذِّمِّيُّ مُسْلِمًا لِيَبْنِيَ له بِيعَةً أو كَنِيسَةً جَازَ وَيَطِيبُ له الْأَجْرُ كَذَا في الْمُحِيطِ
