Assignment Details
Employers and employees work together to achieve organizational goals through efficient management. Human resource management (HRM) and personnel management are two basic approaches organizations use to manage their employees. Human resource management focuses on strategies that affect the entire organization, whereas personnel management deals with the workforce and its relationship with the organization.
- Describe the differences between HRM and personnel management. Provide 2 examples that demonstrate each management style.
Review and consider the differences presented by your peers. One approach to replying to your peers is to share your thoughts on 2 of you peer’s responses and address additional reasons on the importance of the topics presented. Another approach is to expand on the discussion by providing your perspective through the introduction of examples and possible outcomes.
In your own words, please post a response to the Discussion Board and comment on other postings. You will be graded on the quality of your postings.
For assistance with your assignment, please use your text, Web resources, and all course materials.
