There has been a lot of argument that there is no difference between HRM and personnel management. But with the help of an expert, some of the difference has been spotted. HRM stands for human resources management. It is much broader than personal management; it incorporates and develops personnel management skills. It is the human resources that develop a team of an employee for an organization. The main focus of human resources is to develop a dynamic culture. Human resource is stated to be proactive. Human resources motivate the employee by motivating human resources, effective strategies for facing challenges, and workgroups. Personal management deals with employees their payroll and employment laws. It is regarded to be more administrative. Personal management tends to motivate employees with compensation rewards and bonuses. Lastly, personal management is considered to be reactive.
