The policies and procedures used to carry out the people-related or human resource parts of a management role, such as recruiting, screening, training, rewarding, and appraising, are known as human resource management. (2005) Dessler

An integrated set of personnel policies must be established, according to the managerial perspective of human resource management (HRM), in order to support organizational strategy. (2004) Buchanan and Huczynski

Utilizing people's talents to gain a competitive advantage is a key component of HRM, a strategic approach to managing employment relations. This is accomplished through a unique set of integrated employment policies, programmes, and practices. (2007) Bratton and Gold

The management of human resources ensures that the company is a pleasant place to work. Every HRM department's mandate includes educating employees and management on employment law and appropriate workplace behavior. They settle conflicts before they start, get rid of employees who might not contribute to the company's culture, and arbitrate when issues do emerge between employees and management.

It was somewhere in the 1970s when human labour power was acknowledged as a resource. Armstrong noted that "the essential resource is people" in an organization in one of the earliest references (Armstrong, 1977).

Creating and managing programmes that are intended to boost an organization's or business's effectiveness is a part of human resource management. It covers all aspects of developing, maintaining, and growing the connection between employers and employees.

Global context of HRM

International human resource management, defined by Armstrong (2009) in his Handbook of Human Resource Management Practice, is the method by which multinational corporations manage employees across national borders. Not only does it require managing expatriates, but also managing people globally.

Worldwide HR has traditionally focused on managing an international workforce, including higher-level employees that commute frequently, work as expats, are part of cross-cultural teams, and are experts in global knowledge transfer. Global HRM is about more than just these employees. It focuses on using universal rule sets to manage all HRM activities, wherever they may be. Brewster and others, 2005

Functions of HRM

1. Recruitment Process

Recruiting, employing, and keeping a talented workforce is among the most fundamental tasks in human resources. This activity entails a number of steps, such as creating a job description, conducting interviews, making offers, and negotiating pay and benefits.

2. On-the-Job Training

Even when a firm recruits qualified workers, the human resources department is typically in charge of delivering some level of on-the-job training. This is so that jobs can be carried out slightly differently by each company.

3.Professional Development

Training and HR's role in professional growth are closely intertwined. However, professional development is about giving employees opportunities for personal growth and education, whereas training needs are focused on the organization's processes and procedures.

4.Benefits and Compensation

The management of benefits and compensation is a given for human resources, but in the twenty-first century, as businesses have become more globally oriented, HR now needs to adapt to new ways of offering benefits to an organization's employees.

5.Ensuring Legal Compliance

The last aspect of human resource management is possibly the least glamorous, but it is unquestionably the most crucial. A crucial component of assuring the organization's continuous existence is ensuring legal compliance with tax and labour regulations.
