Hi,

I want to clarify the difference between HRD and HRM.

HRD and HRM are both related terms and are also termed as Personnel Management.

HRM, or Human Resource Management, involves the management of human resources in an organization, taking care of the basic requirements of the employees such as recruiting, staffing, maintaining employee relations, and addressing other employee-related issues.

On the other hand, HRD stands for Human Resource Development, which focuses on developing the resources of the company, particularly the human resources. HRD encompasses areas such as training and development, career development, and organization development.

These aspects are closely linked to Human Resource Management, a field that involves HR research and information systems, union/labor relations, employee assistance, compensation/benefits, selection and staffing, performance management systems, HR planning, and organization/job design.

It is important to note that HRD is most effective when complemented by a proper HRM framework within the company.

I hope this explanation proves helpful to you.

Best Regards,
Fay
