If you start comparing both terms, it will result in many pages. Therefore, I am just giving you a summarized idea. Relate HR Management to the business of the company and Personnel Management to HR of a company; it'll be easier for you to find the differences.

Well, I think Personnel Management exists only in books now. The term HR Management has incorporated Personnel Management into it. Companies look after their employees' training and development programs with the assistance of HR. It is HR that helps to conduct motivational programs along with other departments of the company.

The difference is one of perspective, philosophy, and belief. The entire personnel management concept has historically transformed from "Labour Welfare" to "Personnel Management" and now to "Human Resources Management."
With industrialization, the nature and needs of business, and hence the profile of "manpower," changed—from manual labor to technically skilled professionals and now to knowledge workers and knowledge managers.
Business challenges shifted from "ensuring presence/reducing absenteeism (i.e., LW interventions) to proper maintenance of manpower by timely providing salary, training, and promotion" (Personnel Management) to "right alignment of an individual's needs (ranging from basic to apex level, i.e., self-esteem, professional enrichment, recognition, and meaning of life) with organizational goals" (Human Resource Management).
From considering humans as "commodities" (the one M among the Five) to resources—the supreme resource.
After the Second World War, the progress and development of Japan as a Phoenix made the world realize that it is not the natural resources or capital but humans who are the supreme resource for business and for the country.
A lot can be written on this topic, but considering the shift in perspectives, philosophy, and objectives will provide the right understanding about both regimes.

To put it succinctly, the transformation of industrial economies of the 19th and early 20th centuries into knowledge economies of the late 20th and 21st centuries brought about a marked evolution in the content and role of the personnel function. Personnel management used to serve the business in the traditional role of a servant in the era of industrial economies, but HR management partners with the business in a strategic role in the modern era of knowledge economies.

Dear ALL,
Greetings, in your opinion, what is the difference between HR Management and Personnel Management? Thanks for providing this document which highlights the difference between the two terms. I agree personnel management is more inclined towards the administrative and legal aspects of the employee life cycle, while HRM focuses on deploying strategies to engage employees working on the floor.
