Human Resource Management (HRM) involves processes like planning, organizing, staffing, leading, and controlling to manage an organization's workforce effectively. HRM is crucial for avoiding hiring mistakes, ensuring compliance with regulatory laws, and enhancing departmental effectiveness. It distinguishes between line managers, who have direct authority and responsibility, and staff managers, who support and advise on policies and operational guidance.
