C/HR/171. Analysis of Aspects of HRM versus Personnel Management

This paper discuses thee difference between HR and its predecessor personnel, although they are two distinct functions within an organisation. Personnel is traditionally the recording of information and reactive to change, whereas HR is proactive and targets the needs of the business. The paper then discusses Recruitment and Selection, Disciplinary Procedure and Redundancy. The section on disciplinary procedures is based on scenarios and how the manager should react to these situations to stay within the law. It is always easier to jump to conclusion, therefore this takes time to gather the facts and reflect on the situation. All of the HR procedures are required to be seen as fair, this includes redundancy and recruitment and selection.
