Human Resource Management covers manpower planning, recruitment, job analysis, performance management, training and development, compensation, and compliance across all areas of an organization.  The evolution of human resource management and HR policies have changed significantly over the years, with critical organizational development responsibilities falling under the human resource umbrella.

Every employee within a company is involved with HR, each presenting a new set of challenges that HR professionals must identify, address, and resolve, making human resources the center and hub of most companies.
