Best answer:
Answer by trailhiker08
Human resource management is focused on the effective and efficient use of human talent to accomplish the strategic objectives of the organization. In the past, human resource management often involved administrative tasks such as handling employee benefits questions, recruiting, interviewing, and hiring new staff, and ensuring that organizational policies and procedures were established and followed in compliance with relevant employment law. Today’s human resource professionals manage those tasks and, increasingly, consult with top executives regarding strategic planning. They have moved from behind-the-scenes staff to leading the company in suggesting and implementing organizational change policies. Increasingly, top management is recognizing that a competitive advantage can be gained through strategically managing their human resources.
