Hello Ayra,

There are Some Basic Differences between HRM and HRD:

They are:

1. Human Resource Management is mainly a service function responding to the demands of the organization. But HRD is proactive function.

2. In HRM, salary, wages, incentives and job simplification are considered to be the main motivation. But, HRD deals on job enrichment, job challenge, informal organization, autonomous work groups and creativity for motivating people.

3. Human Resource Management as a set of independents sub-function. And HRD is a sub­system of a larger system of the organization.

4. Human Resource Management is narrow in scope and aims at developing and administering to the people only. But in the HRD, its scope is wider and it aims at developing the total organization. The basic focus of Human Resource Management is on increasing the efficiency of people. But the focus of HRD is on building the right organizational culture.

5. Human Resource Management is main res­ponsibility of the human resource department. But HRD is regarded as the responsibility of all managers in the organization.

Good Luck !!

Hi,

HR (Human Resource) defines a set of people who manage the resources related to people in an organization.

HRM (Human Resource Management) on the other hand, is the entire process of selecting, recruiting, onboarding and training employees, structuring different company policies including compensation, number and type of leaves, other benefits, etc.

In short, HR is basically managing and utilizing workforce while HRM is the process of making effective use of HR so as to ensure achievement of set goals.

Hope you found this helpful.
