The difference between personnel management and human resources management

What is the difference between personnel management and human resources management?


Human resources management and personnel affairs management is a flexible management. It is formed according to the needs of the organization. Some organizations have very few employees and it is very difficult for human resources management to only have personnel affairs management.

Now I want to tell you what the personnel affairs department includes and what are the departments that make up the personnel affairs department

Personnel Affairs Departments

  1. Employees Affairs Department.
  2. Payroll Department.
  3. Employment Department.
  4. government relations.
  • Personnel Affairs Department: It is the department that takes care of the employee’s relationship with the company and vice versa, meaning it contains contracts and contract renewals, vacations, your personal file, warnings, all of which are taken care of by the Personnel Affairs Department.
  • Payroll Department: It is the department responsible for the prohibited statistics, departures, deductions, and increases, all of this is in the payroll department.
  • Recruitment Department: It is almost the most important department because it is where the employee’s relationship with the company begins. The recruitment department is considered very important because it receives CVs, sorts them, nominates candidates, conducts personal interviews, and employs them.
  • Government Relations Department: This includes the brokers, passports, municipality labor office, etc. All of this is related to the Government Relations Department.

Human Resources Departments

What are the departments that fall under human resources management?

  1. Employees Affairs Department.
  2. Payroll Department.
  3. Employment Department.
  4. Government Relations Department.
  5. training and development Department.
  6. Benefits and Benefits Section.
  7. Talent Acquisition Department.

You have noticed that the personnel affairs department is under the human resources management department, which means it is part of human resources, but it does not mean the complete management. The use of human resources management depends on the size of the company, its activity, the number of employees, the number of its branches, etc., and the size of the company is large. There is also a note that some companies use human resources management.

Training and Development Management

It is a very important management from the moment the employee is organized and as long as he is present, development falls under measuring the performance of the employees.

As we explained previously, personnel affairs management and human resources management are flexible departments that are formed according to the organization.

Also, job titles in human resources management or personnel affairs management differ according to their composition and the organization in question. 

I will provide you with some of the famous names in the world of human resources management, but of course in some organizations these names differ, and these are the most common and famous names on a large level in the science of human resources.

  31. Talent Acquisition Manager.
  32. Recruitment Manager.

If we notice, in the last slide there was something called Human Resources (Business Partner), Talent Acquisition Manager, and General Human Resources Manager. What does all this mean?

Because the modern school of human resources believes that human resources are a partner in the organization and a partner in success, that is why its name was changed to HRBP = HR Business Partner.

Modern HR scientists also believe that recruitment is the attraction of talents and they tried to name recruitment from Recruitment = Talent.

Just to remind you, not every organization uses all these names because they design the management according to their needs.
