What is HRM?
Human Resource Management (HRM) is a general term
used to describe a variety of functions aimed at effectively
managing an organization's employees or "human
resources"
HRM professionals oversee the "people" side of an
organization including compensation and benefits, career
development, training, hiring, and many other functions
The goal of HRM is to assist organizations to meet their
strategic goals by attracting and retaining qualified
employees, and managing them effectively while ensuring
that the organization complies with all appropriate labor laws
More on HRM
Human resource managers are responsible for recruiting, training,
utilizing and maintaining qualified work forces, both in industry and
government
This involves such activities as writing job descriptions,
interviewing and testing applicants, administering salary and
benefit programs, staff training, counseling employees concerning
their personal and job problems, dealing with rule violation and
conducting research in employment problems
This specialization prepares the student either for graduate study
in human resources management or in employment in various
business areas
It provides professional training in principles and practices of
procuring, developing, maintaining, and utilizing an effective and
harmonious staff of executives and employees, and to provide a
basic and integrated foundation of broad social and cultural course
work

The market in HRM is competitive
Vast majority of organizations do not recruit on college
campuses for HR openings; companies often seek people
who are mature and experienced professionals, often
promoting from within the organization (SHRM)
NETWORKING is critical in this field
Some large companies recruit recent HR graduates for their
training programs. Promotion into HR from there is possible.
Many women succeed in this field; many advance into top
management positions
