Human Resources Management (HRM), which encompasses all the tasks involved in acquiring, maintaining, and developing an organization's human resources, is the part of an organization or firm that helps a company to reach its goals and then oversee their training and development, motivation, evaluation, and compensation, all of which are critical to a company's success. Due to the accelerating rate at which today's workforce, economy, corporate cultures, and legal environment are being transformed, the role of HRM is increasingly viewed as a strategic one.

Hi all. I added some info to the HRM theory section. It needs a lot more fleshing out though. If anyone has any basic descriptive info on HRM then itd be well appreciated. Thanks BrightonRock101 15:56, 14 December 2006 (UTC)4hrht

[edit] Greater Critical Theory Needed

Much of the debate of HRM in academia is based on understanding the critiques of the HRM movement, particularly whether it is a true change or a simply change of label? What has changed? A better understanding of people for the benefit of people or for a better method of control? Is it largely Pseudo in nature?
