Different between Pm and hrm:

Personnel Management and Human Resource Management are more or less the
same thing. In fact Personnel Management is one of the core components of
Human Resource Management.

Personnel Management deals with the selection, recruitment, job description

and work load of an employee. On the other hand, Human Resource
Management looks after the broader concept of HR. It deals with Personnel
Management as well as Organizational Management, Personnel administration,
Manpower management, Industrial Management, Organizational Development
and also Personnel training and development

To understand the difference between HR Management and Personnel

management, you need to look at its focus, its strategies, and the
people who comprise it. "Personnel" refers to the 'old days' where HR
primarily focused on administration, transactions and employee
advocacy. This concept of "personnel management" is much less
applicable in a world where mergers, globalization and new
technologies are fundamentally changing the way business is done.
Companies require true 'out of the box' strategies and tools to achieve
success and change. "HR Management" reflects this new role of
business partner in which the field influences, effects and responds to
change.
