 PM can be described as a series of activities related to various aspects of an
employee’s relationship with the organization. HRM is also concerned with
these issues, but in addition stresses the primacy of business needs. Other points
of departure are that HRM embraces individual flexibility and congruency
between individual and organizational goals, whereas PM is concerned with
systems applied to individuals and collectivism.
