Definitions on Personnel Management and Human Resource Management
In any organization, there has to be someone concerned with the welfare and performance of persons who are a part of the operation. When an individual or a team of individuals takes on this task of seeing to programs and setting policies that impact everyone associated with the company, they are engaged in the process of personnel management, sometimes referred to as human resources management.Author: Malcolm Tatum

♥♥♥ I agree with this definition…It is very good that we have this HRM or Personnel Management which part of the industry for us to have someone that will guide us or assist us on work, if someday we were going to be an employee.
The Human Resources Management (HRM) function includes a variety of activities, and key among them is deciding what staffing needs you have and whether to use independent contractors or hire employees to fill these needs, recruiting and training the best employees, ensuring they are high performers, dealing with performance issues, and ensuring your personnel and management practices conform to various regulations.Author: Carter McNamara, MBA, PhD

♥♥♥ It just states that HRM have the functions that will ensure to have a good employees and will meet the needs of the staff. And for me, to have a good relationship between the employees must be also considered.
Personnel management is concerned with the effective use of the skills of people. They may be salespeople in a store, clerks in an office, operators in a factory, or technicians in a research laboratory. In a business, personnel management starts with the recruiting and hiring of qualified people and continues with directing and encouraging their growth as they encounter problems and tensions that arise in working toward established goals.Author: Ryan Allis

♥♥♥I agree with it because it is really better if we have the employees who are qualified and very suited on the job that they were worked on, for them to meet the goal of the company to be a well-established and an effective company for the employees as well as for the customers.
Human resource management is a balancing act. At one extreme, you hire only qualified people who are well suited to the firm's needs. At the other extreme, you train and develop employees to meet the firm's needs. Most expanding small businesses fall between the two extremes i.e., they hire the best people they can find and afford, and they also recognize the need to train and develop both current and new employees as the firm grows.Author: Ryan Allis

♥♥♥ It is just like to that of HRM, it will hire very qualified people for certain job and develop them to meet the needs of the people.
Human resource management (HRM) is the strategic and coherent approach to the management of an organization's most valued assets - the people working there who individually and collectively contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the business. The terms "human resource management" and "human resources" (HR) have largely replaced the term "personnel management" as a description of the processes involved in managing people in organizations.Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_resource_management
♥♥♥Yes I agree, HRM have largely difference in a description processes to that of Personnel Management. And it specifically matters in their limitations on managing the employees.
At first impression, HRM and Personnel Management are just same or have in common but if you just know each limitation that was the time that you can actually differentiate them. As what I have knew from our adopted company, Personnel Management has only limited on hiring, recruitment and preparation of documents and appointments. But in Human Resource Management, it also includes the training, planning and management, selection and transaction, and benefits and welfare for the employees.
