Human Resource Management (HRM) is the function within an organization that focuses on acquiring, developing, managing, and retaining people so that both individual and organizational goals are achieved. It involves key activities like recruitment and selection, training and development, performance management, compensation and benefits, employee relations, and compliance with labour laws. Modern HRM also emphasizes strategic alignment with organizational goals, employee well-being, and creating a positive workplace culture.
HRMPEB’s perspective:
The Human Resource Management Professionals Examinations Board (HRMPEB) in Kenya is the professional body mandated to develop curricula, administer professional examinations, and certify qualified HR professionals to ensure HR practitioners are competent and ethical in their practice. This reflects how HRM is increasingly seen as a professional discipline that requires structured learning and certification to meet modern organizational needs. (hrmpeb.or.ke)
HRM ensures that organizations effectively manage their people as strategic assets, while HRMPEB supports the professionalization and standardization of HR practice through certification and curriculum development in Kenya. (hrmpeb.or.ke)
