personnel management
Workforce administration duties
Personnel management is the administrative function of hiring, training, compensating, and overseeing employees within an organization.
The term dominated business vocabulary through much of the 20th century but has largely been replaced by "human resources" or "HR," which implies a broader strategic role.
Personnel management tends to suggest the older, more clerical approach: She spent thirty years in personnel management before retiring.
