The human resource lists a number of activities. A few activities are;

-Recruiting and training the employees
-Ensuring they are high performers
-Dealing with performance issues
-Ensuring your personnel and management practices according to various regulations
-Managing approach to employee benefits
-Compensation
-Employee records
-Personnel policies etc

 I have been given a couple of answers to human resources..some say it is personal atributes such as
Self-Awareness, Self-Regulation, Motivation, Empathy,Social Skills. Is this another form of human resources or is this wrong. Thanks

 HUMAN RESOUCE is a very broad term. In simple to means the employees of the oraganisation. But in broader sense it means " ensuring right type of people at right place,doing right job in right time." it is nothing but the study of people right from the entry till the exit of the organisation. The HR functions include:
*recruitment
*selection
*training
* management development
* performance appraisal
*compensation management
*employee relations.
Based on all these the HR activities rely.
