What is the Difference Between Human Resource Management and Human Capital Management?

Human Resource Management focuses on managing employee-related processes, such as recruitment, payroll, and compliance. On the other hand, Human Capital Management emphasizes maximizing employee potential by developing their skills and talents to achieve organizational goals.

Is Human Capital Management a Part of HR?

Human Capital Management is essential to HR as it goes beyond the typical HR functions. Instead, HCM seeks to optimize employee performance and potential by providing them with different skill-building initiatives and tracking their progress.

How is HCM Different from HRIS and HRMS?

HCM is a broad term encompassing several areas of HR management, such as talent acquisition, performance management, compensation, learning and development, and employee engagement.

How Can You Distinguish Between Human & Capital Resources?

Human resources refers to the workforce within an organization, including their skills, knowledge, and abilities. On the other hand, capital resources are tangible or intangible assets that contribute to a company's productivity and growth, such as machinery, technology systems, or intellectual property.
