Which term describes the systematic process of managing the organization's people to achieve its goals, including recruitment and development?

• A. External Recruitment
• B. Human Resource Management
• C. Contract of Employment
• D. Demography

Answer: (B)

Systematic management of an organization's people to achieve its goals involves planning the workforce, attracting and selecting talent, developing skills, and aligning people with strategic aims. This broad, strategic approach is called Human Resource Management. It covers recruitment and development, along with training, performance management, compensation, and employee relations, ensuring the right people with the right capabilities are in place at the right time. External recruitment is simply a method used within this framework to fill vacancies by bringing in candidates from outside the organization, not the overall process itself. A contract of employment is a legal document outlining terms of work, not the ongoing management of people. Demography studies population characteristics, not how organizations manage their employees. So the best term is Human Resource Management.
