The difference between "personnel" and "human resources" might be lost on most people. But HR professionals know the difference, especially those who have gone through the transition. Decades ago, personnel managers handled staff-related administrative functions and relations between employees and management. Today's HR managers have broader, more strategic responsibilities. They recruit and develop staff as an invaluable resource for employers.
