HRM (Human Resource Management)
The software discipline that manages an organisation’s people: hiring, onboarding, records, leave, attendance, payroll and exit.
Full definition
HRM (Human Resource Management) is the practice — and the category of software — that supports the full employee lifecycle inside an organisation: recruitment, onboarding, employee records, role and department assignments, attendance, leave, performance reviews, payroll, and offboarding. Modern HRM platforms (such as Zaffre HRM) extend beyond classic HR records into adjacent operations modules: procurement, petty cash, projects, helpdesk and secure client communication, so a single system covers what used to require six.
