HRM basically attempts to creat a generalist role includng all functions from Recruitmant to termination (Which incl. T & D As well)

But HRD rather means that 1. Performance Mgt. 2. T & D 3. Career Development

But in some cases these two terms are overlapping.

Hi,

HRD is a proactive concept, which underlines the very belief that human talent is the most imp resource of any organization and therefore there has to be a commitment for the development of the same on a continuous basis

Whereas HRM is more a reactionary concept, it stops only at management of the talent pool.

HRM deals with the day to day operations of the human resources department. This curriculum would include bus. law, compensation, employee relations, benefits, and medical etc.

HRD : Human Resource Development deals with the training and the developmental aspect of employees. Most HRD curriculum include classes like T & D, organizational dev., industrial psy.

HRM is a Reactive function while HRD is a Pro Active one.
HRM IS THE responsibility of HR manager only,while HRD is the responsibility of all the managers,it is pervasive activity.
HRM deals with Recruitment,selection ,placement,training,development,compensation,conflict resolution,industrial dispute,HRD on the other hand is a part of it which deals with Training Development,performance appraisal,career development etc.
