Origin of Human Resource Management software

Human Resource Management, a term which has been of much use of late is a very recent development if you look at the historical development of this branch of study.      

It was after 1800 A.D. that the notion of personnel development came into being. It was originally initiated to take care of the women and their children who were working in factories.

You might be thinking about the situation at that point in time. There were welfare officers whose job was to see that the rights of workers, especially women were respected and taken care of.     

Well, as organizations started to grow in size, personnel managers became active and up to the 1950s personnel management covered the following services:      

• Salary administration.
• Training.
• Advisory role in industrial relations.
