Personnel refers to the employees or workforce of an organization or company. It includes all individuals who are hired by the organization for various roles and responsibilities. Personnel management is the process of managing and organizing the employees in an organization to maximize their productivity and achieve the company's objectives. This includes tasks such as recruiting, training, compensating, and managing employee relations. In recent years, the term “personnel” has been replaced by “human resources” or “HR” to reflect a more modern approach to managing employees.
