The lead does include a clear sentence that describes what human resource management is and what it is used for. It talks about all the major topics the article has in the lead.

Content

 * Guiding questions

It talks a lot about the history of HR management, which I don't think is that relevant to the topic. All the topics after the history, such as the practice of HR, is all pretty relevant to the topic. The content is all up-to-date and was last edited on September 23, 2020. There isn't any content that is missing but like I've said before, I don't the history of HR should've been such a huge part of the article. This article does not deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps or address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics.
