You can pursue Human Resources Management even if you're not into maths. HRM focuses on people management and organizational strategy rather than complex calculations. Basic quantitative skills are somewhat helpful. They are not the primary focus. Many HR roles involve soft skills like communication and problem-solving. 

I have tried to explain in detail below:

HRM Focus:

HRM is primarily concerned with managing employees, fostering a positive work environment, and aligning human resources with the overall business strategy. 

Role of Mathematics:

While some HR roles, like payroll or HR analytics, might involve data analysis and calculations, these are often supported by software and tools, and the focus remains on understanding and interpreting the data rather than complex mathematical calculations.
