Hi, Mr. Qaisar,
Did you take an HR course? If yes, no reply is required. If no, go and buy a book from the market; you will come to know what HR is.
Do you know what Horse Race (HR) is?
Expecting your reply, please.

Hi Qaisar,
HR is basically the short form of Human Resources. Human Resources is a broad term, and as an HR Executive, one would be responsible for hiring employees, promotions, their emoluments, terms of service, etc.
I hope this information is sufficient.

HR is vast. One cannot simply suggest in a few words and paragraphs. It is the backbone of any company. The foundation depends on the HR division, and it has to be very strong. As we have importance in handling various divisions of a company, because if something goes wrong, it will affect the respective division. However, if something goes wrong with HR, it will affect the whole company, as it is related to the handling of Human Resources of the organization, which is present throughout the entire structure. We can try to address all the issues related to Human resources but cannot cover the whole concept, as there are many concepts, and each has deep implications within the organization.
The main job can be defined as follows:
1. Understanding the vision of the organization and aligning the HR vision, mission, and values with the Co's.
2. Using different eHR tools and focusing on the HR goals to align with organizational success.
3. Sourcing
4. Performance evaluation with the help of modern and scientific HR tools, along with regular training and OD intervention.
5. Designing and implementing compensation structures as part of the respective Co's compensation philosophy.
I hope this helps you a bit.

To sum it all up, the main function of HR is to manage the Human 'Resources' of the company, i.e., employees and facilitate them by extracting maximum output from them to achieve the company's objectives. This is done by identifying their strengths and weaknesses in the performance appraisals, and training them based on the results. Motivating them by increasing their benefits, salaries, etc. Helping the company in recruitment and selection of employees and much more... So, you see... HR is indeed the backbone of the company as said earlier.

HR has to play following four roles:
1. a strategic partner, where you help to turns strategy into results by building organizations
2. the second is the “change agent role”, where you help make change happen.
3. the third is the “employee champion role”, where you manage the the intellectual capital; and,
4. the fourth would be an “administrative role” where you try to get things to happen better, faster, cheaper.

Hi Qaisar,
I guess by now you must have got some idea about your query. Human Resource, acronymed as HR, earlier was not that important a part of organizations. It was only after the industrial revolution that people understood the importance of human resources and started treating them as an asset to the organization. Earlier organizations had a labor officer who used to take care of recruitment and administrative jobs in a company, but now the concept has changed from a labor officer to a wealth officer, Human Resource Management (HRM) to Human Resource Development (HRD), and very recently to Human Resource Management System (HRMS) and Strategic HR.
The work of an HR is now not just restricted to administrative jobs. An HR in an organization deals with:
A. Manpower planning, Recruitment, and Placement
B. Performance Evaluation
C. Training and Development
D. Compensation and benefits
E. Personnel records, attendance, and punctuality
F. Working Environment and Welfare measurements
G. Change Management
H. Individual recognition and development
I. Periodical Reports
Apart from this, they work on maintaining human resources by periodic reviews on improving work culture and thus bringing out an overall organizational development. Concepts like HR Balance Scorecard are helping to directly align with HR to the company's goals and act as a strategic partner in achieving the company's vision.
I hope you might have got the concept by now.

Phew... So many replies!!! 😉
I want to add one thing to what all the other members have said. HR is Human Resources of the organization. As the times are changing, the term has also changed, and now it is called Human Capital. HR is no longer a support system as it was traditionally known to be. The HR Department has the responsibility to check how to contribute to the net profit of the company. A crucial function to perform indeed.
