  • HR is simply a term for the people working within an organization. The "resources" part of the term relates to the fact that these people should be an asset to the business, in terms of their skills, attributes, and ability to generate a profit. As a rule, anything relating to your people’s employment falls under the banner of "HR".

    IR is a field within HR that refers to the relationship between the employer and employee, as well as the employer and other employers and organizations that provide support to both parties. IR specialists generally focus on the relationship between the employer and employees, unions, and the regulations relating to labor laws.

    ER relates to the overall management of employees to ensure their productivity, engagement, professional development, and wellbeing. ER specialists are HR team members who put in place systems to prevent and resolve employee issues that arise out of work situations.
