HR as a Lucrative Profession
HR or Human Resources is a well-known profession that seems very lucrative to professionals who wish to have a strong career path in an organization. To be an HR professional, there are various degrees available to specialize in, such as a Master in Social Works, Master in Human Resource Management, etc.
Functionalities within the HR Domain
Within the HR domain itself, there are various functionalities like recruitment, induction, generalist roles, compensation benefits, payroll, exit processes, etc. Each domain has its own required knowledge set to be acquired. For example, to be in recruitment, an HR professional should be Professional in Human Resources (PHR) certified and have good knowledge in sourcing profiles from various platforms, interviewing, etc. Likewise, for payroll, a professional should know legal and statutory compliances related to payroll and adjustments.
HR Activities and Organizational Structure
The various HR activities have a set of cadre or grade in the organization, which depends largely on the size of the organization. A small company with just 10-50 employees may have only one HR to take care of all the activities. In contrast, an organization with 200+ or more employees may have an HR team centrally as well as on a regional basis. The basic designation that it can start with is an executive to senior executive, assistant, manager, officer, head, etc.
Why HR Generalist?
At each level, the activities are carried out on a day-to-day basis. For example, recruitment and onboarding are common tasks that happen across the organization. Similarly, activities like employee grievances or their day-to-day queries are addressed at the local as well as central level. So, when companies are faced with such nature of activities, the importance of a common man, in HR terms a generalist who is capable of handling various tasks on a day-to-day basis, holds a lot of value. The set of work carried out by such professionals involves multitasking like recruitment, onboarding, employee queries, grievances, performance management, and statutory compliances. The level and nature of activities may vary from organization to organization as per organizational policy.
