Designations - Job Titles - Whats In A Name ?

What's in a Title?

We come across many different designations allocated to personnel in our departments:

HR Assistant
HR Coordinator
HR & Admin Coordinator
Executive HR
HR Executive
Senior HR Executive
Senior HR & Admin

Manager HR
HR Manager
Manager Admin & HR
Manager HR & Training

Why are there so many titles? What exactly are the roles and responsibilities hierarchy-wise in an HR Department? Can anyone draw a simple and idealistic structure for positions in an HR Department?

Thanks,
Sajid

What I understand is that the titles should be more relevant to the roles being played. The role an individual is handling under an HR department should be highlighted from the title itself rather than giving a generalized title for all administrative work.

Hi Sajid,

According to me, a title represents the position, authority, and the role that an individual is playing in the company.
