Hi Sanjeev,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for posting such an informative article on the roles and responsibilities of an HR Generalist. Also, a big "thank you" to all those who keep on posting wonderful articles on HR.

Hi! This is Fasi Khan, and I am working as a generalist with a consulting company managing 28 employees. HR generalists are responsible for managing employees. Below are some of the responsibilities you would typically handle:

1) Taking care of joining formalities
2) Coordinating with new joiners and internal employees
3) Issuing appointment letters
4) Managing employment specifications
5) Processing employee PF, ESI, Mediclaim, and other employment registration forms
6) Monitoring the activities of employees
7) Checking their login and logout times
8) Conducting performance appraisals
9) Motivating employees to reach targets and maximize profits for the organization and each individual

I hope this answers your question.

Being a consultant, you will be working as a recruiter initially. You need to screen the candidates from a job portal and call the candidates, looking at the client's requirements, and then sending the candidates to the client. Hope this answers your question.

Sanjeev,

I did not see any new economy roles for the HR folks. For example, HR today is also seen as a business partner. The management and managers look towards HR for providing help in making decisions.

In the old economy, HR folks were administrators of employee data, implementing policies, etc. I would like to hear from you and other gurus on this forum to share how, as HR practitioners, we are adding more than just being the conventional admin and policy enforcers.

Thanks
