Curious About HR's Impact in IT? Discover Their Key Roles and Responsibilities

Sir, I just want to know the main role of HR in the IT industry.

---

In the IT industry, the main role of HR is crucial in ensuring the recruitment, development, and retention of a skilled workforce. HR professionals in IT companies are responsible for attracting top talent, managing employee relations, implementing training programs to enhance technical skills, and creating strategies to foster a positive work culture. Additionally, HR plays a significant role in aligning the organization's business objectives with its human capital needs, thereby contributing to the overall success and growth of the company.

Hi Shailaja,

The main work of HR in the IT industry would be as follows:
- Recruitment (if not tied up with consultants)
- Coordination in interviews
- Joinings and induction
- Coordination in training programs
- Employee engagement and welfare (main work in the IT industry)
- Exits

Hi Srikanth,

When you say Employee Engagement and Welfare activities, can you give more insight on that? What sort of employee engagement activities can be done in an IT company?

Hey,

Apart from the above, performance appraisal is also an important task. You can assign Key Result Areas (KRAs) for an employee. It would be great if you could also do succession planning for every employee. I will keep you posted as I learn more about the other details.

Hi,

When you say the main role in the IT industry, it depends on your responsibilities in the organization. If you are in a middle or small-sized company, your responsibilities start from recruitment to exit. An MNC is totally different, and your responsibilities depend on which department you are working in.

Hi,

Normally, your responsibilities will be R2R (recruitment to retirement or resignation) and depending on the size of your organization, your role will vary.

Role of HR is the same as in any other industry. I do not see it as different. It all depends on the HR professional as to what opportunity he/she sees to make a contribution or impact on the organization.
