As the role of an HR professional in an organization has become vital and the need for the HR team to be strategic partners in the growth of an organization has become imperative, an HR Generalist is regarded as a person who brings on board the right kind of people, looks into the well-being of the employees, and works towards the overall development of the employees and the organization.
Responsibilities of an HR Generalist
An HR Generalist looks into the overall HR activities of an organization, right from the recruitment of employees to exit formalities. Their work encompasses:
• Recruiting and staffing
• Organizing workspace for new employees
• Updating personnel files and employee status changes
• Administering leaves of absence
• Overseeing employee relations counseling and exit interviews
• Reviewing annual performance reviews
• Developing and implementing HR policies and procedures
An HR Generalist is a person who takes care of the entire gamut of HR activities, instead of specializing in one particular area of HR.
Hope this answers your query.
