Curious About the HR Executive Generalist Role? Let's Dive into What It Really Involves

What does the HR executive generalistic profile entail? What is the role of an HR executive in a generalistic profile? I would like detailed information about the HR generalist profile. What are the labor laws applicable in the generalist profile apart from PF and ESI?

Hi!

In the new global scenario, some of the administrative activities are dealt with by HR generalists. Some of the activities include:
1. Joining formalities
2. Relieving formalities
3. Grievances
4. Salary administration
5. Uniforms/ID cards
6. Welfare activities
7. Leave administration

Sections like:
- BONUS ACT
- MATERNITY ACT

(As far as my knowledge is concerned, I posted this reply. Ignore if my perceptions are wrong.)

Dear Midhu,

Greetings!

In addition to Mr. Venkatesh, HR Generalist roles include:

1. Recruitment (Pre & Post)
2. Training & Development (including Induction)
3. Performance Appraisal
4. Grievance Handling
5. Employee Welfare
6. Salary-related issues
7. Statutory Compliance (ESI, PF, Gratuity, Maternity, CLRS)

Hope this clarifies.

Hi John,

Actually, an HR Generalist is not directly related to Recruitment and Training because many companies are restructuring their HR activities into three modules: general activities, recruitment activities, and training activities. This restructuring can help in avoiding confusion in handling departmental works.

Hi,

I believe an HR generalist is more in the line of an HR strategist or HR planner dealing with career development strategies, deployment strategies, and planning HR initiatives. Employee Relations is the HR operator.

Hope I am correct.
