Curious About HR Generalist Roles? Differences Between Service and Manufacturing Sectors

Hi All, I am a fresher and want to know about the roles of HR generalists in the service sector and manufacturing sector.

Hi Prashant, could you please enlighten me on the role of an HR Generalist? I would like to understand whether I should focus on finding a specific profile for this role or explore other functions within HR, such as recruitment or compensation. Your insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi A. Ari, if I am not mistaken, does an HR Generalist cover all the roles like recruitment, training, and compensation?

I can formulate a statement outlining how the HR generalist role encompasses all the areas that HR professionals can work on.

The role of an HR generalist encompasses all HR activities. Depending on the maturity of the organization, it can vary from OD activities to operations. For instance, in a mature organization, as an HR generalist, your portfolio might include OD, training planning, and strategic planning. However, in less mature organizations, the role might become more operational, such as running payroll cycles and ensuring data integrity.

4. Training and Development
5. Employee Welfare and Employee Engagement Activities
6. Induction
7. Full & Final Settlements
