Hey, you are talking about the Role of Human Resource in an Organization or discussing HR personnel in a Human Resource Department/Organization. What exactly do you want to know? Well, you need to understand the role of HRD and the value of HRD in an Organization first, which is really important before delving into the role and responsibilities of HR Personnel. You need to know why HRD exists in an Organization and have to discover the work, functions, and needs of HR first. Understanding the entire Human Resource and its responsibilities is not easy. You need to proceed step by step, learn with patience and care, but for a brief overview of HR, HRD, and Functions, we may proceed.

Understanding the Human Resource Department (HRD)

Human Resource Department (HRD) is a profession that encompasses a broader range of activities to develop personnel within Organizations, including career development, Training and Development, and Performance Appraisal Policies. HRM is an integral part of HRD.

Responsibilities of the HR Manager

It is the HR Manager who has the responsibility for all functions dealing with the needs and activities of the organization's people, including the areas of responsibility listed below, which may vary based on the size of an Organization:

- Recruiting
- Hiring
- Training
- Organization Development
- Communication
- Performance Management
- Coaching
- Policy Recommendation
- Salary and Benefits
- Team Building
- Employee Relations
- Leadership

In larger organizations, the Human Resources Department has roles such as HR Generalist, manager, director, each with clearly defined, separate roles in HR management, with progressively more authority and responsibility in the hands of the manager, director, and ultimately, the Vice President, who may lead several departments, including administration. HR directors and occasionally HR managers may head up different departments, each led by functional or specialized HR staff like the training manager, compensation manager, or recruiting manager.

Human Resources staff members act as advocates for both the company and its employees. Therefore, a good HR professional constantly balances to meet both needs successfully.

Every person and function under HRD has its own entity, role, and responsibilities.

Now, you have an idea about HR, HRD, the roles, and responsibilities of an HR Manager.

Thank you, Anil Arora. You share good information with me. Right now, I am clear with HRD & HRM. I want a little more explanation of this.

That was an example of the initial stages of setting up an HR Department and the procedure. In HRD, everyone has their own entity/role, responsibility, authority, and power at their level, and all are working towards the achievement of organizational goals. The most important role in HRD is that of an HR Manager. In an HR Department, there can be many managers for different functions, as mentioned above: Training Manager, Compensation Manager, and so on. The reason why a manager is the most important is clear. I hope you have no further questions on this, as I have already emphasized the value of a manager.

Good afternoon Anil, could you explain how HR Managers assign roles to their staff, such as requirements, compensation, payroll, and so on? On what basis do they assign work to their staff? Is it based on their graduation or skills?

Please provide me with an explanation.

Assignment Based on Skills

Definitely, it is based on skill. How can one assign work to a person who doesn't have the skill to perform the work? Could you please let me know your qualifications and work experience? I would like to know more about you.

In my earlier response, I have mentioned all the details and procedures, but it seems you are not understanding the same. Do you have more doubts or questions in your mind? If yes, then please let me know what exactly you want.

Finding the Right Fit

Well, if you are a manager and have to get work done by someone, the first thing you will do is find a person with the relevant skills, knowledge, and experience who is able to perform. Subsequently, you will assign the work to this individual.

Hope you have now received the answer you were looking for.
