Comprehensive Overview of HR Functions and Managerial Roles

Dear All,

I am a consultant working in a well-known consultancy firm in Mumbai, and my knowledge in terms of HR functions is very poor. I wish to enhance my knowledge and want to know what the key functions of a Human Resource Manager are.

Hi Mirza,

When discussing the role of an HR Manager, it's important to note that they are responsible for a variety of functions including recruitment, training and development, compensation and benefits, competency mapping, performance management, core HR activities, employee relations, employee engagement, labor relations, and more. I hope this brief overview helps you understand the functions of an HR Manager.

Thanks,
Pinky

Dear Pinky,

I wish to address one of the very important aspects of HR function. An HR professional works as a change agent, and his key role is to bring about change - change in culture, work environment, organizational climate, attitude, and behavior of people. He acts as a salesperson to sell his ideas of change, a finance person to analyze the cost-effectiveness of each management move, and a marketing person to develop new HR products and establish his department as well as his company as a brand - a company to work with. He is a strategist who identifies issues before they become problems and provides solutions to prevent issues from escalating into problems.

Pinky/Shabbir:

Pinky, I think Shabbir has given you a different scenario of HR, and of course, it is the perfect picture of what he has presented to all of us here. Shabbir, good thoughts, and keep sharing your views.

Thanks,
Mirza

Hi Pinky,

I agree and am also impressed by what Shabbir has said. However, I would like to add a few more activities to his list.

The role of an HR professional in any organization includes:

1) Recruitment & Selection
2) Performance Appraisal
3) Policy Making
4) Retention
5) Exit Interview
6) Employee satisfaction survey
7) Nowadays, even an HR professional in a manufacturing unit/industry handles Industrial Relations (IR).
8) An HR professional also has to prepare job descriptions for newly recruited candidates.
9) In the current market scenario, the HR team also acts as a Strategic Business Partner in the organization.

I believe this information is sufficient for you to understand the roles of an HR professional.

Ankit

All the functions mentioned above are key HR functions, but I believe that induction training is the most important. This is the first impression that a new employee gets about the organization.

Hi Pinki,

Please see the attached document. It may give you an idea about HR activities.

It's really a good one, this is not only beneficial to Pinky but it is useful to all recruiters, like me. As a recruiter, the HR is really a stage on which we will be going to perform, and such information and guidance from seniors will bring extra performance to the juniors.

Thank you very much to all seniors and Pinky as well for putting up such a valuable post.

Additionally, what are the areas, apart from recruitment, that I need to improve in order to increase my chances of landing a job in a corporate setting?
