Understanding HR Department Hierarchy: Can You Help Me Map Out the Roles from Entry to Executive?

Could someone please help me with the hierarchy of designations/positions in the HR departments of companies—from lower to top level.

Interesting question—the hierarchy depends on the organizational structure of the company, and it differs from industry to industry. For example, in most companies, these designations follow from bottom to top:

- Trainee-HR
- HR Assistant
- Junior Officer
- Senior Officer
- Junior Executive-HR
- Senior Executive-HR
- Assistant Manager-HR
- Manager-HR
- Deputy General Manager-HR (DGM-HR)
- Assistant General Manager-HR (Asst. GM-HR)
- General Manager-HR (GM-HR)
- Zonal-HR
- Head-HR
- Vice President-HR (VP-HR)

I hope this helps you.
