What Are the Key Activities of HR Departments? Seeking Detailed Insights and Updates on Compliance

Activities of Human Resource Departments

Please provide me in detail the activities carried out by the Human Resource departments of organizations. I have listed a few below. Your guidance with further details would be highly appreciated.

01) Recruitment and selection.
02) Compensation and benefits.
03) Employee relations.
04) Industrial relations.
05) Safety, health, and welfare.
06) Statutory compliance.
07) Training and development.

If any other functions are carried out by HR personnel, please include them. Please provide a comprehensive overview of the activities performed under each function.

Statutory Compliance

Regarding statutory compliance, kindly provide a list of records, returns, and registers maintained under the Factory Act, along with the forms, due dates, contributions, and percentages.

For the current year, please update me on any changes or the latest amendments in the various labor laws applicable to shops, establishments, and the Factory Act.

Two more important functions that can be added are:

08) Performance Management System
09) Career Planning

For information on the end-to-end activity, you may refer to Google. Additionally, you have written one of the functions as Employee Relations. However, we have moved to Employee Engagement.

Lastly, organizing a "Formal Mentoring Programme" (Mentoring) is also an important HR function. However, it is not executed in many companies. Going further, there is either a distortion of this function or it is often lumped with coaching. Lumping has diluted its individuality.

Thanks,
