Zeepo,

You are correct, the HR function has gone through a transformation. From pure administrative roles, HR professionals have specialized into various areas. Some additional roles I can think of are:

1) Talent Managers: responsible for locating, hiring, managing, and retaining resources.
2) Compensation Analysts: responsible for designing compensation and reward programs.
3) Benefit Specialists: responsible for managing benefit packages such as Medical Insurance, 401k or savings plans, retirement benefits, disability (short/long term), paid time off, etc.

Thank you.
