Hey, it's up to decision-makers if they want to utilize you more; they will give you a better chance to learn. Admin does not come under HR, and vice versa; HR does not come under Admin (I don't agree with Puja).

Understanding the Roles of Admin and HR
Admin is a completely internally focused department, dealing with tasks such as system and office maintenance, and essentially facilitating the smooth running of the business. In contrast, HR is focused on internal personnel management and external functions such as recruitment. HR also has a strategic dimension, such as Human Resource Planning (HRP), which Admin mostly does not.

As a Senior Executive in HR/Admin at an Infrastructure Company, I would like to emphasize that Admin is a part of HR. This is because Admin personnel are always recruited and deployed by HR individuals.
In essence, HR and Admin are complementary departments that work hand in hand with each other.

Hey there!
Taking the above discussion forward, instead of pondering whether HR and ADM are the same, I would like to point out that both are independent functions with different purposes to serve within the organization. HR serves internal customers, who are our employees, while Administration serves both internal customers and external customers, whom we refer to as vendors.
The evolution of HR has transformed from Industrial Relations (IR) to HR to Business HR to Strategic HR. The growth of HR is evident, whereas the administrative part has not progressed to the same level.

Understanding the Relationship Between Admin and HR
With reference to the question, the Admin is the whole, and HR is the part that deals with employee-related issues. Of course, HR handles the recruitment part, but it doesn't mean that HR is equivalent to Admin.
Hence, you must have got the clarification.

Dear All,
One thing we all need to know is that Admin is part of the HR Department. HR is a wide field where many more fields like T&D, Performance Management, Recruitment, etc., come under it, and Admin is one of the compulsory sub-departments of HR. All departmental objectives and policies are designed by HR, and their execution is implemented through Admin. Admin is responsible for employee file management systems, Time & Attendance Systems, etc.
Please let me know if you need any further clarification.
Thank you.

Dear Meenakshi,
Admin and HR are different departments and have distinct roles. In some organizations, especially in small-sized ones, they are combined, with Admin falling under the HR department.
In larger organizations, where handling all Admin functions by HR becomes challenging, a bifurcation is made into Admin and Facilities, which then operate as independent departments while HR remains a separate function.
Every organization tailors its structure according to its specific requirements.

Hi,
HR and Admin are both different departments with distinct roles and responsibilities. HR and Admin cannot be considered equivalent. HR has a very vast role and responsibility in the organization where production and growth are affected. On the other hand, Admin has a fixed and formatted role and responsibilities within the organization. An administrative person is required to only initiate time-bound activities where production and growth cannot be affected.

Dear All,
It was interesting reading your ideas on HR and Admin. Well, I feel that in India, we are still far behind in understanding what HR actually is. It is very different from what we are used to in Indian MNCs. For us, HR is simply a division that acts as a puppet in the hands of management, blindly following whatever management dictates. It can be molded from time to time as per the company's requirements. At times, we also observe an overlap between HR and Admin, making it difficult to segregate the two.
However, when we discuss HR in the real sense, it is an integral division of any company. They are the strategic planners, responsible for formulating and implementing policies, and serve as the representatives of employees to employers and vice versa. On the other hand, Admin is the division that handles the day-to-day operations of the organization and ensures the smooth implementation of established policies throughout the company.
Every division holds its own importance and is both independent and interdependent at the same time.

The Role of HR and Admin in an Organization
HR and admin are two essential pillars of an organization. The primary viewpoint is that without HR, the organization cannot function, and without admin, there is no organization. This means there would be no finance, operations, quality management, or purchasing department without proper administrative support.

In an organization, all the departments are interlinked, and all departments are customers to each other. It is a healthy vendor-customer relationship between the departments that enables the organization to grow. Similarly, HR and Admin are interdependent on each other.
HR plays a strategic role in the holistic growth of the business, whereas Administration focuses on day-to-day operations to support the smooth running of the plant and the business.

Meenakshi, first, you need to provide a brief background on any information you have encountered regarding such a question. During your studies, whether in a Diploma or Degree program, you must delve into HR, Admin, and IR concepts. Nowadays, many organizations have these as separate departments, although they are interconnected. In some organizations, the HR personnel are responsible for all three functions.
From an activity perspective, you cannot mix them together. Administrative activities include Canteen Administration, Security Administration, Water Administration, etc. On the other hand, HR focuses on enhancing employees' skills, knowledge, and abilities through training and development, competency mapping, and similar initiatives.
