Hi Seniors, I want to know if HR and Admin have the same profile, or if we consider Admin as a part of HR. Please let me know what the KRA of HR is in the hospital, hotel, and education industries. Will it be considered as HR or Admin in these industries?

HR and Admin are different profiles. However, in a few small conventional companies, these roles are handled by the HR department.
Key Result Areas (KRA) of HR and Admin
In a broader context, HR is responsible for man management within the organization. This includes everything related to the manpower of the company, such as recruitment, payroll management, and employee exits. On the other hand, Admin is related to the administration and office management of the company. Tasks such as managing office maintenance and office facilities fall under the KRA of Admin.

Admin is more about day-to-day management, whereas HR focuses on long-term strategies. Yet, day-to-day issues can escalate into Industrial Relations (IR) issues, which HR can prevent with a long-term perspective. For instance, a broken plug point is an admin issue. However, if an employee receives a shock because the broken plug is not replaced despite reminders, it becomes an IR issue. A good HR policy that includes a weekly grievance-resolving meeting can help prevent such issues.
There are numerous examples like this. Based on your working area, you can define Key Result Areas (KRA).

Difference Between HR, Personnel, Admin, and IR
HR: Manpower management involves the entire process of managing employees in an organization, including wage management.
Personnel: This includes managing employee data, correspondence with different departments, and overall management.
Admin: Focuses on office management, office maintenance, vehicle management, etc.
IR: Deals with disputes, industrial relations, and trade unions.

In my opinion, the Admin department is always part of the HR department. The Key Result Areas (KRAs) for HR & Admin can be as follows:
HR KRA:
- Recruitment within specified time periods.
- Minimum man-days/hours of training for each employee.
- Compliance with deadlines.
- At least two to three engagement programs per quarter.
- KRA/PMS cycle within defined time limits.
Admin:
- Providing services to employees within 48 hours.
- Renewal of all Annual Maintenance contracts in a timely manner and obtaining quotations from vendors for various services.
- Arrangement of guest house, vehicles, and travel management for employees on an as-needed basis.
These are just a few examples of KRAs; they may vary depending on the organization.

Understanding HR vs. Admin Roles
Your queries: "I want to know if HR or Admin is the same profile, or if we consider Admin as a part of HR? Please let me know what the KRA of HR is in hospitals, hotels, and the education industry. Will it be considered as HR or Admin in these industries?"
Position: HRM vs. Administration
HRM and Administration are not the same, conceptually. The profiles and functions differ. HRM focuses on the transformation of people you hire and have, with specific reference to their untapped potential to perform better than before by empowering them to apply/use their discretion (within prescribed organization limits). This is achieved by pooling their energy and intelligence and allowing contributions.
Key Responsibilities of HRM
- Relating to the people
- Listening to the people more frequently, both informally and formally
- Channelizing their ideas, suggestions, and constructive criticism
- Seeking and securing superior performance from them after defining crystal-clear duties, responsibilities, and roles
- Acknowledging their contributions without any arbitrariness, accompanied by suitable rewards (praise - public or private)
HRM focus remains the same wherever you employ/engage people. "Without Others, Nothing can be Achieved."
The HRM functions, duties, focus, crusade, intervention, or business activity will be what it is, whether one knows it as HRM, HRD, People Management, Man Management, Workforce Deployment, or whatever. It is a sacred pursuit.
