Understanding the Role of HR Professionals
It's understandable that a new person joining the department and new to the HR domain might have many questions. Instead of bluntly stating that a topic has been discussed numerous times, we should understand the reason for their inquiry. Perhaps they want to become more familiar with the forum and senior members. I believe we need to be more polite and provide specific answers.
Comprehensive Overview of HR Responsibilities
Human resources involve managing the human resources of an organization. This includes a wide range of responsibilities such as manpower planning, recruitment, induction, joining processes, statutory compliance, compensation and benefits, payroll processes, performance management, training and development, grievance handling, employee engagement, and strategic policy framework development. The responsibilities vary based on experience and the role one handles, and each function is extensive in its scope.

Skill gap is understood in HR terminology as the gap between the actual skills required to perform a job and the skills possessed by an employee doing that job. Sources to understand the gap can be job description, job design, KPAs, KRAs, and the performance review reports, etc.

Talent retention strategy varies from sector to sector. When investment goes into training of freshers, retaining them for at least a 2-year period may be of utmost importance for any organization. Similarly, at the mid-management and top management levels, retaining key performers is important. Employee engagement on a continuous basis will help in retention.

Why this question, if you are HR? Have you got any confusion about HR roles? If so, what are they? If you are not HR, what is the context in which this question is raised so that members can address that? A plain answer can be that HR roles embrace all people-oriented functions from recruitment to retirement with development roles in between like training and development, performance management, and employee welfare, etc.

HR is a vast subject, and the roles of HR are equally extensive, as posted by Saiconsult. Defining the HR role in one sentence could be MANAGEMENT, i.e., MANAGING MEN T (TACTFULLY) - which starts from sourcing to separation and beyond separation as well.

What you have written is correct; however, your post misses one important aspect, which is organizational performance. Talent Management, Talent Profiling, or even your recruitment standards should be designed based on the performance your company wishes to achieve. Examples of organizational performance are:
a) We wanted to elevate the Inventory Turnover Ratio (ITR) from _____ to _____.
b) We wanted to increase the Account Receivable Turnover Ratio (ARTR) from _____ to _____.
c) We wanted to improve the Customer Satisfaction Index from _____ to _____.
d) We wanted to reduce per shift energy consumption from _____ to _____.
If our focus is on individuals, then we start looking at or even rewarding individual excellence, but the organization continues to stagnate. This is far more dangerous as it reduces the organization's competitiveness.
Let me give a slightly different example, but the context is the same. Recently, an interview with Mr. Arun Jain, Founding CEO of Polaris, was published in the "Business Line." The headline of the interview read "http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/...cle9081650.ece It's important to pay well to get top talent." He blamed poor talent for his company's inability to catch up with IT bigwigs like Wipro, Infosys, etc. It took twenty years for him to understand his mistake. Not that Polaris did not have KRAs for their employees. However, the focus was on employees and not on where the organization wanted to go.
Many companies have a budget for their employee costs. Based on this cost, recruitment and selection are done. Based on the personnel on board, the KRAs are set because everyone knows it would be beyond the scope of available manpower to attain stellar performance like big companies.
