Human Resource Departments add value to a business by ensuring:-

Personnel policies and procedures are followed consistently by all depts within a company (meaning less chance of management getting sued for not following procedures)

Recruiting the right calibre and grade of existing and new employees by determining job descriptions, people profiles and skills criteria to match job role (this enhances company profitability and ensures best person for job employed)

Ensuring that staff ratios are compatible to the projected cost base and taking intervention action where recruitment gets 'overblown'. This ensures that a company employs the right volume of people required, maintaining the company margins, which in turns ensures the continuing viability of the company.

Offers an impartial personnel function that restricts and controls all personnel within the business to manage people within the correct legal context and not allowing them to inadvertently (or deliberately) side step employment law and legislation.

Ensures that internal promotion and selections are carried out in a fair and equitable manner using the same base criteria for each candidate. This prevents the managers best friend from automatically getting the job and ensures that no favouritism like that is shown. This in turn means the right people get promoted which enhances the role effectiveness and increased efficiency of the job delivery.

Ensure that pay grades are equitable and reviewed with similar type roles in equivalent external organisations to keep attracting the best candidates.

Hope some of this helps
