Answer 1

whos hr

Answer 2

I am not an HR professional but I would imagine your resposibilities are:
1) Recruting new employees
2) Employing company policies
3) Administering of company benefits
4) Employee career development
5) Compensations

The HR department is to put structure for company employees. You pretty much represent the employees, whereas management represents the company. For example, if I had a problem with my boss, to whom can I go to? The answer is Human Resources. This does not mean that the HR department automatically takes your side because the HR dept also represents the boss as he too is an employee. But it ensures that policies are carried out fairly whether that be in the area of promoting, firing or disciplining employees.

Answer 3

sounds like another one of those pesky exam questions to me.....ok, here we go....

The main activity of an HR function is to serve as a liaison between the employees and the management of the company, to provide management with the necessary data to make good business decisions with respect to the human resources of the corporation and also to be an advocate for the employee who has concerns or questions.

The role and status of the function is determined by two main factors: 1) the competence of the HR staff and 2) the partnership formed with the executive management of the corporation. HR can partner in many areas - recruitment, organizational design and development, training, talent retention, compensation and benefits, risk management, and safety, to name a few. The level of engagement will depend on the level to which HR is perceived as a true business partner to the other members of the management team.

That about sums it up. :)

Answer 4

HR is responsible for adminstering the company's policies and rules regarding its employees. HR also must determine whether the company and its employees are in compliance with the many regulations from OSHA, EEO, Fiar Labor Board, and various other agencies.

HR, depending on the compoany, may actually recruit and hire new employees or HR may provide strict guidelines for those that do the hiring.

HR is responsible for the benefit programs in the company, including reviewing existing and new benefits. While mush of the day-to-day work maybe outsourced, HR management is still responsible for the benefit programs. (The senior management of the company, including the board of directors approve the benefits; however, it is normally HR that makes the proposal and compares the plans available.)

HR also may fire employees. HR will certainly review the firing of all employees. Especially employees with senoirity and minority employees.

HR may also be called in to mediate a dispute between peers or between superior and an employee.

Answer 5

The role of hr can vary wildly, but primarily i would say that its function is to ensure all employees are fully trained, paid correctly and to ensure that recruitment is done according to the law and that it meets the business needs.
