Human Resources

​Within a company, human resources (HR) is responsible for screening, recruiting, and training employees, as well as implementing employee processes. In effect, HR departments are specifically responsible for managing a company's entire employee experience, from when an individual applies to a position to when they begin working at the organization, and, finally, when they leave it.

In some companies, HR also administers compensation benefits. HR departments exist to add value to an organization by providing objective guidance to managers and employees on people-related matters. This work is done through a combination of day-to-day support for employees, project work, and long-term strategic planning. A well-managed HR department finds the right people for the job and does what it takes to keep them content and productive.
