HR Services

For any business wanting to optimise their processes, it’s necessary to have trained personnel committed to the mission and vision of the company.

To effectively manage the staff of an organisation requires a program that allows owners to have a thorough selection of suitable people for the different positions.

And that department is called HR.

No large organisation works without human resources and its importance cannot be overstated.

The HR department is responsible for the processes of personnel selection, recruitment, and of payments, among others.

It is extremely important because all the personnel of the company, from recruitment, selection and induction – goes through Human Resources.

Therefore, depending on their efficiency, the company can either achieve its objectives or have them limited.

How so?

The main challenge facing businesses is the continuous improvement of the staff that integrates with it. HR exists to improve the contribution of people to such organisations.

To carry out their task, the personnel departments need to satisfy multiple objectives. It is necessary for them to face social, organisational and personal needs.

These objectives can be achieved through various activities of the staff, focused on evaluating and maintaining an effective workforce.

What is HR responsible for?

For many people, human resources is associated mainly with recruitment, which is right, but the range of tasks to be performed can be much larger.

In addition to recruitment, a HR team also deals with payroll issues, holiday schedules, administrative matters and trying to ensure that employees have positive relations with each other, know how to work in a group and share similar company values.

Here, we’ll go through the 3 key areas of what makes a Human Resources department tick.

Payroll

If a company has more than 10 employees, then ideally one or more of the staff should be involved in human resources positions.

HR and payroll are often interlinked positions and so they will be responsible for issuing all letters, certificates, dismissals, holiday management and, of course, managing the monthly payments and wage slips.

It is also within their duties to keep records of employment, contracts, and compliance with health and safety regulations too.

This is so the owner does not have to personally take care of the paperwork and payment for each employee and instead, can focus on other areas of the business.

Every major company employing multiple employees should have a specialised HR and payroll department so that the entire business runs smoothly and correctly.

Recruitment

Invariably, HR is responsible for hiring personnel in the company.

This is not always the case, but in large organisations, workers in the human resources department are in charge of conducting personal or group interviews.

Furthermore, they can organise selection tests, since they are the most qualified people to know the value that a person can contribute to the company.

Not only this, but they are also responsible for evaluating the professional performance of the workers, and to motivate them if necessary.

Employee Supervision

HR is in charge of ‘knowledge management’.

This means the human resources department are responsible for collecting and evaluating everything learned by the employees, as well as with their experiences within the company, so as to manage and supervise them effectively.

They are in charge of ‘work relations’, that is, of the links that are established in the workplace and that are capable of improving the production process.

They are the representatives of managers when communicating with employees in this regard.

This is common in large corporations, where HR is responsible for talking to workers about issues that superiors then may have to address within the team.

Essentially, an HR department should be a kind of bridge between employees and the employer.

They should listen to the voices of both parties and give the management attention and ideas of employees together with suggestions for improvements.

Their tasks also include presenting the position of the management to the employees. All activities undertaken by HR employees are aimed at developing and maintaining a specific organisational culture.
