Human resource issues are an integral part of an organization's annual business plan and are always a significant component of how successful the organization will be. Personnel professionals serve and assist line management in accomplishing the organization's mission with and through people. Via policy implementation and consultation, personnel advises and serves both management and staff. HR serves as a liaison or mediator between competing factions in resolving personnel-related conflicts. Personnel departments have different divisions or departments staffed with HR professionals who use their expertise to build and maintain an efficient infrastructure.
HR also supports management in executing the organization's strategy.
Finally, HR is integrating finance, operations and people to allow the organization to perform optimally. Although most personnel, training, and labor relations specialists and managers work in the office, some travel extensively. For example, recruiters regularly attend professional meetings and visit college campuses to interview prospective employees. All Rights Reserved.
