What is HR Management?

Human Resources (HM) or HRM (Human Resources Management) is the department responsible for the strategic development of an organisation’s workforce with the objective to retain and develop good people to give your business a competitive edge.

HR isn’t just about booking annual leave and recruitment; there are many vital tasks that fall under a HR Managers remit – many of them focussed on legislation, employment law, personal data security and employee safeguarding. In addition to these areas, there are many routine day-to-day tasks that need to be executed. This creates endless, repetitive administration that needs to be deployed efficiently and accurately.

Who needs HR Management?

Any organisation that employs one of more staff members is effectively running a HR department. Often for smaller businesses, this might be the business owner (who let’s face it will wear many other hats during their working day such as credit control, new business sales, customer service, IT support … we could go on!). As a firm begins to grow, it may make the leap to a designated Human Resources representative or manager who will manage all the following areas:

• Recruitment, interviewing and onboarding

• Legislation, Right to Work checks and compliance

• Contracts

• Starters’ and renegotiated contracts

• Management of leavers and exit interviews

• Performance manage employees

• Appraisals, promotions, and career tracks

• Annual leave – planning, viewing, authorising

• Sickness and absence contingency planning

• Maternity, paternity, sickness and retirement policies and terms

• Shifts and rotas

• Salary reviews

• Health and Safety

• Training and development

• Strategic reporting on all employee matters
