My challenge: "In many companies, the first person you may meet, before being hired, usually comes from Human Resources. But what exactly goes on behind the HR doors? We have an idea about what accountants do, how marketers spend their days, but what about those guards at the door who you need to get past? For this challenge, I want you to do a little research into the lives of the HR department. What do they do? What are they responsible for? Is it more than just interviews? What professional organizations do they belong to?"
The Human Resources (HR) department of a business is an extremely important piece to your business puzzle. Although sometimes overlooked, the HR department provides your business with a representation and professional manner. Human Resources is responsible for; the recruitment and selection process; classification and pay systems; policy development and management; employee training and development programs; equal employment opportunity and affirmative action programming; and humanistic services such as Employee Assistance Programs.
As you can understand, the HR department is a dire part of any professional organization that wishes to be successful with their customers, employees and staff services such as Walmart, Diamond Supply Company, and even a bank!
