human Resources may set strategies and develop policies, standards, systems, and processes that implement these strategies in a whole range of areas. The following are typical of a wide range of organizations:
Maintaining awareness of and compliance with local, state and federal labor laws
Recruitment, selection, and on boarding (resourcing)
Employee record-keeping and confidentiality
Organizational design and development
Business transformation and change management
Performance, conduct and behavior management
Industrial and employee relations
Human resources (workforce) analysis and workforce personnel data management
Compensation and employee benefit management
Training and development (learning management)
Employee motivation and morale-building (employee retention and loyalty)
Implementation of such policies, processes or standards may be directly managed by the HR function itself, or the function may indirectly supervise the implementation of such activities by managers, other business functions or via third-party external partner organizations. Applicable legal issues, such as the potential for disparate treatment and disparate impact, are also extremely important to HR managers.
