The people in human resources ensure that a business has the right people to the do work of the company, and that this workforce receives the benefits that they have been promised.

For human resources staff, it's all about people, both those already employed by the company and those a company wants to hire.

Human resources managers and their staff are involved with recruiting, interviewing, and hiring qualified new employees, including matching them to company positions for which they are best suited. They often provide new employee orientations as well.

Additionally, the human resources department helps to ensure that all company employees receive their benefits and implements activities that enhance employee satisfaction and productivity. Finally, they also ensure that the company complies with all local, state, and federal employment and labor laws.

Typical human resources manager and staff occupations include:

  • Human resources managers,
  • Human resources assistants,
  • Compensation, benefits, and job analysis specialists,
  • Employment, recruitment and placement specialists, and
  • Training and development specialists.

All American businesses, except perhaps the smallest, have the need for one or more Human resources management personnel.
