HR 101: What is Human Resources?

The Human Resources discipline is referred to as HR in business. HR's primary value is providing the infrastructure for the continuous interaction and communication an organization's management group and the direct employees. The result should be growth and prosperity of the company and all of the employees.

HR has a dual mission to champion the company's interests and represent employees. Company success and the fair and respectful managing of employees are so intertwined as to become the same thing.

The communications and interactions that go on are the daily life of the company and the better this works the more successful the company becomes.

Sample elements of this infrastructure often include:
-Legal Compliance
-Employee Problem Resolution
-Company Culture
-Organization Dynamics
-Employee Handbooks
-HR Policies and Procedures
-Recruiting New Employees
-Compensation and Benefits
-Employee Communications Programs

There is a lot more and we will talk about it all.
