Determine own responsibilities and performance
As a HR Manager my responsibilities might slightly differ from other organisations. They include basic functions like managing employees and delegating responsibilities, but their role is much larger.
The responsibilities and performance that I require to tackle the challenges are:
Recruiting
* An HR manager is responsible for creating recruitment and selection strategies that seek applicants for possible employment. Strategies vary depending on the organization, but are not limited to internal or external processes that find potential employees.
Training and Development * Managers implement training efforts that teach an employee job related skills. They provide development opportunities that teach employees new skills to meet the challenges of new jobs or processes at the company. They also assess training needs, create training curriculum and determine how to best provide training to employees. These training opportunities are for new and current employees.
Performance Management * Creating effective performance management systems that measure whether an employee's efforts meet organizational goals is a responsibility of an HR manager. They create tools that measure the tasks of the job in relation to the actual performance of the employee.
Employee Relations * Keeping employees satisfied, communicating information on policies and handling complaints, union activities and questions regarding benefits are all aspects of employee relations responsibilities that fall on the HR manager. Employee relation processes are in place to maintain morale and maintain a positive company image.
In the 1970's employment legislation increased and the personnel function took the role of the specialist advisor ensuring that managers do not violate the law and that cases did not end up in industrial tribunals.
