HR is multidisciplinary:
• It applies the disciplines of Economics (wages, markets, resources), Psychology (motivation, satisfaction), Sociology (organization structure, culture) and Law (Maternity Benefit Act, Min. Wage Act, Factories Act, IRO, etc.).
• HR is embedded within the work of all managers, and most individual contributors due to the need of managing people (subordinates, peers and superiors) as well as teams to get things done
