The size of the hr group and the number of hr specialists reflects the size of the company. For a very large company, an organization chart like the one in figure 1-1 would be typical, containing a full complement of spcialists for each hr function. At the other extreme, the hr organizational chart for a small manufacturer may contain a total of only five or six staff, and have an organization along the lines of figure 1-2.
Examples of hr job duties include:
Recruiters. Search for qualified job applicants.
Equal employment opportunity (EEO) coordinators. Investigate and
resolve EEO grievances, examine organizational practices for
potential violations, and compile and submit EEO reports.
Job analysts. Collect and examine information about jobs to prepare job descriptions. Compensation managers. Develop compensation plans and handle the employee benefits program.
Training specialists. Plan, organize, and direct training activities.
Labor relations specialists. Advise management on all aspects of union-management relations.
