HR

HR stands for Human Resources. It is a department that is tasked with ensuring the company has enough employees with the right skills, experience and seniority.

The HR department is responsible for a wide range of processes and activities. Among the most important are:

1. Recruitment

The HR department is responsible for ensuring that the company is able to identify and reach the ideal candidate profile. Recruitment activities can include the implementation of larger media campaigns, as well as sub-activities such as writing advertisements with an appropriate tone-of-voice, analysing candidates, organising and conducting interviews and, finally, creating job offers.

1. Onboarding

After recruiting a new candidate to the company, it’s time for the pre-boarding and then onboarding phase. The HR department is responsible for ensuring that new employees are well integrated into the company’s operations, given the necessary equipment and access to relevant systems.

1. Performance management

The HR department, together with the team leaders, should set performance targets for each of the employees and also collect regular feedback from people. HR management should also support employees to develop their full potential and move forward.

1. Building an employee culture

HR is also responsible for building an employee culture that is definitely not just about benefits, but primarily about how the company operates and communicates internally and externally.

1. Offboarding

Not only the first but also the last days of an employee in a company are crucial. The HR department is responsible for ensuring that the separation goes smoothly and does not damage the company’s reputation, whatever the reason for the separation. At the same time, it is necessary to supervise the handing over of the entrusted equipment, the cancellation of accesses and the handing over of work.
