The role of the HR department has changed a bit over the years however and now more of a strategic role is taken by professionals in this field. Previously a lot of the activities carried out were administrative and related to recruitment and policies within the organization. There has been a paradigm shift as businesses and organizations realize the importance of a strong workforce and how to attract and retain the top staff. Human resource departments or consultants are key to helping businesses with this.
Talent management is an important area of HR. This is the process by which talent in an organization is spotted and placed on a path towards promotion or the top positions in the company. Generally this is carried out through performance monitoring and getting to know staff as individuals to find out their own career aspirations. It would be unfortunate to have a member of staff pegged as the next CEO, only to discover they have a completely different life plan! Often CEOs or senior managers aim to carry this out themselves, but in order to be thorough and ensure nothing is missed, it is much more sensible to give this responsibility to a human resources professional.
Surveys are another part of modern human resources management. Businesses need happy staff in order for the organization to thrive. Gleaning information and feedback from employee surveys and questionnaires is a great way the senior managers can find out more about the general feeling and sentiment amongst staff. Armed with the results, a strategy can be put into place to make improvements where necessary or boost morale. If you have an experienced human resources professional working with your company then you will benefit from tried and tested methods for improving the culture and mood within a company. This can be of great benefit to productivity levels and to overall profits too!

Allowing individual staff members the chance of advancement and progression up the career ladder is important if a company wants to attract and retain the best workers. Finding out career aspirations and implementing training to help individuals reach their goals is a vital part of the human resources management role. If your company hasn't the room or the funds to take on new staff to take care of these vitally important human resources activities then you have two options. The first is to attempt to carry out the work yourself, or allocate it to an existing staff member. The second is to outsource the services to a specialist supplier.
