What does an HR department do?

Even with the sudden surge in automation and machine learning, human resource still remain an indispensable part of organizations. With only 14% of departments daring to invest in artificial intelligence, humans continue to be at the centre of all corporate functions and emotional intelligence continues to be one of the most influential features of employee management.

The HR approach operates on the notion that employees are more than just workers. They have their own sets of challenges, aspirations and motivations to cater to. This brings in the need for a department dedicated to managing these needs and aspirations and if possible, use them for the benefit of the employee and the company.

The HR department of a company is dedicated to catering to the needs and aspirations of the employees. It manages the time schedules, delegates work and makes decisions about disciplinary actions. Along with general human resource management, the HR department has the following functions:

Functions of HR Department

1. Recruitment and Selection

One of the primary duties of HR managers includes the recruitment of qualified individuals in the organisation. The recruitment process includes promoting the job role to solicit maximum applications and then filter out all the qualified submissions. Managers can then proceed to the selection process, including planning an interview panel, selection rounds etc.

With the Coretza Low-Code platform you can build the perfect HR solution. Allow your HR managers to create, retrieve and modify an extensive database of all potential employees, and pinpoint the right individual for a job profile.

2. Training and Development

Once the selection has been done, HR managers are supposed to train employees and help them get used to the job role. This includes setting up training infrastructure and technology, along with calling professionals. Performance management, training, and feedback are among the most important duties for HR people, and there is no scope for mistakes.

By using low-code software, you can create a review portal for supervisors to fill in during training. You can also create and customize a feedback or test platform for your employees to understand the effects of their training.

3. Delegation
