A human resources (HR) department performs HR management functions, such as finding, hiring, training, and supporting new employees. Its function includes:
Reviewing resumes

Keeping track of employee information

Ensuring the company complies with labour laws and employment standards

In some companies, HR also administers compensation benefits. HR departments exist to add value to organisations by providing objective guidance to managers and employees on people-related matters. This work is done through day-to-day support for employees, project work, and long-term strategic planning. A well-managed HR department finds the right people for the job and does what it takes to keep them content and productive.
