Recruitment
The success of recruiters and employment specialists generally is
measured by the number of positions they fill and the time it
takes to fill those positions. Recruiters who work in-house as
opposed to companies that provide recruiting and staffing
services play a key role in developing the employer's workforce.
They advertise job postings, source candidates, screen
applicants, conduct preliminary interviews and coordinate hiring
efforts with managers responsible for making the final selection
of candidates.
Safety
Workplace safety is an important factor. Under the Occupational
Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers have an obligation to
provide a safe working environment for employees. One of the
main functions of HR is to support workplace safety training and
maintain federally mandated logs for workplace injury and
fatality reporting. In addition, HR safety and risk specialists often
work closely with HR benefits specialists to manage the
company's workers compensation issues
Employee Relations
In a unionized work environment, the employee and labor
relations functions of HR may be combined and handled by one
specialist or be entirely separate functions managed by two HR
specialists with specific expertise in each area. Employee
Compliance
Compliance with labor and employment laws is a critical HR
function. Noncompliance can result in workplace complaints
based on unfair employment practices, unsafe working
conditions and general dissatisfaction with working conditions
that can affect productivity and ultimately, profitability. HR staff
must be aware of federal and state employment laws such as
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the
National Labor Relations Act and many other rules and
regulations.
