Becoming a HR Manager
Become a Human Resource Manager
I will be talking about becoming a Human Resources Manager. In my current role I am an Office Manager, where I focus on the basic aspect of the human resource field. I would like to further my career in this field since there are so many. I plan on becoming a HR manger and/or HR director.
With the extremely high competition in the business world, corporations are looking to recruit the best and the brightest in employees. To keep these employees happy and to reduce huge turnovers, companies have relied on human resource managers to make an environment in which these valued employees can be productive and profitable. Human resource managers make sure that upper management, lower management, and workers have a mutual and beneficial work environment as listed by the O*Net OnLine website by performing several of the following duties: * Work with executive management to employ the right workers * Develop programs to help train and orientate new employees * Communicate between management and employees about grievances * Stay informed of all labor laws, regulatory issues and their changes * Answer questions about employee benefits, pay structure and personnel policies
(“11-3121.00 Human Resource Managers”.)
Management of corporation personnel is necessary in any type of industry, whether it is technical, business, or manufacturing, that company will always have a human resource professional. With the ever-changing economy, graduates seeking employment should consider a career in this field. According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, job openings are “expected to grow 13 percent from 2010-2020” which is the average rate for most occupations as shown in Figure 1 (United States). Legislation is constantly changing rules and regulations affecting the work environment, which will increase the demand for more human resource managers
