Human resources, training, and labor relations managers and specialists play an important role in organizations by connecting qualified employees to suitable jobs, managing administrative tasks, consulting on strategic planning, enhancing morale and productivity, providing training opportunities, and helping companies effectively utilize employee skills. There are many types of these professionals, from generalists in small organizations handling all human resources work to specialized managers heading departments like employment and placement, compensation and benefits, training and development, or labor relations in large corporations. They work to recruit, hire, and support employees at all levels from elementary school through post-secondary education and career transitions.
