Human resource management systems operate throughout an employee's tenure with a company, from recruitment and selection through employment management including rewards, appraisals, industrial relations, and termination of employment through retirement, resignation, redundancy, or dismissal. The role of the human resources professional has evolved from administrative personnel functions to strategic partner, employee advocate, change champion, coach, and training and development specialist in order to support organizational strategy, create an environment where employees can succeed and contribute, enable successful change initiatives, provide feedback to managers, and develop employee skills.
