Need basic information about what Human Resources professionals do on the job? HR is a complicated, challenging career that requires knowledge and competence in a variety of workplace topics.
HR professionals have to know everything from labor law to conflict resolution to how to manage people. It's no wonder that it's a challenging career with good job prospects and earnings. Because basic questions come my way so often, I have developed an overview of what a Human Resources Generalist, Manager, or Director does, HR FAQs and HR definitions on the site.
Have a look at my take on what Human Resource (HR) Generalists, HR Managers, HR Associates, and HR Directors do; they're completely rewritten for the current changing role of HR. I'd like your feedback, too.

Need Input
I've been developing a series of articles and guides for the beginning HR professional, perhaps the person who starts an HR ofice, or is in charge of HR for the first time. I get increasing numbers of emails asking for more resources for this group and also for the small business owner who finds that he or she has to begin hiring employees.
I could use your assistance to flesh out an outline of the content this audience will find useful as they begin their journey in HR services. I'm starting with how to hire employees and how to pay employees. Please email, comment below, or post in the Forum if you have thoughts about what newcomers need. What would have helped you get started?
