Human resources
Human resources (HR) is the set of people who make up the workforce of an organization, business sector, industry, or economy. A narrower concept is human capital, the knowledge and skills which the individuals command.
In vernacular usage, "human resources" or "human resource" can refer to the human resources department (HR department) of an organization, which performs human resource management, overseeing various aspects of employment, such as compliance with labor law and employment standards, interviewing and selection, performance management, administration of employee benefits, organizing of employee files with the required documents for future reference, and some aspects of recruitment (also known as talent acquisition), talent management, staff wellbeing, and employee offboarding. They serve as the link between an organization's management and its employees.
The duties include planning, recruitment and selection process, posting job ads, evaluating the performance of employees, organizing resumes and job applications, scheduling interviews and assisting in the process and ensuring background checks. Another duty is payroll and benefits administration, which deals with ensuring vacation and sick time are accounted for, reviewing payroll, and participating in benefits tasks, such as claim resolutions, reconciling benefits statements, and approving invoices for payment. Human resources also coordinates employee relations activities and programs, including employee counseling.

By integrating the expertise, knowledge, and competencies of human resource development practitioners with industry practitioners, most industries have the potential to be transformed into a sector with ecofriendly and pro-environmental culture.
Human resources also deals with essential motivators in the workplace such as payroll, benefits, team morale and workplace harassment.

The strategic planning component came into play as a result of companies recognizing the need to consider HR needs in goals and strategies. HR directors commonly sit on company executive teams because of the HR planning function. Numbers and types of employees and the evolution of compensation systems are among elements in the planning role. Various factors affecting human resource planning include organizational structure, growth, business location, demographic changes, environmental uncertainties, expansion.
