HUMAN RESOURCES INTERNSHIPS FOR UNDER – REPRESENTED TALENT

Human Resources’ fundamental aim is to allow an organisation to run smoothly. This is achieved by managing the employee life cycle: recruiting, hiring, onboarding, training, and termination. Crucially, an HR professional will have a hand in maintaining a fair environment for all employees and ensuring their rights and wellbeing as well as the diversity and inclusivity of the workplace. Many organisations will have an HR department – or a member of staff – responsible for managing the employee life cycle and, sometimes, employee benefits. The purpose of HR is to support employees and sustain a work environment that works well.

The responsibilities of HR vary. They may support employees by offering training, providing career growth, and managing the impact of changes in staff’s personal or work-related circumstances. At the same time, HR might have to conduct disciplinary actions in order to maintain the equilibrium of the workplace. Other responsibilities can involve maintaining employee records, updating policies and processing payroll.

HR has the potential to contribute greatly to the overall success of an organisation.
