Definition of Human Resources
Human resources are a department within a company in which everything related to the people who work in it is managed. This would include recruitment, selection, hiring, onboarding or welcome, training, promotion, payroll, contracts and dismissals. In short, the human resources department must work so that all the people who are part of the human team of the company.
 
Human resources are indispensable for any company that needs to grow and hire the best workers for each position or help the people who work in the company to continue developing, training and growing.
 
Responsibilities of the human resources department:
The main functions and responsibilities of the human resources department encompass the processes of Recruiting new members for the team, managing employees and processing dismissals or dismissals in the team. The link below has more details:

• Employee assistance plan
• Relocation
• Payroll management
• Management of flexible remuneration
• Management of variables
• Legal aspects
• Mediation between employees
• Layoffs and casualties.

 
Importance of the human resources department:
Today, the presence of a responsible Manager or HR department is essential in any company, regardless of the size of it. It is essential since it is the only department that manages the people who make up the company and who looks after the welfare of the workers:

• Improve the abilities and skills of employees
• Increase equipment performance
• Ensures a career plan for employees
• Hire new talent
• Guarantees interpersonal internal communication
• Carries the administrative burden of the team
• They watch over the culture of the company.

 
New terminologies for human resources:
In recent years many of the professionals who are dedicated to human resources have proposed new ways of naming the department and moving away from that somewhat outdated vision of referring as a human resource to a person who works in a company.
Some professionals propose the change of HR to: Personnel Management, People Department, People, People & Happiness or even Happiness Department.
 
Human resources programs
Another recent change in the human resources departments has been programs or software specialized in people management. In recent years, most departments of people have started using HR programs such as the Factorial to manage absences, losses, payroll, contracts, flexible compensation and many more tasks that correspond to this department, with the idea of automating tasks that do not add value and save time to devote to what really matters, the happiness of employees.
