Human Resource Personnel takes care of the compensation, benefits, remuneration and training of the staff

Attracting the most qualified employees and matching them to the jobs for which they are best suited is important for the success of any company in Malaysia.

It is more cost effective to hire the right staff than to take in staff who are not matched to the position and waste the company's resources in the hiring process and remuneration.

Therefore, today’s human resource professionals are increasingly working with the organization’s top executives on strategic planning to create the conditions that enhance employee performance and to contribute to the overall operations and performance of organizations striving to succeed in the competitive business world.

Human Resource personnel participate in activities of the company related to recruiting and hiring, training and development of staff, determining staff compensation and benefits, employee relations including handling grievances, ensuring occupational health and safety, and other activities geared towards strengthening their organization’s entire workforce.

In an effort to improve morale and productivity and limit job turnover, human resources managers also help their firms effectively use employee skills, provide training opportunities to enhance those skills, and boost the employees’ satisfaction with their jobs and working conditions. As the global marketplace continues to expand, experts in human resources management will continue to be in ever-increasing demand.

A good university in Malaysia will prepare graduates with the necessary knowledge and skills to succeed in the area of human resource management. Top human resource specialists are paid very high salaries in Malaysia.

organisation.

Human resource personnel are responsible for recruiting, screening, interviewing and placing workers. They may also handle employee relations, payroll and benefits and training. Human resources managers plan, direct and coordinate the administrative functions of an organization. They oversee specialists in their duties; consult with executives on strategic planning; and link a company’s management with its employees.

Their aim is to ensure that the organisation employs the right balance of staff in terms of skills and experience, and that training and development opportunities are available to employees to enhance their performance and achieve the employer's business aims. HR personnel not only deal with staff welfare and administration-centred activities, but also strategy and planning.

HR specialists tend to focus on a single area, such as recruiting or training. HR generalists handle a number of areas and tasks simultaneously. Small companies will typically have one or two HR generalists on staff, while larger ones may have many devoted to particular areas and services.

Some typical daily tasks for an HR worker include:

• Consult with employers to identify needs and preferred qualifications on potential staff
