HR Roles and Responsibilities
In a bid to clearly understand the roles and responsibilities the HR department plays in an organization, I had a rare privilege to interview the Human Resource Manager of our organization, Fox Sports Network. He enumerated a number of these roles and responsibilities thus:
The human resources department serves myriad functions within an organization. Its major roles and responsibilities include ensuring that an organization complies with the labor laws. The department engages in hiring and training of employees and keeps an organization's records (Mooney, 2014). It is also involved in worker compensation, relational assistance, and handling of specific performance issues.
First forward to ensuring compliance with labor laws, it is the responsibility of the human resource department to ensure that all the organization's engagements with regard to hiring are in line with employment regulations. An organization has to comply with issues pertaining to number of breaks given per number of hours worked.

Other issues include paternity and maternity leave, remuneration for work done overtime, and whether the workers working conditions are conducive.

Open positions within an organization are first advertised by the HR department. The department, after advertising the positions, proceeds to interview and hire the candidates.
