HR Director Jobs in East Lansing, MI

A HR Director, or Human Resources Director, plays a pivotal role in developing and implementing policies and strategies related to all aspects of human resources management. This includes talent acquisition, learning and development, employee relations, compensation and benefits, and compliance with labor laws. As leaders, they guide and manage the overall provision of Human Resources services and programs for an entire organization.
