They carry a wide range of responsibilities, including recruitment and selection, onboarding new hires, providing training and development opportunities, managing compensation and benefits, ensuring legal compliance, and handling employee relations matters. They also play a crucial role in developing and implementing HR policies and systems that align with the company's strategy.
