HR Manager Jobs in Merriam, KS

A Human Resources (HR) Manager plays a crucial role in overseeing and implementing the HR policies, procedures, and programs of a company. They are responsible for areas such as recruitment, compensation, benefits, training, employee relations, and maintaining the safety of the workforce. They ensure that the company operates within the legal framework and remains compliant with employment and labor laws. Furthermore, HR Managers contribute to the development of the company's strategic goals and ensure that human resources align with these objectives.
