What is a Human Resource (HR) Representative?
A human resource representative essentially forms a link between employees and their employers, particularly in large organizations where top management can''t meet everyone who works for the company. The job may entail recruitment, interviewing potential employees, hiring new staff, providing training, working to limit job turnover, increasing moral, or even consulting with management on strategic planning. At a smaller company, a human resource representative might do all of those things, but larger corporations typically hire several HR representatives, and each one takes responsibility for a specific area.
What Education Can Help Me Become a Human Resource Representative?
For many HR jobs, you need a bachelor''s degree in human resources or labor relations. This degree combines courses in business, the behavioral sciences, and the social sciences, typically including:- Collective bargaining
- Compensation
- Economics
- Industrial psychology
- Labor law
- Organizational structure
- Performance appraisal
- Principles of management
- Recruitment
- Training and development
Other positions may require a master''s degree, such as contract negotiators, mediators, arbitrators, and employee benefits managers. Those with a background in law may be able to smoothly transition into one of these fields with minimal training in human resources.
Additional education, such as an advanced degree or professional certification, could also help you advance to human resources management or earn a higher salary.
You also need good people skills, knowledge of computers, fair-mindedness, and the ability to cope with stress and high pressure situations in a calm manner.
