Should a HRM Organization be Different for Certain Industries or Sectors?

HR Organization Design Varies from one Sector to Another
David Wilson, Manager, Canada
Hi Supriya: There is no one design, nor is there a perfect design. HR organizations will vary from one sector to another, and even within the same sector!
In theory, HR organizations should have similar core functions, such as Labour or Employee Relations, Compensation, Classification (i.e. job Evaluation), Recruitment, Pension/Benefits, Organization/Employee Development (i.e. learning Management), HRIS (including Analytics), Employee Services, etc. However, some of these services could be outsourced and other services, such as Payroll, Cafeterias, and Security could be added.
Take a look at other 12Manage topics in the HR Management forum and you will find added information on HR roles, core functions, etc., that may be useful. Regards.

HR and Organization Design

HR should definitely know the organization design. Otherwise it will be transactional. For HR to be more strategic and a business partner HR should lead the organization design.
