Human resource professionals aren't often given credit for their work, but Human Resource Professional Day aims to change this. It honors and gives credit to human resource professionals, and encourages people to learn more about human resource jobs and their importance to companies.
Human resource (HR) departments and the professionals who work in them make sure businesses and companies run smoothly. They influence their direction, helping to develop, build, and shape their values. They work in staffing, where they attract talent and develop and train employees. They are in charge of payroll, and they mediate conflict and act as corporate liaisons. HR specialists focus on one of these or other areas, while HR generalists work in a number of areas at once. Small companies often have a few HR generalists, while larger companies often have a number of HR specialists. All of these human resource professionals are celebrated today with Human Resource Professional Day!
