    The Role of HR in the OrganizationThe role of HR in the organization is to develop strategy for human resources that aligns

    with the larger business strategy, to contribute to the creation of the business strategy,

    and to help other business functions in their strategic roles. There are many internal and

    external factors that influence the role of HR, such as globalization, changes in the

    workforce and in the workplace, increased accountability, and increased focus on metrics.

    Within an organization, HR may fall under Finance or Management, or it may be a

    department of its own.

    Let's take a look at some of the other functions in an organization:

    In general, executive management is responsible for the overall organizational

    performance.

    Finance and accounting departments plan for, account for, document, and distribute

    financial resources according to the organizational strategy.

    Marketing helps to bring in information about customers, sales, and competitors, as well

    as to guide the organization's position in the market.

    Management, or operations, is responsible for logistics, planning and distributing

    resources.

    IT makes business intelligence available and manages systems for effectiveness and

    efficiency.

    HR is a cross-functional role that serves as a bridge between the different functions, helps

    align human capital with business strategies, and manages the life cycle of employees.
