Human resources management oversees and executes the hiring, training, compensation recruiting, and benefits. And depending on the size of an organization, dedicated compensation and benefits specialists or managers may develop and manage the entire organization’s benefits packages and payment structures.

And as a profession, Human Resources has consistently been ranked on the top of the lists of best career options.  The U.S. News & World Report ranks the role of HR specialist at #17 on their list of Best Business Jobs and as one of the 100 Best Jobs overall for the year 2020.

The prime reasons why a career in human resources stands out are:

Promises growth

Depending on one’s knowledge and specialization, a career in Human Resources provides an opportunity to learn and grow, along with ample advancement opportunities, high job satisfaction, and security.

Endlessly interesting

The function combines many attributes to create value, such as a combination of academics and skills on one side, finance, psychology, and behavior on the other. The HR task engages you in new activities, tasks, and people to interact with every day.

Challenging

Finding, hiring, allocating, and retaining top talent is an art. The stakes are even higher depending on the sector you choose, as new norms emerge with the entry of the millennial generation along with new expectations and ventures, leading it to be a truly tactical function.

Make a difference

HR is responsible for organizational outcomes and managing the most valuable asset of business — people. Working in HR can help to shape the employee’s work experience at every stage and create an organizational culture. Working in an HR department may have access to insider views on the workings of the entire organization and the opportunity to participate in its growth and development.

Competitive and clear entry criteria

HR also requires clear qualities of integrity because of access to confidential employee information. In addition, you will need business management, finance, accounting knowledge, and relevant education. While it is also possible to transition into HR after working for several years in an operational role, pursuing a formal HR education is becoming important in today’s competitive job market.

Many entry-level HR jobs require a minimum level of education and experience, which can often be achieved through internships, temporary positions, or part-time jobs. These introductory positions offer a realistic view of the profession and the workings of the company, also leading to permanent, full-time job offers as an HR assistant or other entry-level position.

HR assistants often get promoted to professional-level roles, such as recruiting manager, staffing manager, administrator or human resources manager, and payroll manager.
