What is HR? Human Resources is the profession which helps organisations with the recruitment, development and management of its employees. The HR functions in different organisations vary greatly in their role and can cover a very wide range of activities. This including (but definitely not limited to) advertising and interviewing for vacancies, supporting managers with discipline, grievance and absence cases, negotiating with trade unions, designing and managing redundancy programmes and developing employment policies.
It can be very challenging and varied work. To be successful in HR, you need to be able to understand complex (often legal) issues and come up with pragmatic solutions, deal with a number of different pieces of work at the same time, remain comfortable, confident and professional in situations where people can be emotional and angry and be able to communicate well and influence people who are often much more senior than you.

The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) is the UK's professional body for people in HR. The CIPD website (cipd.co.uk) has lots of information on the profession.
