Rekha,

Usually a Core HR professional is somebody who performs a Generalist role. Some organizations have a different take on this and also assign on-boarding and payroll responsibilities to a core HR person.

Per se, the following would be the professionals under HR :

1. Talent Acquisition - Recruitment role
2. Talent Management - Generalist role
3. Talent Development - Learning and Development
4. Talent Deployment - Visa processing folks
5. HR Operations - offer letter releasing, on-boarding, employee database maintenance, background verifications, exits, etc.

Some mature organizations have the payroll being taken care of by the Finance team, which is good. Some organizations let the HR Ops person do it.

So, you can see that the classification of roles within HR, can be at best be described as a loosely bound. For example, I am the only HR professional in the company, I would have to do all the roles. In which case, all these definitions go for a toss.

Cheers !!!

My pleasure Diana. I am glad you found it useful.

Thank you so much for your view point

Hi Harish,

Thanks to you for a clarification on the roles.But do you mean to say a core HR person himself is designated as a Generalist?
