Why do These HR Responsibilities Matter?

Hire strategically

Losing an employee can be very expensive throughout the process of bringing in someone new to replace them. The hiring process alone costs an average of $4000 and 24 working days.

HR makes this recruiting process a lot easier as they work to bring in the right new talent and get them up to speed.

HR works to do things like revise paid time off and benefits, and promotes these things to the rest of the company.

MANAGE BENEFITS & TIME OFF

When an organization has a poor tracking system, the average employee only ends up taking on average 3 days of PTO a year. HR manages things like benefits and time-off which leads to greater and more long term employee engagement.

TRAIN MANAGERS & EMPLOYEES

Training managers and employees is an important aspect in any organization, and HR helps get this task accomplished. As a result, they are helping new hires develop the necessary skills needed along with improving career and company development. 

Human Resources Onboarding

HR also helps reduce employee turnover with both the systems they create and the way they integrate new employees.
