In any business environment, large or small, for-profit or non-profit, public or private sector, the functions of Human Resources are essential and critical for the strategic, as well as day-to-day, effectiveness of any company in any industry - domestically and globally.  Human Resources professionals blend knowledge and skills from the fields of business, leadership, psychology, communication, and education to ensure that organizations can attract, motivate, and retain their most important assets - their people.

As savvy business professionals, HR practitioners must balance the needs of the business with the needs of the employees.  In doing so, they partner strategically with senior management to plan for and obtain the skills and talents necessary for the organization's success.  HR professionals recruit and hire this talent, create and implement pay and benefit systems, train and develop employees, design and administer methods to determine employee satisfaction and manage corporate culture, manage small- and large-scale organizational change, as well as design and execute performance management programs.
