HR Jobs: HR Director Profile
After several years of experience within an HR environment, an HR director will be expected to demonstrate outstanding working knowledge of all areas of company policy and employment practice. The HR director will have ultimate responsibility for the following:
- Recruitment
- Employment law
- Health and Safety
- Discrimination and diversity
- Salary reviews and payroll disputes
- Training initiatives
- Staff morale
This role can change on a day-to-day basis, but generally you will perform a key role in ensuring communication and working practice is streamlined all the way through an organisation. This job can be high-pressured, so on occasion you may have to act as a mediator in order to settle employment and workplace disputes.
On a day-to-day basis, you will work in close conjunction with departmental managers to ensure HR initiatives are being followed. It’s crucial to have an excellent working knowledge of all aspects of employment law (and any forthcoming legislative changes) to succeed in this role.
In terms of salary, an HR director tends to earn around £30,000-£40,000 a year, although in large, international organisations, senior HR jobs can see a salary advertised well in excess of £50,000 per annum.
