launched by a company, there is human mind, working hours and efforts and as such the
employees of a business are it's prime asset through which it properly functions. Human resource
management is a multilayered business function which deals with recruitment, training,
development and retaining of an organization's workforce. As an operational department of a
business enterprise, the human resource managers performs a variety of functions including but

employee remuneration (Agarwal, 2021). There are various models and theories of human
resource management which directly affect an organization's productivity and efficiency as the

MAIN BODY
The role of the HR function within an organisational context
Human Resource Management plays a diverse amount of equally important functions for
an organization as it deals with all the aspects of the human element of business and without
proper management of a company's workforce, a majority of it's routine operations and core
functions cease to perform optimally (Alvehus, 2018). The various functions of HR along with
their roles in an organizational context are stated below.
 Recruitment and hiring–In order for a business to perform efficiently and it's operations
to run without critical errors, it needs a talented and highly focused workforce. Recruiting
talented and highly skilled professionals is one of the most crucial roles played by HR for
an organization as human resource management is responsible for conducting proper job
analysis by holding meetings with department heads and supervisors to enquire about job

openings and get a brief about the qualities and type of skills they require in new
candidates, setting up of effective recruitment strategies to lure in highly regarded talent
and making them undergo a rigorous screening process. HR is also liable to undertake
professional verifications and background checks on the candidates who applied for the
vacant job position in order to authenticate their eligibility to work for the company.
Deloitte's recruitment and selection process usually starts from summer after graduation
of students of all major colleges in the UK has taken place and is also quite exhaustive as
after inviting applications from interested candidates from both online and offline
channels, the resumes go through preliminary screening followed by more technical tests
which are taken online or at their physical office locations (Anlesiny and Susomrith,
2020). Applicants who bypass these rounds are then put through a tough interview
consisting of 3 rounds before background check takes place which is finally followed by
an offer letter.
 Training and development–The role of human resource does not end with simply hiring
talent professionals to fill vacant jobs and goes much beyond the scope of selection as
motivating, developing and retaining employees is as important a function as recruiting
them is. Training and development is another primary aspect of human resource
management where educational, technical and academic sessions are conducted with the
workforce of a company in order to impart them with knowledge and skills which equips
them for better job roles in the future and to make them more efficient at doing their
current job. Deloitte pays special emphasis on the methodical development of their
employees as they provide a wide range of professional qualifications and their internal
training modules are recognized for CPE credits by most other industries and companies.
They fully support their employees in pursuit of individual excellence as whenever there
is compulsory requirement of training for a job role or function, employees have full
access and backing of the central education team of Deloitte and are also provided with a
exam mentor in case of in case of mandatory qualifications (Bakalo, 2022). They recruit
and provide training for different departments and fields such as audit and assurance, risk
advisory and consulting.
 Employer-Employee relations–Another important aspect of business work that HR
department is tasked to handle is to maintain friendly and professional relations between
