★ “Talent Management” is one of the key roles and major duties for the HR department
and this area covers a huge responsibility of the company and maintaining all the duties

management department is responsible for appointing the accurate talent in the perfect
post and sometimes creating some new posts and jobs to acquisition more talents in the
development of the company.
★ “Compensation and Benefits”, is another major duty for the HR sector. In small
companies, one single HR person can control this section; however, the broad companies
need the entire HR segment and different persons to control the different jobs in the
compensation and the benefits sector (Aburumman et al. 2020). The compensation sector
is related to risk management, payment to the clients and more other actions. On the other
hand, the benefits section is related to the payroll of the company and the insurance
careers of the company.
★ “Training and Development”, is the role that can provide benefits to the employees to
develop their working skills and efficiency in their works. Companies tend to provide all
the tools for the development of their employees (Cooke, 2018). The tools are not only
the physical but also orientation, management and leadership training etc. These will
provide an advantage to the company by providing efficient services in their duties.
★ “HR Compliance”, is one of the necessary duties of the FR team. Compliance stands for
the activities that the company is committed to following as per the regulation of the legal
procedures and the various labour activities assured by the government (Haneda and Ito,
2018). For maintaining the duty the compliance team must be aware of some laws like
FLSA (Fair Labor Standard Act), FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act), these can help
them to work properly on the limitation or activities.
★ “Workplace Safety”, is the mandatory segment for every company and they need to
provide a safe and secure workplace for the workers and employees (Paycor.com, 2020).

Analysis

It is a very common matter that the IT facilities can enhance the facilities and the
efficiency of the management sector by the use of various tools and technologies. In that
case, it becomes very fruitful in the development of the organization
(Profilesasiapacific.com, 2020). For example, the “Success Factors Solution” has
provided some new and advanced strategies to the talent management segment of “Hilton
Worldwide” which is an international company that operates on a multinational basis.
Therefore, advanced management tools are considered as the key factor in the progress
and development of the company.

employee recruitment and talent acquisition department. After appointing an HR person
or the HR team, the management authority has no direct responsibilities regarding the
recruitment activities or the promotion or development related activities
6

(Smallbusiness.chron.com, 2019). It will be more effective and beneficial when the
management responsibilities are divided into different segments and each of them can
concentrate on their different jobs. Thus, the company’s development and enhancement
grow more than before.
★ The HRM can provide a huge benefit for accurate team building. The HR department
provides training to employees regarding their working efficiency and accuracy in
teamwork. Those training can make the mindset for proper teamwork in the employees
(Papa et al. 2018). Thus, the HRM can provide a fruitful step for creating a proper and
efficient team in the company, which can provide more working efficiency and
competitive advantage to the company.
★ The HRM sector monitors the legal side of the organizational working activities. The
HRM make the working activities legal; as per the law and norms regarding employment
or worker services (Ping et al. 2018). With these helps the company can run its working
on the right track and it is very beneficial for the companies to retain the reputation in the
market without any legal controversy.
These are the primary and major factors in which process and way the company can be
benefitted through the service of the HR department. There are some other benefits like more
Accuracy and Efficiency, more Logical Works and Perfect Steps as per the requirement of the
organisation. Thus, the HR department can cover more or less all of the management sectors of
the company and make a huge development as a net result.

Employee retention depends on the working efficiency of the employees and the working
culture of the company. In that case, when the company hires the employees by checking
their credentials and their capacity to adapt to the office culture, then there is a huge
chance to the retention of the employees (Quaosar, 2018). Thus, an advanced and
accurate recruitment process can help to grow the employee retention rate of the
company.
➢ Make the On boarding Process Easier
On boarding is the proceeds to make the new employees familiar with the office culture
and the other employees. In that case, if there are more candidates on the interview list
then it makes the on boarding process a bit tough for the companies (Saeed et al. 2019).
Therefore, if the companies select a few numbers of selected candidates for the interview
then it will be easy to onboard the candidates to the office culture.
6. Critical Discussion and Recommendation
As per all the above discussion, it is clearly recognized that there are various benefits and vital
credentials in the HRM activities of the company. It is natural that there is also the presence of
some shortcomings apart from the advantages and benefits of the HRM department.
● Diverse team building
The corporate sectors are welcoming every people from different backgrounds and with
different mindsets. Sometimes the diversity in the team can arise as an issue for the HR
managers and they face some obstacles to manage and make the people accustomed to
the same team (Startuphrtoolkit.com, 2021). Though, this issue can be solved with some
tactics, like making the employees aware of different cultures and making them able to
work as one team not as individual people.
● Developing the Future Leaders
The employees are the future leaders of the company and their development and training
totally depend on the HR managers. Therefore, Silva and Lima, (2018), stated that it is a
great challenge for HR managers to make all the employees train equally for the
9

leadership jobs. This obstacle can be solved by providing individual training to the
employees of the same categories and developing some interpersonal skills that can
make it easier.
● Obstacles to Manage Health and Safety
On the other hand, Waheed et al. (2020), stated that it is a serious issue when some of the
employees become exhausted and insecure regarding the excessive workload and stress.
In that case, the manager can solve the obstacle by training the employees emotionally
and mentally as per the workload and the workload should be divided equally among
all the employees.
