Q1:

Human resources departments are mainly known for their responsibility of recruiting
employees. This includes creating position announcements which involve identifying job
duties and determining the skill level and requirements that are needed for a position.
Regarding my current company, they are recruiting upon types of project what manpower
resources are requesting if not available at the same time.
That is happened with me while I had joined the currently company as construction manager
in new company project because I had been worked at the same project three years ago,
therefore company had selected me as I have great experiences in the same project.
 Compensation
Fair payment is a huge concern for employees. Human resources department personnel
evaluate and make changes to an organization’s pay structure by researching compensation
trends with the aim of providing employees with industry-acceptable pay.
In the old company, there were no any compensation and benefits even the result of
appraisals were satisfactory, therefore I haven’t continued on it the I had transferred to the
current company.
 Benefits

Developing and effectively administrating an employee benefits program is a great
recruitment and retention tool that organizations use. Common benefits of a job include
health insurance, dental insurance, and a retirement plan.
Human resources personnel must research and analyze information to obtain the best
packages for these benefits which should provide adequate coverage for employees while
minimizing the costs for the employer.

evaluate employee performance.
This department is responsible for creating the entire performance appraisal process. This
process frequently occurs annually for many organizations.
