Human resources is the practice of directing an organization's employee-related administrative functions. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, human resources managers plan, coordinate and direct the administrative functions of an organization. Organizations want to attract, motivate and keep qualified employees and match them to jobs for which they are well-suited, and human resources managers pursue that aim by directing the administrative functions of human resources departments. Their work involves overseeing employee relations, securing regulatory compliance, and administering employee-related services such as payroll, training and benefits, while supervising the department's specialists and support staff.
