The role of an HR is just hiring and payroll, right?

We’ve all heard it. And yet, nothing could be further from the truth.

The HR department today is one of the most multidimensional teams in any organization—driving talent, culture, compliance, and employee wellbeing all at once.

But here’s the catch:
In many companies, especially in India, HR roles are often overlapped, misunderstood, or undervalued—not due to ignorance, but due to lack of clarity in structure.

So let’s break it down.
A thriving HR team often includes:

  1. HR Assistants & Admins – the backbone of daily operations

  2. Recruiters & TA Specialists – the face of your employer brand

  3. HRBPs & L&D – aligning people with business growth

  4. Payroll & C&B Experts – ensuring every rupee is fair and timely

  5. Employee Relations & Compliance – keeping the culture and law in balance

  6. And today’s rising stars – HR Analysts, HRIS Specialists, D&I Officers

Each role plays a part. Each title carries purpose.

  1. When HR is structured right, people stay longer.

  2. When roles are clear, performance improves.

  3. When teams feel supported, culture thrives.

Let’s start giving HR the clarity, structure, and respect it truly deserves.

Not just for the sake of the department—but for the entire workforce that depends on it.
