A key responsibility of HR administrators is the preparation of documents relating to new employees, as well as those who are leaving the company or who may have transferred from another branch in the case of a large firm
HR administrators assist HR managers and other members of staff working within a human resources department. They provide administrative support during the recruitment process and offer assistance with the training and developing of an organisation’s workforce.
Following up references for recruitment purposes and keeping track of employee changes, such as promotion, are also important HR duties typically carried out by administrators. The work calls for well-organised individuals with good written and verbal skills. As employee records tend to be computerised, IT skills are also an important requisite, as is a methodical and analytical approach to work.
