HR STRUCTURES
in different workplaces
The human resource management structure within an organisation should
reflect the structure of the organisation itself. There is thus a big difference
between the HR structures of a small company and that of a large
corporation.
Small organisations
Any company with more than
50 employees will need at least
1 full-time Human Resource
Manager.
As a company grows in
terms of employees and
internal structures, HR
management becomes a
job for more than one
person. An HR department
consists of multiple HR
Managers who each
become responsible for a
specific aspect of HR
management.
DUTIES:
● Set basic policies and practices
for hiring, training, and
remunerating employees.
● Run HR administration.

issues.

policies.
●Manage employee relations.

● HR reporting

Big corporations
Big corporations often have
multiple branches or regional
offices. The HR managers of
each branch need to report
back to the corporate HR
department that oversees the
entire corporation.
