Human Resource Management (usually referred to as HR) involves everything related to the
employer-employee relationship and is about supporting and managing the organizations
people and associated processes. Its seen as a core business function essential to the
organizations effective operation.
Most larger organizations in the public and private sector have their own designated HR
department, opening a broad range of companies and sectors to applicants. Recent years have
seen increasing numbers of companies outsource key elements of their HR functions. So,
opportunities within HR consultancies also exist.
HR is a very popular and highly competitive career with graduate schemes being among the
most oversubscribed. Your level of HR focus will vary from scheme to scheme, with some being
based purely within the HR department and others expanding candidate's experience to other
functions such as marketing, management and more.
HR has great scope for specialism and development within a particular HR function (e.g.
development, equality and diversity, recruitment and selection, etc.) and with specialism comes
extra responsibility and remuneration.
Human resource (HR) managers ensure employees receive the proper compensation and
benefits, oversee workplace safety, direct the maintenance of employee records, and manage
overall employee hiring, evaluation and labor relations. They also develop, implement and
oversee training programs or procedures. HR managers must stay up-to-date with policies that
govern employee rights, such as equal opportunity employment and sexual harassment. These
professionals work full-time in an office setting, although travel might be required for meetings
or recruiting events.

Promotion is the appointment of existing members of staff to another post or office at a higher
grade than the one previously held. This may be the result of either a successful application for
an advertised vacancy, or, where appropriate, personal promotion.
Academic staff
An annual exercise is conducted to consider applications for promotion to the office of
Professor, Reader, or Senior Lecturer. The exercise requires submission of specified
documentation to support applications, which is then considered by specially convened
promotions committees. Each office has designated criteria and a baseline threshold against
which applications are evaluated. The exercise is highly competitive, and rigorous prioritisation
takes place. Not all candidates achieve promotion in any exercise
Academic related staff
Progression to a higher grade, other than by means of a successful application for an advertised
vacancy, occurs only where the duties of the underlying role have changed enough to merit
regrading. The updated role description (form PD33) is assessed by Human Resources using the
HERA role analysis scheme to determine the new grade. Details of the scheme are published on
the Human Resources Division website.
Contract research staff
Promotion within the scope of an existing research project requires a recommendation,
supported by the research sponsor and head of institution, that the responsibilities undertaken
by the member of staff matches the generic role profile for the higher grade. Promotion to
Senior Research Associate requires approval by the relevant Faculty Board.
In cases where promotion is sought to higher grades, evidence is needed of achievement
equivalent to the research/scholarship criteria used to consider applications for promotion to
the equivalent grades of Reader (Principal Research Associate) or Professor (Director of
Research).
