advertisements, interviews, and background checks are frequently done by HR employees.
Finding employees who can perform the job well and who also contribute to the culture of the

oversees onboarding, welcomes new hires, and gives them all the information or resources they
need.

equity and consistency throughout the company. The pay and benefits department investigates,
suggests, and administers new benefit choices for employees with this goal in mind.

HR must take specific steps to address or penalise the improper behaviour or performance in
cases of employee misconduct. A verbal or written warning, probation, suspension, or
termination are all possible sanctions. The administrative reaction depends on the seriousness
of the infringement and is determined case-by-case.

❖ Company policies

access to the appropriate benefits. Employee handbooks and corporate rules are updated and
modified as necessary by HR professionals, who also ensure that all workers are informed of
all company regulations.

groups. The process of guiding the employee through the orientation and training phases is
