The Community and Human Resources (CHR) Department, which is often termed the HR Department, handles many necessary functions of the organization. The primary purpose of the HR Department is to serve the needs of internal customers – the organizations employees. One of my favorite mottoes to use is “People Before Paper”. Other instrumental functions provided by the HR Department includes:
Labor law compliance
Job descriptions
Recruiting, hiring, training
Personnel record keeping
Compensation, Benefits
Personnel manual
Worker’s compensation
Family & Medical Leaves
Coordination of Township and employee events
Staff Representative for the Recreation & Parks Board
Apart from the HR Department being a versatile and multi-functional department within the organization, the main goal of the department is to continue to work diligently behind the scenes to ensure the organization runs efficiently.
