HR Generalist Jobs in Missouri

A Human Resources (HR) Generalist is a professional who manages the day-to-day operations of human resource functions and duties. They carry a wide range of responsibilities, including recruitment and selection, onboarding new hires, providing training and development opportunities, managing compensation and benefits, ensuring legal compliance, and handling employee relations matters. They also play a crucial role in developing and implementing HR policies and systems that align with the company's strategy. They act as a bridge between management and employees, ensuring smooth communication and promptly addressing demands, grievances or other issues.

Key skills needed for an HR Generalist include strong interpersonal and communication skills, problem-solving abilities, decision-making skills, and proficiency in HRIS and related software. Professional certifications such as Professional in Human Resources (PHR) or Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) are valuable additions to their profile. Prior to becoming an HR Generalist, individuals often gain experience in roles such as HR Assistant, HR Coordinator, or Recruitment Specialist. These roles allow them to understand the functioning of a HR department and develop necessary skills before moving into a Generalist position.
