HR Representative Jobs in Pennsylvania

A Human Resources (HR) Representative plays a vital role in the HR industry. They are responsible for managing and coordinating various HR functions, such as recruitment, onboarding, employee relations, training and development. They are also involved in policy development and implementation, as well as ensuring compliance with labor laws and regulations. They serve as a link between management and employees, and are often tasked with resolving any work-related issues or disputes to maintain a positive working environment.

Important skills for a HR Representative include excellent communication and interpersonal skills, problem-solving abilities, and knowledge of HR practices and employment laws.
