What Does a HR Advisor Do?

A day in the life of a HR Advisor

When I say I work in HR, or Human Resources, I often have to explain what that means.

Most people only ever see their HR person when they’re hired or when they’re leaving.

 

But there’s a lot more that we do!

HR is often misunderstood, we pulled together the research on what a HR Advisor actually does.

During an average week, HR people spend..

21.2% of their time on:

  • conflict resolution,
  • interviews,
  • reports,
  • & training.
During-an-average-week

42.7% of their time on:

  • providing advice,
  • meetings,
  • or responding to emails.


7.8% of their time on: 

  • strategy.


25.8% of their time on:

  • other HR activities.
