What Does a HR Manager Do?
A Human Resource Manager works very closely with the upper management to help steer the organization in the right direction by implementing policies and executing HR related tasks. Depending upon the organizational structure, industry, size and turnover, an HR Manager could either be someone who has vested interest in the future of an organization as a partner, reporting directly to the CEO, part of a mid or upper level management team reporting to the vice president. An HR Manager works as a link between the policy makers and upper-management such as vice presidents, executives, directors, board-members etc.; and must work closely with other department heads such as training, facilities, logistics, operations, business development, marketing and sales.

HR Manager Education and Training Requirements
Although in many organizations entry-level positions such as recruiter, researcher, documentation specials etc. may require just a high school graduation, it is nearly impossible to advance your career on the basis of experience only. Even a bachelor's degree would not be of much use for securing a mid-management position as an HR manager in most organizations. In-order to have a flourishing career as an HR manager in most prominent and reputable companies the basic criteria is post graduate education, such as master of science or MBA in human resource management. Training in specific software used for record keeping, enterprise management and resource planning, presentation and document creation, editing, digital signage, project management and communication etc. would also be required.
HR Manager Experience Requirements
An HR Manager, in any organization, whether externally sourced or internally promoted, must have spent at-least 2 years in a similar position. Preferably someone who has spent 3-4 years with one organization before seeking employment elsewhere. The person must have the experience of managing a team of people and external contractors. If hiring someone without previous title of HR manager, ensure they have certification from any of these following associations: The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), WorldatWork, HR Certification Institute (HRCI) and International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans.
