Dear Users of CITEHR,
I would like to know about the various types of HR managers typically found in the HR department of a company. Currently, I am working in a company where there is an HR head and a group head of Learning & Development. Additionally, there are managers in specific roles such as HR Manager - Recruitment, HR Manager - Operations, HR Manager - Salary Processing, and HR - Compliances, among others.
I am a little confused about where to start if I want to pursue a career in HR. Furthermore, I am interested in enrolling in a one-year PG course in HR through distance learning. Please provide information on institutions or universities that offer this course at a minimal fee. I have been suggested Pondicherry University. Would you recommend pursuing the course at Pondicherry University?
Thank you.

Dear Adil,
Irrespective of any discipline in HR, it all means the same.
Since, as you have said, there are many HR managers for various functions, I would suggest that you go into any one of them. There would be no harm in working in any field in HR, but also keep knowledge of various functions of HR in your company.
As far as your distance education for HR is concerned, I would suggest that you can apply for Symbiosis because doing distance learning from a well-known reputable institution will be reflected in your resume.

Dear Adil,
It seems you are working with a big company where they have an 'HR Manager' for all HR aspects. As rightly conveyed by Mr. Ankit, all mean the same. The main area is 'HR domain'. In small to middle-level organizations, one or two persons usually handle all these functions.
Coming to your career progression, you need to introspect yourself into which HR domain, i.e., Recruitment, T&D, Payroll, etc., you would like to build your career. But at the same time, you should have a basic knowledge of all other domains.
For distance learning, it's very important to choose a well-known university like Symbiosis, Sikkim Manipal, etc. Doing distance learning from an unknown/less familiar university will not add much weightage to your credentials.

Dear Users of CITEHR,
Let me know what kinds of HR managers are there in the HR department of any company. I am working in a company where one is the HR head, and the other is the group head of Learning & Development. There are managers such as HR manager - Recruitment, HR manager - Operations, HR manager - salary processing, HR - Compliances, etc.
So, I am a bit confused. If I have to make a career in HR, where should I start? One more thing, I want to pursue a one-year PG course in HR through distance mode. Kindly update me on the name of an institution/university that charges the least fees and offers this course. Someone has suggested Pondicherry University. Should I go for Pondicherry?
Hi Adil,
It is important for HR to participate in the growth of the organization by helping others to improve their performance and keeping themselves motivated. Even without having technical knowledge about a function, HR can have an important say in it and thus become a welcome figure everywhere in the company.
I found this site where I see many useful things we can discuss. Hope that it's useful for you: HR manager job description.
Best regards.
