Course description
As well as performing their daily duties within the Human Resources team, an HR advisor often acts an intermediary between other business departments and the HR team, and will often act as the first point of contact for line managers and other middle managers throughout the company.
Therefore, while an advisor is an intrinsic piece of the HR department jigsaw, they will often find themselves working closely with other teams throughout the business, such as commercial, operations, and procurement, amongst others.
