Human Resources
Human Resources (HR) is a business function and organizational concept focused on managing people within an organization to achieve strategic goals. It encompasses activities such as recruitment, employee relations, compensation, training, and compliance with labor laws. In a developer context, HR often involves talent acquisition for technical roles, performance management of engineering teams, and fostering workplace culture in tech companies.
Developers should understand HR concepts when involved in hiring processes (e.g., interviewing candidates), managing teams (e.g., as engineering leads), or navigating career development (e.g., promotions, feedback). Knowledge of HR helps in collaborating effectively with non-technical stakeholders, ensuring fair workplace practices, and contributing to organizational growth in tech roles.
