No, HR is not a stressful job. Here are some of the factors that can influence whether or not a Human Resource Management position can be stressful:

The factors that contribute to HR being stressfulYes / No
Do you prefer interacting with people on a day-to-day basis?Yes
Is one of your strengths conflict resolution?Yes
Do you believe that employers and employees should be treated fairly?Yes
If you have answered “yes” to at least two of these questions, then Human Resource Management might not be a stressful job for you.
No, it is not hard to get a job in Human Resources (HR). If you complete a NATED Human Resource Management course at Matric College, you can apply for a job using the iWIL service. The Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) offers this service to students who need work experience.
Here is what the Human Resource Management process looks like:
Step 1: Job analysis and Human Resource Management Planning
Step 2: Recruiting new employees and making the best selection
Step 3: Employee training, performance evaluation, and compensation for work done
Step 4: The Human Resource Management process ends when the employee leaves the company

The four major Human Resource (HR) functions are:

  1. Directing
  2. Managing
  3. Organising
  4. Planning

Directing

This function of Human Resource Management involves motivating employees to work willingly and effectively. This helps the business to achieve its overall objectives. Human Resource Managers can motivate employees in the following manner:

  • Career planning
  • Increasing salaries, giving a yearly bonus or incentives

Managing

Managing is about regulating activities that are in line with the objectives of the company. This function helps control and evaluate the performance of the company.

Organising

Human Resource Managers help with the design and development of the structure, to carry out many operational duties. The development of the structure may include the following:

  • Organising personnel duties into functions or positions
  • Assigning duties to different employees
  • Give each manager different departments to manage

Planning

Human Resource Managers need to plan ahead, so they know which manager should run which department. This ultimately benefits the company as a whole because planning will determine what the best goal is for the company.

This generally deepens on the size of the company. If it is a small company the managers will manage everything and hire a consultant when they need them. Larger companies will have an entire Human Resource Management department. 

This will include a group of Human Resource professionals that will specialise in certain areas. For example, a certain Human Resource Manager will only focus on recruitment, whereas other Human Resource Managers will focus on compensation.
