An HR generalist is a people professional who is involved at all points throughout the employee lifecycle. HR generalists typically perform a broad range of HR responsibilities rather than specialising in one area.

Learning and development (L&D) specialists design, develop and deliver training programs for employees within an organisation.

Talent management specialists are HR professionals responsible for attracting, developing, and retaining the right talent within a business.

Equality, diversity and inclusion (ED&I) specialists work with organisations to ensure they are fair, non-biased and inclusive.

Employee experience specialists help businesses create a positive working environment to get the most out of their people.

Employee relations specialists help maintain positive relationships between employees and their employers.

Similar to talent management, resourcing involves helping businesses to recruit the right people for the organisation.

Reward specialists ensure that an organisation’s pay and benefits fit the organisational context and culture.
