Human resources management is central to the functioning of every organisation: employees must be welcomed, assigned tasks and supervised throughout their careers. Successful human resources employees must be practical-minded and well-trained and possess excellent people skills.

Whether they are involved in training, recruitment, social security and payroll management or relations with staff and staff representatives, human resources managers must possess both a global vision and wide-ranging expertise. Over and above legal, accounting and financial knowledge, HR specialists must also possess excellent active listening, organisation and forecasting skills.
