Doesn't really matter. If HR are the employee facing 'front' of the company and do all the work of booking flight, hotels, transport etc then the buck stops with them.
i.e. If one is a tech/product team lead with an external client, you can't blame a developer (below you in the food chain) for screwing up. All screens/functionality has to be verified before the client sees it. If not, you'll more than likely look like an idiot.
- rippercushions 4y agoI've never worked in a company where HR does flight and hotel bookings. Just how many people work in your company? Or are you using "HR" to refer broadly to everybody working in any type of administrative role? In my (typical) company, HR sets travel policy but everything else about travel, down to approving expense reports, is outsourced to vendors or other departments.
- vlod 4y agoThis was for a v.large investment bank. There are most likely other departments, but HR generally manage all of the trip details and are the front for the employee. i.e. to save the employee wasting a bunch of time talking to X number of depts (that don't return calls etc) to try and get things setup. i.e. From a costing perspective, you don't want senior people or super busy (and expensive) engineers wasting a bunch of time.
- fknorangesite 4y agoI still feel like you are using "HR" here to refer to a broader set of administrative roles that are not actually Human Resources.
