We (~120 employees) have worked with some massive conglomerates and retail enterprises too, and HR is wholly necessary for those formats. Where the line blurs between white collar and blue/brown collar collar is where HR becomes mandatory. For a purely white collar company? Absolutely useless and not worth it.
- socalnate1 5mo agoWhat are you talking about? The people who do the list of tasks you described are literally the HR team. Regardless of what you call that group of people; that’s your HR team.
- fakedang 5mo agoAdmin team also handles general administrative tasks within our company - arranging supplies, managing access to resources, liaising with cantonal bodies, etc. i.e. they perform those one-off HR tasks in addition to administrative tasks that are done regularly. It's not an actively separate team within our organization like Compliance is.

- kelipso 5mo agoThat’s what’s being discussed though… Dedicated hr teams, people ops, whatever other structure. The basic hr tasks still need to be done but how is what is being discussed.
