The human resources (HR) department is responsible for shore-side staff. They are involved in the creation and implementation of policies governing employees.
The policies include, but are not limited to, reward & benefits, payroll, recruitment & retention, training & development, employee legislation, and performance management.
Smaller shipping companies may only have 1 person responsible for all aspects of HR whereas others may have larger departments with team members having a specialist focus. e.g. Reward, Learning and Development, Recruitment.
