Human Resources Specialists

In any business with employees, an HR specialist is essential. As many companies have moved online in the last year, the role of an HR specialist has definitely evolved, and it’s arguably a more important role than ever. This is because businesses are adopting alternative methods to traditional management.

Remote work presents unique challenges and opportunities for an HR department. An HR specialist is responsible for the management of the workforce through strategies and processes as well as the development and reinforcement of company culture: the shared attitudes and behaviors of the business and its employees.

Someone in this role should expect to oversee a range of legal and administrative tasks related to recruitment, compensation, employee engagement, wellbeing, and contract termination.

The job of a business operations specialist is to obtain a comprehensive overview of company operations before suggesting improvements to operations. Every company has objectives, and a business operations specialist develops pathways to reaching those goals.

A company hires a business operations specialist to make its processes smoother and smarter. This person will audit their system and make practical suggestions for improvement based on their in-depth understanding of best business practices.

Management Analysts

Many people started freelancing during the pandemic, and management analyst is one high-paying job that can be performed on a freelance basis. Someone in this position is contracted by companies to solve their operational problems and improve their systems.

Management analysts bring an external perspective to the companies they work with. First, they perform research. This may include interviewing staff at all levels of an organization, observing typical processes and analyzing company data.

Once they understand the business and its shortcomings, they make recommendations for improvement and develop strategies for the future. This might involve supporting the development of specialist skills that the company lacks or planning a transition to a new information technology system.

Alongside data-gathering and analysis duties, market research analysts must present their findings to high-level decision-makers in understandable, engaging ways. They are also responsible for assessing the efficacy of marketing strategies.

Market research analysts are expected to stay abreast of industry trends so they can provide up-to-date insights to the companies they advise. They take data and turn it into actionable recommendations for business leaders.

Financial Managers

Financial managers were traditionally responsible for simply monitoring a company’s finances; however, this role has evolved. It increasingly involves supporting executives in decision-making that might affect the financial health of their organization. Data analysis is required, then, but so is an understanding of business concepts. Financial managers are expected to help companies maximize their profits.

The everyday responsibilities of a financial manager might include the preparation of financial statements, reports about business activity and forecasts. They review reports and find ways to reduce costs, and they seek opportunities for business growth.

Context is important. A financial manager may work for a government organization, for example. This role would require specialist knowledge of government budgeting systems. The specifics of the job ultimately depend on where it is based.

Financial managers also apply their knowledge of the law to ensure that companies operate legally. Each industry has its own laws and regulations that a financial manager would be expected to understand.
