In a small organization, a human resources generalist may handle all aspects of human resources work, and thus require a broad range of knowledge.

In a large corporation, the top human resources executive usually develops and coordinates personnel programs and policies.

In addition to openings due to growth, many job openings will arise from the need to replace workers who transfer to other occupations or leave the labor force.
