The objective of the Human Resources Department is for companies to fulfill their goals, which are the main purpose and reason of being an organization. Hereunder we share the main reasons why human resources are key for all companies:

• An essential aspect for the success of companies is to make an adequate selection of personnel and, subsequently train and retain the more suitable professionals taking into account the high competitiveness in the current labor market. In this sense, identify the employee profile that the company requires is one of the most important tasks in the human resources area.   

Continuedly, make sure that they adapt to the system in the best way and that they feel duly paid and motivated.

Challenges that the Human Resources area faces

1. Digitalization: there are companies that have not adapted to the digital revolution we are currently living. 
2. Promote engagement and talent retention: the challenge is to stay ahead in salary issues (whether they are monetary or emotional) which allows to retain talents and generate their engagement with the organization. 
3. The formation and development of work teams: Currently there is greater interest in development opportunities and the team they join than the salary offered. It is vital to know the teams, promote the development of talents and emphasize on the importance of each of the workers, regardless of their role in the organization. 

What to recommend to workers entering a new job?

Most important aspects in a Resume 

1. Order – the essential thing is that the Resume has an established structure; the first page must have the contact information. In relation to the work experience, identify clearly the name of the position, the company in which you worked with, the period in which you provided your services and the main tasks you carried out in this position.  
2. Clarity – Always use a readable font and keep it all throughout the Resume; if you decide to use a photo it must be clear and impeccable. If you use colors in your Resume, they must be soft colors not to take away the attention of the content that is the most important element. 
3. Length – A Resume of more than 3 pages will not be read by the recruiter; the objective is to focus on the last 3 employments and the degrees, trainings and/or certificates required for the position.
