There is no other field that has had so many new areas to deal with in the last few years, and this not only makes working in HR very diverse, but also extremely challenging.  The areas that are now dealt with in HR management range from the operational i.e. personnel administration, training and personnel development, HR marketing and recruitment, compensation and benefits or HR controlling, right through to all the people-related areas such as the work-life balance,  occupational health management and much more.  If one accepts, that which nobody really doubts nowadays - that people are the most valuable resource that any business has - then it is essential there are enough really good HR people around who don't just take on management roles but also manage to maximum effect.
