“HR vs Admin: What’s the Difference?”

HR (Human Resources) is responsible for managing the employee lifecycle, including recruitment, onboarding, training, performance management, employee relations, and workplace culture.(Examples:Screening CVs, interviewing candidates, managing payroll, benefits, and leave tracking.)

Admin (Administration) handles the daily operational needs of the business, managing office supplies, facilities, vendor contracts, legal compliance, and general office logistics to ensure smooth, uninterrupted workflows.(Examples:Ordering office stationery, maintaining Wi-Fi and generators, booking travel and accommodation for staff.)
