In business and industry, the activities within an organization that deal with hiring and preserving workforce are called workforce administration. Only activities that deal with employees on an individual basis, such as hiring and promotion, are included in workforce administration. Activities dealing with organized labor, such as collective bargaining between company management and trade union, fall within the scope of industrial relations and the collective term for workforce activities involving both individual and groups are called workforce relations.

In small enterprises, an owner-operate retail store with only a few clerks, for example – workforce matters and all other management responsibilities are handled by only one person. In somewhat larger concerns – typified by a small manufacturing company with separate production and sales departments – the department heads often exercise authority over the hiring, training, and dismissing of subordinates.

Large companies have separate workforce departments staffed by specially trained workers. The head of this department, a high-level executive usually called the workforce manager or workforce director, is adviser to all management persons on workforce matters, and his department performs workforce administration activities for the entire organization. Except for his subordinates in his own department, the workforce manager has no direct authority over other employees.
