Dear All,

In my thought process, it goes like this: Manager - HR... the one who is handling all verticals of HR (in small-scale industries). HR - Manager... maybe we can limit the roles of this manager into any verticals, like recruitment, or payroll, etc., where in the company is very large and possesses different verticals. For example: Manager - Recruitment. Kindly correct me if I am wrong.

Thank you,

Hi,

The person handling only recruitment is Manager - Recruitment or talent acquisition, or Manager - PMS, etc., not Manager - HR. There is no difference; it's how the designation pattern a company follows.

Re: Manager-HR & HR-Manager

Hi yaraguti,

There is no difference between Manager-HR and HR-Manager. This is because, based on designations, we have different wings in a company. From that, only the wing/department name is mentioned first, followed by the designation. For example: HR Assistant, HR Generalist, HR Coordinator, etc.

HR-Manager is a formal designation.

Kind regards,

@Yaraguti (aka Sree), the difference is only in the arrangement of words. If someone named Mr. Sree Yaraguti is mentioned somewhere as Mr. Yaraguti Sree, will it make a huge difference? Understand the logic before posting questions that are typically asked by school kids, not by people in leadership positions.

Dear Friends,

There is definitely a difference; the difference lies in the designation. Whenever there is a designation with "Manager" afterwards, for example, R&D Manager or HR Manager, then in terms of hierarchy, it comes after Assistant HR Manager or Assistant R&D Manager. However, if "Manager" comes before, like Manager R&D, Manager Engineering, then it signifies a higher position, akin to a General Manager (GM).

@tannu Bhatia

Can you explain the sense that you seem to have made from this? If 'HR Manager' is after 'Assistant HR Manager' in designation or hierarchy (take your pick), then pray tell me why don't companies go for 'Sr. Asst. HR Manager'? Because either a person can be an Asst HR Manager TO an HR Manager or Manager HR... Please support the clarification that you provide.

No hard feelings, Shree, but you have done right to ask a question as this is India and in our democracy, we have every right to ask questions, no matter how silly they are. It's my duty as a rightful Indian citizen and having every right to speak. I felt like answering this silly question by wasting my time and educating you that "THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HR-MANAGER & MANAGER-HR." I wrote all these lines because I just want to make you feel how disgusted I am after seeing your posts.

Dear Sree,

Contrary to the popular sentiments here, in my opinion, you have asked a very pertinent question. I request you to go through the following thread as the matter has been discussed in a very 'dispassionate' objective manner: https://www.citehr.com/156044-differ...executive.html Hope you will find your answer. In the future, make it a habit to "SEARCH" CiteHR before posting a query as many such issues have been discussed threadbare earlier. Warm regards.

There is no difference between the two. Both are the same. I think you need to improve on your basics and also English. You do not use the word 'prominent' while talking about differences. Use words like 'subtle,' 'slight,' or 'marginal,' etc. But please work on your English.

• There is no difference between Manager-HR and HR Manager.
• View of some members that Manager-HR is superior to HR Manager is not at all correct and logical.
• I have not come across any organization or company where both kind of designations are used simultaneously.
• Manager-HR kinds of designations are more cotemporary and bring sort of homogeneity, uniform appearance and composition across organization. First part of the designation denoted the position in hierarchy and second part of designation denotes Functional Area. For example:
Vice President- Finance
General Manager-Production
Manager-HR
Supervisor-Quality
Supervisor-Tool Room
• You will also notice that, ‘Finance Vice President’ dose not sound right but ‘Vice President-Finance’ is correct designation and sounds better. Same style can be followed in a company across all designations.

This is a matter of pronunciation; however, people generally do not refer to the Human Resources Manager in full. Hence, when speaking or addressing them, they simply call the person the HR Manager, fitting the words naturally into the flow of conversation. However, when it comes to writing, it is always done as Manager-Human Resources.

Dear Sree,

There is no difference between the two. Manager- HR and HR Manager are one and the same. However, I don't find it a wrong question because it proves that CiteHR is the only platform where one can ask questions related to career freely and without feeling shy about what others may think of you. In a nutshell, CiteHR is updating and enhancing skills and handling queries to polish managers at its best. The best part is having the best mentors and truly expert individuals all in one place to guide you.

Dear Mr./Ms. Purple Haze,

I do not agree with your views on the difference between an HR Manager and a Manager-HR as described by you. Have you encountered any company or organization where two individuals are appointed and designated as HR Manager and Manager-HR, working simultaneously? Your explanation appears to be more of imagination rather than reality.

Thanks & Regards

There is no difference in such a position: HR Manager or Manager HR. However, the difference will be determined when certain specifications are in place, such as Manager-Recruitments, Manager-Training and Development, Manager-Employee Relations, etc.

Hello everyone!

Let's shelve this discussion without any further waste of time and let's grow up and ask mature questions.

Question: What are the qualities required to become a successful HR professional?

Question: What is the difference between Manager Personnel, Manager HR, and Manager HRD?

I have tried to convey my view after consulting with someone who is the President of HR at a reputable company. There is a difference in terms of roles: one is a generalist, and the other has a specific role to play.

With due respect to you and President-HR, and with no offense meant to both of you, I still differ with the views expressed by you.

Please let me know, have you come across any company or organization where both the HR Manager and Manager-HR are occupying respective posts simultaneously?

Will it not be wiser to designate the person with the bigger role and higher authority as Sr. Manager or something like Manager-Corporate HR?

Why create a haze by giving confusing designations? Is it not better to designate a person which will convey his/her position in the hierarchy and function/role in an unambiguous way?

Why will a company or an organization create confusion knowingly by designating two individuals with similar-looking designations but with a big difference in level, role, and responsibility?

The HR Manager is responsible for managing and supervising the personnel department within a company, whereas the Manager-HR guides and manages the overall provision of Human Resources services, policies & programs for the entire company.

In case the example and explanation given by you above are real, then the very first thing Manager-HR, in this example, would do is to change his own designation as Sr. Manager or DGM, or at least Manager-Corporate HR to differentiate himself from the HR Manager. After all, he has the mandate to do that (Manager-HR guides and manages the overall provision of Human Resources services, policies & programs for the entire company).

Thanks & Regards

Friends, I feel there is a difference between Manager - HR and HR Manager. As we all know in HR, there are different verticals like Recruitment, Generalist, Compensation & Benefits, payroll, etc.

Manager- HR is one of the Managers in the HR Dept. who is handling and is responsible for any one of the specific verticals as mentioned above (generally in a large setup).

HR Manager is the one who is responsible for handling all functions/verticals of the HR dept. (in a small setup).

Mr. ravi_michael,

I have query, comment and opinion on your post:
  • You are suggesting that, Manager-HR exists only in ‘generally large set-up’ and there is no HR Manager in ‘large set-up’.
  • Your another suggestion is that, HR Manager exists only in ‘small set-up’.
  • But in reality both the designations are commonly and widely used in both kinds of set-ups.
  • Will it make any difference in case designations are interchanged in examples given by you? As a matter of fact that is a reality.
  • In my opinion, there is no difference between both designations.
Thanks & Regards
