Hi Devi,
"Head HR" or "HR head" means he/she is the most senior person in the HR department. If there is a Deputy Manager/Assistant Manager/Junior Manager, then certainly there should be an HR Manager or other senior HR personnel. So how can they be in the same cadre?

The concept of a department head is independent of the designation otherwise used. Whether the post is equivalent to, higher, or lower than other managerial positions depends on how many people work there, the relevance or criticality of the HR function, etc.
However, in general, the head of HR will mostly be at the GM or DGM level. In some cases, they may be at the VP level, but then the position should be called VP of HR.

Head of HR is a director level role. hence a decision maker and custodian of the highest level. What did you want to understand through the HR Org Structure ?

Hello,
The following statement should clarify the issue!
"ANYONE WHO IS ASKED TO "HEAD" THE HR FUNCTION MAY BE DESIGNATED "HEAD-HR" but in terms of protocol of hierarchy and levels of responsibilities and designations, even a Deputy Manager could be a "Head-HR" whether it is a designation formally assigned by the organization or not! Normally, the Head-HR is a designation more relevant to "corporate" level and has a span of responsibility right across the organization, whereas the Deputy Manager, etc., designations are more specific to the level in the hierarchy, level of responsibilities/accountability, and indicate a position at a location and as a "part" of the HR function/activity at the location!
In another dimension, there can be many Deputy Managers, but there shall be only a unitary position of "Head-HR" and that should highlight the significance of the designation in comparison with other designations and by itself!
When not enough thought is devoted to the relevance of the subject, new, fanciful designations are created and assigned. These could be quite misleading to the reality of the job profile assigned to an individual. And it does not happen only in HR; it's a phenomenon across the organizations irrespective of technology, culture, or nature of the organization!
In choosing designations that are appropriate to the reality in terms of the level in the hierarchy, job profile, extent of authority, and accountability, you have to take the call and make up your mind. I am happy to see your concern and would suggest that you think rationally and make a decision.
Good luck!

HR - Head is the role of personnel within the organization. Dy. Manager/Asst. Manager is the designation within the organization. The role and designation of the HR personnel depend on the organizational requirement.
