Dear All,
I want to have your views on the subject. I have recently been promoted to Officer (Personnel). I requested the company's HR to designate me as Manager (HR). The pay scale is the same for both designations; the only difference is the name (even the responsibilities are the same).
In the company, some employees have been recruited as Managers and some as Officers in the same pay scale. It doesn't matter much for the company, but it matters to me.
Kindly let me know the difference between a Manager and Officer in the present industry. Your views are invited.
Kind regards,
Priyanka

Well, a manager is a manager, and an officer is an officer. You are drawing a salary equivalent to a manager and still don't know the difference between a manager and an officer. Even I don't know, but I only know a manager is a manager, and an officer is an officer.

I am working in a limited company as an Officer HRD, actually looking after the whole HR & IR activities of the limited company as well as sister organizations too, meaning I am the Officer - HRD for two organizations. Now, I have gone through the company's Competency Skills where I found that an Officer in the company is equivalent to a Supervisor.
Designation progression: Trainee -> Assistant -> Jr. Officer -> Officer -> Sr. Officer -> Executive -> Asst. Manager -> Manager -> ....
While in the other organization, they designate PGDHR/MLW/MBA_HR as Executive-.... So, I am facing the same problem.

Internationally, the difference between an Officer and Manager is the level of authority, the amount of supervision/guidance required, and level of skill/expertise. A Manager would normally have a higher level of authority, need less supervision and guidance, and have more demonstrated skills in their industry.
I am not sure why your organization has placed the salary levels equal for the two levels; possibly an officer in one department (Personnel) is receiving the same salary as a Manager in HR. Also, you may want to look closer at the difference between "Personnel" and "HR," and the difference between the two roles you are comparing. Hope this helps. JB

Officer means one who has power and authority, such as leave sanctioning, appointing, or any other authority given by top management. The difference between an officer and a manager is that an officer can be at the level of Assistant Manager, Deputy Manager, or full Manager. This means it can be at any level depending upon the powers given by the company. For example, in the police force, even a Sub-Inspector is considered an officer, and so are the Superintendent of Police (S.P.), Deputy Inspector General (DIG), Inspector General (I.G.), and Director General of Police. The distinction lies in their authority, powers, and jurisdiction. It's not necessary that an officer must be a manager; they may hold a lower rank. In my organization, I have an officer (HR) who is positioned between an Assistant Manager and a Senior Executive (HR).
