Hi Chowdary,
Generalist HR covers recruitment, comp & benefits, Training & development, performance appraisal, Employee welfare, Industrial Laws etc. It covers entire gamut of HR & Administration.

Hi All,
The word 'Executive' is used for entry level or may be with experience of 2-3 years in India, but in the rest of the world 'Executive' is used for mostly top management.
When you say the difference between HR Generalist & Executive HR, it is company specific. Normally, HR generalist is a general term used for somebody covering major aspects of the HR. For ex: somebody who is handling recruitments would be called as a 'Recruiter', but a generalist is just a role or function. The designation would be Executive HR or Administrator HR or Officer HR etc. depending on the company and their designation structure.
Hope this would be fine.
Thanks & Regards,

Well, the difference is that the Executive is the one who has the role of execution. So, whatever the manager asks him/her to do, he/she executes (as the name itself suggests and the hierarchical level goes).
A Manager is the person who has the power to manage and put the resources to use in the correct way and time, whereas his assistant is there to help him in all possible ways. Hence, the manager may be the person with a specialized stream of HR like HR Recruitment Manager, HR T&D Manager, HR Talent Acquisition Manager, etc.
Now, coming to Generalist, this profile has a hand in the entire HR gamut, where it may start from recruitment and cover administration, legal compliances, strategic HRM, Performance Management, etc. The HR Officer is synonymous with the HR Generalist but widely used in PSUs as they have a defined hierarchy under the Govt. guidelines.
Hope this explanation clarifies the differences well. Thank you. Kindly add to my knowledge as well if any corrections are required.
