Actually, no. Between them, these two departments handle everything from recruitment to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/change-management-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">change management<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While related, we\u2019ll see that both of them provide different business solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Human Resources vs. Organizational Development: How Different Are They?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Human Resources (HR) is the department that manages employment processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They handle a variety of functions related to employment, employee engagement, training, and separation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way of looking at it is to think of HR as the \u201cmanager\u201d of employment processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This department handles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hiring<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Onboarding<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Firing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Recruitment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employment-related governmental compliance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Organizational Development (OD), on the other hand, fosters <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/5-types-of-organizational-change\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">organizational change<\/a>, growth, and development initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of its organizational duties, its job is to ensure that the organization makes progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since companies are dynamic and ever-changing, OD is very important. It is a permanent function in many businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OD is often in charge of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Change management and leadership<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Professional development<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Team development<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Talent management and development<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To name just a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OD may be included within HR or it may be a department of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOrganization development\u201d is a similar-sounding term, but it\u2019s also a bit different. It refers to the design and changing of an organization itself. This field focuses on macro-level organization changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OD, however, is concerned with bottom-up development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like HR, it works with individual people, teams, and departments. It often implements and manages organization-wide changes that are ongoing business processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we can see, HR and OD aren\u2019t exactly the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The functions of the two departments are connected \u2014 and often support one another \u2014 but the duties are clearly distinct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, even large organizations can blur the lines between HR and OD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some companies assign OD duties to HR personnel. Some place the OD department within HR. And some have separate HR and OD departments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Match Made in Heaven? Or Somewhere Else?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some professionals are happy to blur the lines and take on both HR and OD work. But is it the right thing to do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some feel that there could be risks to too much overlap. After all, the HR mindset is managerial in nature, while OD is more interested in extending boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain tasks are more suited to HR, such as professional development. Other tasks, such as change management tasks, fall under OD\u2019s umbrella. While others, such as training, could be a coin toss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s look at a few OD tasks that may fall outside the scope of HR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HR and OD: A Peek Under the Hood<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are just a few of the business functions mentioned earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By examining some of them in detail, we can get a better idea of where OD and HR differ and where they cover the same ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Professional Development<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Professional Development is typically an HR function that supports OD. It is focused on providing individuals and teams with career development skills. This helps employees grow, but, insofar as employees continue at the company, it helps organizational growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Continuing Employee Education<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Skills Development<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Software Training<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Certifications and Career Education<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These functions are often handled by HR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But because they \u201cdevelop\u201d an organization and help employees make progress, it can be considered as OD support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For many smaller firms, this function is included as part of HR. Larger firms may have a separate department within HR or include it as a separate department altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Change Management and Leadership<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/glossary\/change-leadership\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Change leadership<\/a> is required when businesses undergo transition, transformation, realignment, or cultural change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please include attribution to gothamCulture.com with this graphic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/The-Iceberg-of-culture_666a8a73.jpg\" alt=\"The Iceberg of culture\" class=\"wp-image-18344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/The-Iceberg-of-culture_666a8a73.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/The-Iceberg-of-culture_666a8a73.jpg?resize=220,300 220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>infographic source: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/gothamculture.com\/2015\/04\/30\/iceberg-organizational-culture-change-infographic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><em>gothamculture<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since change management\u2019s purpose is developing and transforming an entire organization, it is almost always directed by business leaders and change leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These positions often call upon HR, OD, or both to implement change procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with every other business function mentioned here, the scale of the organization often dictates which department is responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Larger companies, for instance, may have dedicated change management departments. Smaller organizations may delegate change responsibilities to other departments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Employee Onboarding<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Employee hiring, onboarding, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/4-training-methods-part-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">training<\/a> are often handled by HR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The onboarding process includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Training<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Orientation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Acclimation and Integration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/glossary\/employee-onboarding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Onboarding<\/a> occurs when new employees are hired, transferred, or when major changes take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A similar term, \u201cuser onboarding,\u201d is used for software orientation and training. This is distinct, but occurs frequently in today\u2019s digital workplace. HR may work with IT to handle this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOffboarding\u201d is the opposite of onboarding \u2014 when an employee leaves a company, HR handles the separation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>HR is responsible, in this case, for helping the employee share expertise as they leave the company. HR also assists with any paperwork, documentation, severance packages, and other termination procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion: HR and OD, Two Peas in a Pod<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After close examination, it is clear that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/first-100-days-digital-transformation-in-enterprise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">human resources<\/a> and organizational development perform different functions within an organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both roles overlap and support other business processes, ranging from employment processes to change management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each department is critical when it comes to employee engagement, workforce development, and business development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Human Resources vs. Organizational Development \u2014 are these two terms for the same thing?
