HR can either pertain to the people who are ‘directly’ or ‘indirectly’ involved in doing the products/goods and providing services. Those who are directly involved, often called direct labor, includes factory workers, your hairstylist, and the like. Whereas, those who are indirectly involved often called indirect labor, includes the management, administration, and the likes.

But it is not always like that. They can simply be the security guard in a restaurant, a maintenance worker in a factory or the waiter/waitress that serves your food.
