Very often the Germans throw in a "-politisch" at the end of a word - just 'cause it sounds so wunderbar.
"arbeitspolitische Felder" could be translated as "working areas" or "work-related areas".
Or perhaps just left out entirely in this case (since everything that follows is obviously work-related).

: I'd leave out this unnecessary qualifier - it's clear from context that the guy worked in the HR dept., "covering the areas/fields of..." (I'd just use "fields" or "areas" here).

Thanks, Steffen. Yes! When in doubt, leave it out! Actually, there's little doubt here: "Arbeitspolitisch" is indeed a superfluous bit of linguistic flotsam.

Comment: "Thanks, Paul. I was very tempted to leave it out, but in the end will go with 'work-related'."
