They are both alright, but with a subtle difference in nuance, provided you put an article before HR department. It depends on whether you are thinking of manager is a title or role, if a title no article, if a role then an article, but you will in reality hear both used interchangeably. But as I said, an article is definitely needed before HR department

The article is necessary. The first sentence is correct; the second is not.
