HR Manager - Human Resources Manager.
If the person's name is Mr Roger, then it should be Mr Roger's office. If the person's name is Mr Rogers (which is more likely) then personally I would write 'Mr Rogers's office' but there is a trend towards writiing names/words that end in s as s' when adding a possessive apostrophe. Compare both common forms: Jesus' hands Jesus's hands _________________ Cheers m' dears! |

It depends on who you present them to, but generally, yes. _________________ Cheers m' dears! |

Some scholars would accept the first version and the second version as correct. Some scholars would only accept the second version as strictly correct. It is possible that yet others would accept only the first version as correct.
Outside academic circles, the majority of people would accept either. _________________ Cheers m' dears! |
