Documenting processes in the ISMS

how exactly do the individual ISMS processes need to be mapped? E.g., is it enough to write "HR" or do I have to explain every step of for example the process "managing employees"?

Please note that ISO 27001 does not require "mapping" or documenting of each and every process in the Information Security Management System (ISMS) scope.

For example, the HR process does not need to be documented, but if you decide to write it, you only need to document it in the level necessary for the people using them to perform their jobs correctly and securely.

For example, the documentation detail level for experienced personnel will be much lesser than for novice personnel.
