If there are multiple approval requests user can select all the requestes and click on 'actions on slelected row 'and approve or reject option from the dropdown should be enabled for them.In lower instances it is working fine but in production.

Hi @SanikaK
Approving or rejecting records in bulk like this is not a good practice. It gives the impression that the approver isn’t reviewing or understanding the records and is simply taking action blindly.
If a user has role like approver can do this in list view,
If my response proves useful, please indicate its helpfulness by selecting " Accept as Solution" and " Helpful." This action benefits both the community and me.

Hello @SanikaK
Please check the ACL on sysapproval_approver table for the write operation. Once the role there is given hr should be able to edit in bulk in list view.
Kindly mark my answer as helpful and accept solution if it helped you in anyway,
