Understanding the Role of HR
There is a significant misunderstanding regarding the true purpose of HR within organizations, leading to a perception that HR holds excessive power. HR is increasingly seen as a vital component in shaping company culture and addressing employee needs, rather than a mere administrative function. This misunderstood role could create feelings of threat among other departments, prompting a need for a cultural shift to promote shared ownership of HR functions across the organization. Building an understanding of HR as an evidence-based profession will strengthen its credibility and clarify its value in fostering employee wellbeing and organizational success.
