Deep dives
The Evolution of HR
The journey of Human Resources has seen significant transformation from its origins in the late 1800s, when it focused on personnel management and employee supply during war times, to its current strategic role within organizations. Early HR was primarily concerned with hygiene factors, ensuring employees were adequately paid and safe. Over the decades, the integration of psychology into HR practices shifted the focus towards understanding employee behavior and organizational structure, particularly during the 1980s and 1990s. This evolution highlights the need for HR professionals to adapt to changing workplace dynamics and embrace a more strategic, business-oriented approach to their roles.
