Respect for HR

Umer Bhutta Chartered MCIPD

I am copy and pasting a tweet from a person here, date and time is mentioned and has #HR i have taken off his name. 

"Why do you think #HR lacks respect in most orgs?
6:06 PM · Aug 5, 2020·"
NOW my question at this forum is the same, with little addition. What do you think why HR lacks respect in organizations and if it is really the case at all.? and What HR can do to lift that respect?

  • Like Keith and Umer, I've never felt that HR lacks respect in places where I've worked. But I *have* interviewed for jobs where I have felt that the people interviewing me didn't appreciate that HR was a value-adding function and saw it as a mix of box-ticking and hand-holding.

    So if HR lacks respect in an organization, I suspect that because the organization (a) doesn't understand what HR can provide to it as a bottom-line contributor, and (b) has therefore recruited people who lack the credibility to change that perception.
