HR myths

A lighthearted one for you all...

We've been recruiting a lot recently and a colleague in sales stated, "If we get more people in, you'll have to get a disabled person soon". He was under the impression that companies of a certain size MUST hire people with a disability. After pointing out that was totally untrue, we also had a positive conversation about disability is more than using a wheelchair...

What comments have you heard relating to HR that are totally not true?

Fake news? Fiction? Fantasy?

Parents
  • That we can provide training personally in anything people related because we are experts

    And if there are any problems at all, HR deal with them all. Daft quarrel with a colleague? Tell HR, they are the Office Parents and will sort it out for you.

    We make the decisions to dismiss.

    I often say to people in here that if I has as much power as they thought I had, I'd be running the business.
