HR myths

Cat Jones

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?

  • That we don't care enough about employees - from employees,
    That we care "too much" about employees - from management,
    That we are the organisations police,
    That we are all very highly paid (I know, I laughed too), and one that's been mentioned before,
    That we have a crystal ball (I'm looking at you, former colleague, when you didn't get your pay because you'd changed your bank account and not told us).
