Not understanding the role of HR

Craig

Afternoon everyone,

I still find it incredibly frustrating that still a large majority of People (mostly Managers) find HR people are their to be 'pink and fluffy' or provide administrative support. This is not just in my local area however across the organisations. 

Do you still find these issues in your organisation? How do you combat it? What's your biggest tips?

P.s i hope each and every one of you has an incredible Christmas and a happy New Year!

Best regards,

Craig

    I'm lucky to lead HR from a position on the top table - that helps a great deal. If you are not as lucky then try these:

    - talk strategy and tactical planning with the senior team, not just respond to crises.
    - get involved in non-HR business activities (operations, IT, marketing and especially finance)
    - work at longer term business solutions - be proactive
    - in strategic developments, make HR a forethought, not an afterthought - be at the centre, not the edge
    - as Peter says, don't do pink and fluffy
    - get line managers to do the admin!
