Blame culture and HR

Samantha

I've noticed over the past few months at my current employers that it is so easy to blame HR for any decisions that are not welcomed even if I have no knowledge or even agreed to any decision. I know as a HR professional this is part of the job but I am becoming increasingly frustrated how they abuse HR's good reputation. Just wanted to rant and I know that it's probably more to do with my employers than the work culture in general. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated as I need reassurance that it can't just be happening to me!

  • Sam, it's good to rant. It's a helpful way of letting off frustrations. I am happy to clearly accept accountability or responsibility for decision making, I have broad shoulders and am always happy to have a conversation about the rationale for things. I am a bit like Deborah in that if I had a pound....

    Some people in business quite frankly aren't prepared to step into tricky conversations and like to scapegoat people and functions. It really says more about them that it does about us and I have learned to develop an outer coating that protects me from feeling too disgruntled. It probably is indicative of the culture too.

    I find doing great, clear consistent, proactive communications as part of any planned changes, work HR is doing helps. Being open to feedback on those changes helps me feel to be on the front fit when others would like to say, that's HR.
