A blog about HR, (it’s not the holiday session Mike and we would rather be following the Holiday Route sign, as above. HR you’re not talking about Human Resources, or its more affectionate name…Human Remains!!) What’s happened to you!
Indeed, I am, I have had the privilege of working in the field of HR (Human Resources) for over thirty years, yes, I know I don’t look a day over 21. During this time, I have seen the huge benefit and difference that this makes in companies, carried out with the correct implementation, and ensuring that individuals are treated fairly and consistently.
I know there is talk of AI eventually replacing everything, however, HR to me is the fabric that holds the thread of organisations, challenging people, and leaders to do the right thing. Yes, we can get tied up in red tape and polices, like polices on how to operate the pedal bin, with 17 points, that no-one can understand or fathom out, written by people in Ivor offices, with no understanding of HR on the front line.
To me it’s the common-sense approach to each case that I’m dealing with, what is the right approach and yes, I’m not quenching the Employment Law legislation that governs employer and employee relationships, including trade union, and their understanding and boundaries we work with.
I’m thankful that the antiquated leaders I once worked with……. I have left behind, as they would not survive in today’s modern world with their bully tactics, discriminating and favouring one person against another.
As my mind reflects back to those moments, I’m thankful that they are not on constant repeat (or on shuffle mode within my music play list) in my memory dragging me backwards.
HR is like the Holiday Route sign, pointing companies and individuals in the right direction, ensuring that the people that work in it are looked after and cared for.
Let’s not forget the correct building blocks that HR can add to organisations and personalities, like each new dawn that I awaken too (in HR) be a day that I make a difference in someone’s life for the better!
