We don’t need HR.

Truth: You won’t know you need HR until you need HR! One common example is when a manager tackles a poor performance issue without HR advice. Miscommunication and poor planning can result in an unfavorable outcome such as a harassment complaint, or worse, a lawsuit. 

HR is all about paperwork.

Truth: HR is a necessary component in the organization’s pursuit to build the best performing team. They help manage talent, and are an invaluable partner in creating a productive workplace. Their collaboration with business leaders can result in effective talent planning for today and the future.

HR only cares about corporate interests, not employees.

Truth: An organization is only as good as its people! HR is all about ensuring employee well-being and furthering business goals. Solid HR guidance is critical to enable successful leadership practices and improve employee engagement.

HR plays a crucial role in addressing various workplace challenges that can impact the overall performance and culture of an organization.
