HR is Also an Employee Over coffee the other day, a few friends and I found ourselves discussing work, life, and the various roles we play in our professional lives. One point really stood out—HR professionals often get seen as the “gatekeepers” of an organization, but let’s not forget something fundamental: HR is also an employee. Being in HR means balancing both sides—managing organizational needs while also being part of the same ecosystem. We feel the same pressures, deadlines, and expectations as anyone else. We celebrate wins, handle setbacks, and navigate office dynamics. But there’s an added layer: the responsibility to support others through their own challenges. In these conversations, it became clear that empathy is key. Understanding that the person sitting across from you in HR is dealing with the same work-life balance challenges can foster a more collaborative relationship. HR professionals aren’t just the people who handle performance reviews or facilitate tough conversations; we’re employees too, with shared goals, challenges, and aspirations. So next time you're speaking with HR, remember we’re in this together. We’re navigating the same waters, and our aim is to create an environment where everyone, including ourselves, can thrive. #hr #humanresourceprofessions #humanresource #talentacquisition #hrlife
