Many people say HR sucks! I agree! HR is literally a sh*t job that's not for everyone. But let me tell you this... What you see... ❌ HR is a pain in the a** by following strict policies and making life difficult for everyone. ❌ HR is retrenching employees heartlessly. ❌ HR running employee surveys and company activities. ❌ HR asking tough questions and squeezing your salary during interviews. The reality... ✅ HR has a role to play by ensuring that things align with business needs. ✅ The business leaders decide who to retrench. HR merely facilitates the process most of the time with some recommendations. ✅ Behind all the surveys and fun activities are blood, sweat, and tears, where HR has sleepless nights to make sure employees are heard and being taken care of. ✅ HR is an important line of defence to safeguard the organization's interests, ensure fairness, and prevent business leaders from overspending. 💡 HR is not for anyone. I was once a corporate HR professional and am now a big-time advocate for building the profession. My journey to becoming one of the GOATs in HR is still far, but my passion is still burning stronger than ever. To all HR professionals working hard to make things work, Happy HR Professional Day! Thanks for often playing the villain role (I hope more are seen as heroes) and yet still doing your job with so much heart. You guys are the biggest givers in the organization and definitely the best. ❤️ Shall we show our love to this amazing people by having a simple thank you below? ♻️ Repost this and tag your favourite HR people to celebrate their contributions on this special day :) 🔔 Follow Sam Neo to follow his journey to becoming one of the GOATs in HR. #humanresources
