Why Has H.R. Been So Misunderstood
For More Than A Century?
For More Than A Century?
by Nick Ashton, CEO/CTO, CommSmart Global Group of Companies
What is it with Boards,
C-Suite, C-Level, CEOs, Department Heads, Employees and the H.R. Management
Team?
Simple, they have no idea
what an H.R. department is really for and their existing talent within!
Human Resources was invented at
the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, for those that have no idea when or
what that is, Google it!
What’s your response when you
are asked, “What’s your corporation’s biggest asset?”
If the reply is not, “my employees,” then, human resources
needs to play a larger role within your business. Most likely, you need an
experienced chief human resources officer on your executive management team or
even invite the existing head of H.R. to the table and let them explain, uninterrupted
what they see as their role of them for the corporation.
Human resources is rarely or
even appreciated for providing thoughtful and substantial leadership. Instead,
most companies hire a senior HR professional to report to the chief operating
officer or the chief financial officer,
trivializing the profession into a function rather than an all-encompassing
discipline, integral to incubating corporate success.
Open the door and let them
sit and the adult’s table and not with the children as is done at Thanksgiving
and Christmas in the family household!
They have so much to offer!
Once that happens and for
your shareholders and customer’s sake it better, extremely quickly, as they can
introduce them to a socially accepted H.R. Solution for you to understand.
The ‘passions, competencies,
hard and soft skill sets’ of your invested talent capital and where the next
moves are for your Key Battlefields
for the corporation.
Until then, you are
completely ignorant of what you already possess as a successful growth factor
for all. Underutilization is a major
cost factor and H.R. will bring you the missing elements, increasing
profits. Stop looking at H.R. in a
negative manner!
They are not step-children, they are a major asset and
use them as such!
The C-Suite must respect how
human resources contributes their companies’ growth and productivity, but it
seems that they view human resources as a non revenue producing function limited
to personnel management. That is if, in
the first place they understand what Human Resources can achieve once at the
table.
H.R. belongs in the C-suite
not only for their role in managing companies’ critical asset, its talent pool,
but also because they make the C-suite team more effective.
H.R. supports and focus
the team as a cohesive unit and by doing so, support the CEO’s mission and with
their skills in organizational psychology, can arguably better manage, setting
it all in perspective.
This why CommSmart Global and our proven H.R.
solution, ZoooMeee, is used in
Europe, not only as a successful corporate H.R. tool, but as the unemployment
solution for a nation, reducing the welfare roll by leaps and bounds. It is a reversal of fortune, it brings the
vacancies to the job seeker. It is a socially acceptable H.R. tool, which is
all the information right in front of your eyes for all to understand.
It is about pure consideration
from all sides. The corporate Key Battlefields,
the inner talent capital and what is required for the future. Yes, planning with all understanding the
goals and aspirations.
It is how this will CHANGE it
ALL, that is what we do as a professional global organization that brings that
fresh green field aroma to you, your company, shareholders and importantly your
clients/customers.
