Now, it's not that I don't want people to have fun at work or be fulfilled by the job they perform. I honestly think that most of the corporate world has no idea what HR does, and to be honest, I don't think they really care to know what we do. I'm sick of HR getting all the crap jobs that no one else in the company would ever be asked to do, and I'm really tired of preaching proper procedure and continually having to clean up the messes of our ignorant supervisors and managers. I've decided that I am going to make it my duty to explain to all that will listen, and some that won't, what HR is really about and what it is that we do all day. Now, I know what you're thinking, and you're right.
HR is a very diverse field and extremely hard to define.
The definition has to be simple and to the point. It has to give examples of what we are and what we aren't. It has to be crisp and concise. It has to fit on a card or in a small frame behind your desk. What HR needs is a Creed - something we can recite on command and gets straight to the point.
