HR is often seen as an expense rather than an investment in small businesses. Another misconception is that HR is only about recruitment, neglecting its vital role in employee development, engagement, and compliance. This mindset can hinder growth and lead to legal issues.
I totally agree. The last organization I worked at, HR was just incorporated into the Finance Department and seemed to be an after thought. There was an obvious lack of expertise and focus, and it was reflected in the negative work culture.
@Harman, I could not agree more!
HR is the behind the scenes work that, when it’s working, goes unnoticed, but when it’s not working, is very apparent. I agree with Harman, and it should be seen as an investment because everything will run smoother if there is a better, consistent system to handle the HR needs of the organization, no matter how small.
I love this phrase “When it’s working, goes unnoticed, but when it’s not working, is very apparent.” Thanks, Denise!
