Hi there,
HR person is for employees - wow i didnt know that, thanks a ton..
You are kind of saying something agains the definition of HR, let me give you a simple and basis class........
HR refers to Human Resource Management, its about managing the Human Capital of an organization, for which an HR department is a specialized function that provides consulting to the line managers in managing the their teams, yes the HR department does offer other services such as emp relations and greivance handling, which are to act as a third party between the line managers and the employees.
Please answer, why shouldnt an HR think about his/ her career goals, even they are employees. HR folks work for the Organization which comprises of management, line managers and the employees - They are not just focused on employees. Employee Relations and Employee Development are just two thier functions.
Regards,
Vivek
