Why Does HR Often Feel Overlooked Despite Its Role in Shaping Company Policies?

Hi all, why is the HR department always sidelined and given minimal importance, especially when all the policies and procedures are incorporated by the HR department? Employee satisfaction is crucial at every level. When the department, which is meant to overcome employees' differences and problems, is itself not satisfied, how can anyone expect a satisfied organization?

The Role and Perception of the HR Department

The HR Department should never be sidelined unless it tries to interfere unnecessarily and assert its authority inappropriately. At that point, it begins to lose its importance and value. Reflect on the history of your organization when it began losing its significance; you will likely find instances where HR may have attempted to override the authority of others.

It all rests on the HR personnel to ensure whether the department is the most respected or the most detested and neglected, based on their actions, contributions, and advice provided to their superiors and employees.
