Is HR Really Every Manager's Job? Reflecting on Our Roles and Expectations

We say that like Quality & Safety, HR is every manager's job. It's 100% true. At the same time, the attached article asks us to introspect our own roles' effectiveness versus expectations. It may not be 100% true, but it's definitely a point to ponder!

Sorry, whatever the survey result shows, I won't agree. And also, are they biased-free?

You should not be sorry Sardhar Sahab. You have posted the result of a survey.

We, HR, are poor performers in a survey compared with other functions, but the fact is that HR CANNOT BE COMPARED WITH ANY OTHER FUNCTION. HR is unique in itself, and no one can ignore the importance of an HR person in an organization.

Yeah, sometimes we don't get good responses from top management for implementing new policies, but it doesn't mean that HR is a poor performer and cannot make good decisions. To my mind, HR is the BEST.

So, there is no need to take this survey result that seriously. There are multiple limitations of any survey; it couldn't be 100% accurate.

Respected Sir,

I am a student of Human Resource (currently doing my MBA) and I am proud to say that I am studying a subject which is the pulse of any organization. I went through the report, and if you read the report carefully, there is a comment given which mentions the talent crunch. I would like to say that every survey has its own boundaries and limitations, and we should always think outside the box to see the clear picture. I feel that there is no such thing as talent crunch. People think that talent makes organizations smart. However, I feel organizations make people smart, and this is the true HR challenge. This will be seen in the effectiveness and performance of the organization as a whole. However, these are my personal views.

Hi Mr. Peer Mohamed Sardhar,

Thank you for scanning the article, and in fact, we should thank you for posting the same without apologies. I take this as a wake-up call to improve ourselves! Remember the best company in India - HLL (now HUL) outsourced the HR functions to Accenture. If it was performing well, then this shouldn't have been the case.

Just a poser to all working HR professionals here - How many of you know the top three problems faced by your CEO/MD and your possible solutions to the same.

Rajat
