Hello,
Glad to see you fairly relieved.
Being "a management HR" or being "a peoples HR" is to surrender to "partisan role" which personally or professionally I will NOT play!
As HRs our loyalty hierarchy should be:
1) The Profession
2) The Organization and
3) The Boss/s.
Another thing, HR, I strongly believe, is Value based function. It is the function of the Conscience-keepers to the organization. It is committed to serve and uphold the Organization's interests.
I am aware that it is the management that "employs" me as HR, it is the Management that decides my "pay & perks", and offers me "enrichment and growth" opportunities by providing me the platform to manifest my skills to help both realise their respective aspirations.
Therefore, if an organization employees me as HR and expects me fulfill its partisan interests (if necessary at the cost of the people) beyond a point that my morality decides, it may be time for me to QUIT!!!
So, when I join and organization as HR, after my initial assessment, if I realise that I have to "educate and enlighten" the management in being respectful and magnanimous of peoples' aspirations I evolve an appropriate plan of action and start to work. Likewise in respect of the People that organization employees.
I know that I will NOT succeed everytime and I will certainly be able to upgrade the sensitivities and sensibilites of both parties so as to learn to live with disagreement/s and to proactively look for "win-win" solutions without adversely affecting the organizational goals!
