Some call it 'Hardly Required', while others prefer 'Harassing Resource'. Some take it as HIGHLY RISKY but I Suppose it's HIGHLY RESPECTED.
All HR Professionals, please read and take it seriously. It's a blame on us, and it's nothing wrong; we have created our image in this way.
What are we talking about?
HR = once known as 'Human Resources'. With changing times, the Human got lost somewhere, and the Resources are no longer accessible. We've all had rather unpleasant experiences (99% of the time) with this species that every company hires to bring some method to madness.

My people in my company, my people, and trust now is the stage where we deserve. We are a strategic partner here. I ask you, who disrespects them? There are rarest of rare cases where top management does not know the value of HR and its link with productivity. I feel sorry for such management and their employees.
Thanks

Dear HR Fraternity,
Whatever you do in your Company/Establishment, as an HR professional in any capacity, whether you are a big President (HR) or a small HR assistant, it is a thankless job.
The Management at last treats you like an Outside Trade Union Leader and joins hands with other department fellows to HARASS HR (High Risk) personnel. We have to deal with all kinds of human beings in the Company (especially in a Factory) who are victimized and may ultimately meet the fate of Mr. Joy (VP-HR) of Coimbatore.
When you ask other department fellows what they deal with, they handle Accounts Fellows (who work with Computer Tally), Production (involving raw materials & machines), Marketing Fellows (working with finished products), Quality fellows (responsible for verifying work-in-progress & finished products), and Maintenance Fellows (dealing with Tools, Machines & Electricity) - that's all. All these things behave softly, but not human beings. Everyone in this world has their own opinions, and we have to deal with them regularly. If an accident occurs, we are the first to be answerable to the Inspector of Factories and must rush to the hospital with the employee who did not follow safety rules and got injured.
As HR personnel, we always depend on outsiders' behavior, such as the Canteen Contractor, Manpower Contractor, Transport/Travels Contractor, Government officials like CIF, JCIF, DCIF, IF, EPF fellows, ESI fellows, Div Fire Officer, DD (Health Services), Commissioner (Prohibition & Excise), Controller of Explosives & Joint Controller Explosives, TNPCB fellows, TNEB fellows, Revenue Department fellows, Police, Telephone fellows, Local Political fellows, Panchayat/Panchayat union fellows, JCL, ACL, Advocates, Trade Union outside leaders, and in some Companies, to handle ST, IT & Service tax authorities, etc.
Henceforth, if any of your colleagues or someone calls you and criticizes HR, remember that no other department faces the daily risks to life that we do.
Thanks for patiently reading my outburst.

I fully agree with your opinion and vouch for the elaborate points raised by you for the HR fraternity. All the employees in any establishment behave with HR as if we are nonexistent, and when it comes to saving them for whatever deeds they have done, they come and thank us. It is silly, but we have to be proud of our job and continue to serve employees as Human Resources even though they are Hasselfull Rouges.
We have chosen this profession by our choice, and we have to continue to do our job and not bother about the image others have about us.

Well, all things mentioned in the article are true, but this does not undermine our importance. According to me, HR is an integral part of any organization. We are the best and different from the rest.

Hi Akhilesh,
I went through the article given and at times I truly wonder why HR people are always shown in such a bad light everywhere. Why is there this common perception about HR that they don't work? I remember sometime back someone telling - "that HR in their company are those people who take tea break 5 times in a day and claim that they are trying to figure out the ways towards employee development and engagement while they are busy gossiping".
I seriously don't agree. I am sure most of the HR people are always trying to ensure that employees' concerns are heard and addressed.
