“HR professionals should view their work not as mere resource management but as a catalyst for personal and professional growth. HR professionals can foster a culture that values and nurtures each employee’s unique abilities. By doing so, they contribute to organizational success and the fulfillment and empowerment of individuals within the workforce.”
"Being the people’s advocate at times means that you have to be the voice of reason. This means that sometimes you will have to take the unpopular stance, and be the one that asks, “what are the implications if we do or don’t do this?”. HR is about treating people fair so they respect you, not about trying to be “liked”."
