What Makes a Great HR Department?

The human resources department has myriad different functions that both the company and its employees need. The human capital of the company is one of its prime investments, so they have to be cared for in a way that allows them to be productive and to flourish as individuals. It’s the HR department’s job to ensure that the employees are properly compensated and are fairly treated while they’re part of the company. In addition to this, HR also evaluates the employees based on their performance to ensure that they’re still on par with the company’s expectations. Lastly, when employees are performing well, the HR department also provides them with opportunities to branch out and step up in the corporate ladder.

A great HR department is one that functions by integrating all other departments forthe greater good of the company. The department has the opportunity to function both an operationally as well strategically and is often the advisor to stakeholders and business heads. HR departments must seize the opportunity of becoming a true HR Business partner through long term foresight and attuning to business requirements raher than being administraively task oriented and shortsighted.

In Addition to what Rahmatullah Khan said, I would ask today's HR world to be loyal and unbiased. Majority of the candidates are suffering due to biased and racist perceptions of HR's. 

 

Not sure if you all agree, but biased and racist perceptions have been a monster eating up lifes and hopes of potential candidates for a long time now.
