Volatility, unpredictability and disorder is the order of the proceedings when one looks at business today. This hyper changing environment that brings chaos in our work environments is overshadowed by the fact that one needs to be at peak performance levels to survive. While all professions and professionals add their fair share of competency to the business, there is no question that HR professionals have had a mammoth task during the past two Years.
While in 2008 companies expanded and HR fought for talent, 2009 was about retrenchment and maintenance with minimum expectations. Rarely do we applaud the efforts of the HR team for their efforts. Motivating without pay increases, increasing the talent pool with lower salaries, developing skills with meager budgets, helping and managing with projects they have never encountered before like mergers and acquisitions (repatriation issues), stress levels and work ethics are yet to be maintained and be the employer of choice. The List goes on - yet 'Innovation" of processes almost borders "invention' when one looks at the economics of the matrix our HR professionals have challenged and won. Conventional wisdom says that human resources finally has achieved its sought-after seat at the table. It's a Hot seat - but it's about time!
The Hot Seat!! - The Balancing act!! The HR team is more than we think they are to our business. Now's the time to recognize this fact and award them for their efforts.
