The Past
Years ago when you mentioned the term HR – people rarely knew what you were referring to. Human Resources was not a widely known term and to a certain extent, Human Resource professionals were still working through all the details too! The experts knew there was a need for this type of expertise, but defining it and then being able to bring credibility to the profession and educating the public on the value of HR was the next step. Years of research and dedicated work went into the defining the role of an HR professional and building the credibility and value of HR as a resource.
The Present
It would be very rare to encounter someone who is not familiar with what an HR professional is. HR professionals hold certifications and companies have realized the value of the profession and the value of a dedicated resource – be it an employee or HR consultant for their company. Companies are requiring HR candidates to be pursuing or to hold a CHRP. Most management teams include HR and those that don’t are considered “behind the times”.
The Future
The profession will continue to grow with more educated and certified professionals having a seat at the boardroom table. The value of an HR resource will become even more obvious and companies will be viewed at as incomplete without an HR resource.
The profession is growing. For those familiar with HR, the value to a company, their people, morale, and their bottom line, is obvious.
If you don’t have HR on your team, you are missing out on a strategic partner, most likely have legal gaps within your business and you are taking a huge business risk.
Close that gap, reduce the risk and bring HR into your business.
