“HR isn’t about people’s happiness; it’s about business happiness,” – we heard from one of the speakers on stage. Heads nodded, both in sad agreement and understanding.
Yes, reality shows us that in the business world, priorities lie with business goals first and foremost, meaning profit, coverage, scope, and growth are measured in financial metrics—not in “human” terms.
Many might ask: isn’t HR meant to act as the “balance keeper” and mediator between the interests of people and businesses?
Yes, that’s the goal. But how challenging it is! In many ways, HR professionals are “hostages” of the situation, facing pressure from all sides: founders, business owners, management, and employees on a daily basis. Now imagine a company with 10 offices worldwide and 3,000 employees. Add geopolitics, multicultural and migration issues, workforce instability, budget limits, and the constant demand to “deliver results.
At the HR Synergy Forum 30.10.24 we saw experts gather to support and empower each other by sharing insights, industry knowledge, trends, and best practices. It was true “synergy.”
As the You Inspire team reflected, we realized that for business owners aiming for strategic growth, the first investment should be in supporting HR by providing them with effective tools to fulfil their mission: to become mediators and maintain a balance of “happiness”.
You Inspire is here to help. Investing in employee development programs crafted by You Inspire to meet the specific needs of your people will transform your business from just a source of income to a centre for professional growth and social impact.
