?? Only two-fifths (41%) of HR professionals under the age of 54 believe they have a satisfactory work/life balance, according to a new interesting research published by Ciphr using data ?? from a survey of 300 HR professionals employed at UK organizations, conducted between 5-12 February 2024.?

Researchers have identified several positive aspects of HR professionals' engagement within their companies. Conversely, they have also uncovered concerning findings regarding the negative aspects of their HR work:
?? The majority (64%) of HR professionals report finding their work fulfilling and engaging most or all of the time.

?More than one in four HR professionals, or 28%, report considering leaving their jobs frequently or almost always.
? HR employees who seldom or never feel valued and appreciated for their work, representing 11% of all respondents, are most inclined to contemplate leaving their jobs. Conversely, those who are not overworked and those content with their salary are least likely to consider departing.
? HR is often misunderstood by their organizations.
Researchers reveals that a significant proportion of HR professionals don’t think that HR is fully appreciated or understood by their organizations.
Alarmingly, almost one in five HR professionals (18%) hold the belief that their HR team lacks the genuine authority to implement change within their organization.
?? ???? ???????????????? ????????:
This interesting study uncovers an engagement problem within HR departments, leading to considerable frustration. It is worrisome that nearly twenty percent of HR professionals feel their teams lack the authority to drive change in their organizations, highlighting the substantial work that lies ahead for CHROs and CEOs alike.
As many HR experts emphasize, HR is a multifaceted profession, continually evolving with the various disruptions in business, such as the pandemic and now AI. HR is a challenging field, requiring individuals with true passion to drive change within their organizations.

3 个月Nicolas BEHBAHANI - I am in alignment with your comments below. I shared my perspective in the following article. The way to drown out the dominance of the stereotypes is to keep repeating a different and more accurate narrative.

3 个月Valuable insights! HR professionals, who are the champions of employee engagement, development, and well-being, often find themselves overlooked in these very areas. The fact that they are struggling with engagement and retention issues—despite being expected to model best practices—suggests a deeper systemic problem within organizations.Here, the research highlighted HR professionals' unhappiness, which likely points to broader issues related to leadership, culture, and employee support systems across the organization. Interestingly, the higher satisfaction levels among HR professionals in education may indicate that sectors with a strong focus on development and societal impact naturally provide environments more aligned with the values and motivations of HR professionals. Thank you for sharing!

3 个月I see a large section of HR Business Partners in India to be specific, that are burning out. A large part of the reason is the way this role is structured here. A lot of the Specialist roles that should be hired for separately (employee engagement/ L & D, Talent Acquisition, Comp & Ben, Internal Mobility, etc) are being foisted on small and scarce HRBP teams leading to a disconnect/ disenchantment with the role overall, low engagement & major burnout.
