There are a few workplace topics that are bottomless wells of debate and opinion. Human Resources and what’s wrong with it is one of them. At?Fast Company, we first planted our flag in the debate with a 2005 cover story provocatively titled “Why We Hate HR .” A lot has changed in the last 22 years. That story criticized HR for not attaching the brightest, or most ambitious people. But now, certain departments have evolved to cover the most critical workplace issues including?diversity, equity, and inclusion? goals,?remote and hybrid work policies , evolving attitudes and?demands around benefits , and more. As a result, some?HR teams are attracting creative millennial and Gen Z talent.
In 2017,?Fast Company?writer Liz Segran laid out?expert advice for fixing HR . Two years later Fast Company?contributor and HR expert Lars Schmidt explained how the field of?human resources was undergoing an identity crisis. ?And for the last several years Schmidt has set his?predictions for how human resources will change . This spring, I spoke with Schmidt on?The New Way We Work?podcast about the how the industry is responding to the?fresh workplace demands .

In a tech- and AI-driven future of work, the HR industry is uniquely placed to both make use of new technology and leverage the uniquely human skills needed for hiring, motivating, and retaining employees. (All of these factors explain why the industry is expected to grow by 10% over the next decade.)
While, only a faction of companies that are taking a modern approach to HR and at many companies HR departments remain out of touch with employees needs. It may take a while longer for?HR to shed its not-so-great reputation , the leading "People Teams" are no longer the stodgy out-of-touch departments we identified in 2005.

1 年The evolution of Human Resources, as outlined in your article, is a testament to the dynamic nature of the workplace. From being a department often criticized for not attracting the brightest, HR has evolved to cover critical workplace issues like diversity, equity, inclusion, remote work policies, and more. Yet, the journey is far from over. As we move into a tech- and AI-driven future, HR is uniquely positioned to leverage new technology while also nurturing the distinctly human skills needed for hiring, motivating, and retaining employees. However, the challenge lies in ensuring that HR departments remain in touch with employees' needs. The transformation of HR into "People Teams" is a promising step, but there's still work to be done to fully shed the old reputation. In essence, the future of HR lies in its ability to balance the scales of technology and humanity, to create workplaces that are not just efficient, but also empathetic, inclusive, and conducive to growth. #HumanResources #FutureOfWork #WorkplaceCulture #HRTransformation
