Human resources shouldn’t even be called human resources. It’s an outdated term, and there are so many things wrong with it. First off, humans are not resources. They are team members and people who work hard. Second, managing people is not all “HR” does. It also helps build and promote the culture, creates employer branding, and so on.
As we see more start-ups fail because they had trouble finding the right talent, it’s crucial that this department understand what its true role is. It’s also important for CEOs to understand and support HR team members as more than just people who hire new employees.
