HR Isn’t Just Support Anymore. It’s Running the Show Behind the Scenes
More than ever, HR is a vital part of an organization that bursts silos in every department, aligning people strategy with business strategy to make gains in productivity that extend way past the norm. Why? HR is far more than reactive in the form of administration for the successful organization. Instead it intakes strategy set out by management and delivers ex*****on of that strategy. Remember that in business (and in life for that matter) the devil is in the details. Powerful HR departments know this and make sure that people are a strong part of the success chain.
Think HR is admin? Try scaling without it.
Most companies think HR is a support function — policies, hiring, compliance, and employee experience. In high-growth organizations, however, that definition has evolved into something far more central to how work gets done.
In a recent conversation with Cierra Olson, head of people operations at DOOR, a different reality emerged. HR is not just a support function. It is the enablement layer of the organization. When it fails to operate that way, strategy doesn’t fail in theory. It fails in ex*****on.
