Feedback SHRM Connect


This week's SHRM discussion focused around the value that a HR professional can bring an organization, if that professional is able to balance the competing priorities that make up the paradoxes we covered this week. I engaged on a discussion about an organization that was experiencing a transition towards a more active, and knowledgeable, HR department that needs to provide better balance toward achieving strategic objectives. In my initial discussion post, I shared how my organization has made this shift and the value that it has provided. I also shared how our Director of HR positioned herself to become a better resource to senior management, and that it was a process for her to achieve knowledge and respect. I asked the group discussion board if there was one paradox over the other five that their organization seemed to be grappling or struggling with. One individual who also contributed on this thread shared their appreciation for my anecdote, and stated that her company was attempting to achieve what my organization already had with the progress of our HR director. She said that, in their transition, they were currently struggling with the "Business and People" paradox. The reason for this was because their HR director, and department, had longed focused on the people component of this paradox but knew they now had to incorporate a more business-centric focus.
