5 Reasons Employees Don't Trust HR

from Don't Talk To HR · host Amy H-R

Connect with and hire Amy HR https://www.amyhr.com 64% of employees say they've had a bad experience with HR. When two career HR leaders surveyed their combined 20,000 LinkedIn followers and interviewed CEOs, board members, investors, and executives, the results came back at a 3.1 out of 5. That's a C-minus for an entire profession. In this episode, Amy and Neeru break down the five themes that kept coming up:  A lack of trust, empathy, and confidentiality.  Too much focus on paperwork and policies.  A gap in business acumen that's costing HR its credibility.  A system that doesn't set HR professionals up to succeed.  No clear value proposition, which is leading some executives to ask whether HR should exist at all. They also share the story of a company that hired consultants to run "anonymous" employee feedback sessions, recorded every word, and played the highlights for management. People were disciplined for speaking up. Nobody talked again. These are HR nightmares that should NOT be happening and this show is here to change the HR landscape in favor of the people.
