He added, having HR and finance as one function is irresponsible and foolhardy.
Companies that have a dedicated HR professional to manage all people matters undoubtedly have a competitive advantage over those who have their Head of Finance trying to juggle both roles. Creating a people-first culture means having a designated department where employees can turn to when they need help, support, and guidance. Without a designated HR person, employees feel unsupported and not sure where to turn to for help.
As the workplace evolves and the new generation of workers takes over, more unique situations are bound to arise causing more gray areas for HR to decipher. For this reason, it’s crucial to have a dedicated people-focused professional that advocates for effective policies, employee development, and creating a safe space for all workers. For finance professionals, who operate in a more cut and dry approach, it’s an undertaking having to switch between multiple demands of two different functions.
When it comes to HR, nothing is ever what it seems and there are a lot of gray areas.
