HR

For many of us who work in and are passionate

about HR, it could be frustrating to constantly defend

the importance of what we do. Some people believe

that the role of HR is nothing more than to ensure

payrolls submission and maintain important

employee details.

In this article, we’ve explored some commonplace

myths that we encounter regarding HR. The realities

behind these myths may help you form a totally

different perspective on HR.
