Myths that keep HR as profession
Old Myths• People go into HR because they
like people.
• Anyone can do HR.
New RealitiesHR departments are not designed to provide corporate therapy or to act as social or health-and-happiness retreats. HR professionals must create the practices that make employees more competitive, not more comfortable.
HR activities are based on theory and research. HR professionals must master both theory and practice.

business and therefore is not accountable.
• HR focuses on costs, which must be controlled.
• HR’s job is to be the policy police and the health-and-happiness patrol.

New Realities• The impact of HR practices on business
results can and must be measured. HR professionals must learn to translate their work into financial performance.
• HR practices must create value by increasing the intellectual capital within the firm. HR professionals must add value, not only reduce costs.
• The HR function does not own compliance.
• HR practices have evolved over time. HR professionals must see their current work as part of an evolutionary chain and explain their work with less jargon and more authority.
