We should do something
After reading you might think that this writer is pessimistic about the profession or his own perspective of current scenario being limited. However, let me share my views on the topic.
It is a common feature that HR fraternity talking ‘we should do something’. Though the intentions are good, HR professionals in companies end up doing administrative activities than really adding any value to business. In turn, they would create some new intervention, which is seen as one more policy by employees, another action for me by managers, and big money drainer activity by business heads. But the activity gets rolled ends a blip in the radar without concrete or measurable results.
HR professionals, looks like, are creating jobs for themselves instead of working towards reducing attrition, develop talent or increase productivity. Even in recruitment, it has become mundane with or without high sounding recruitment techniques.
The talent hired is mediocre or incompetent for the role. We in turn are giving reasons or blaming the organisation or manager or others for lack of support. During interaction with many HR professionals from many other organizations, I found that the HR fraternity itself is a disengaged community. They are either unhappy with role, recognition or ‘unable to do something’.
Again to address some of the issues, the discussions start with ‘we should do something’.
Suggestions, comments welcome.

Hi Vatanbharat...
After going through your opinion here, I really have no idea what you are talking about. If its your opinion that the HR people in organisation are just doing administrative work all the time, then who is doing all the HR related work...The administration department??
DO you really think that all kind of recruitments are done individually by HR department, then again you are at mistake,as the blame for bad hire should not just go to HR because of the involvement of other departments, who are equally responsible for good or bad hire.
Please go through this survey from GREAT PLACES TO WORK, where many Indian companies have participated and have been rated on their HR policies, HR related Initiatives and people oriented policies...and yes none of the points mentioned are of administrative nature....

The responses have been more than expected. Thank you all for that
Few clarifications:
I am firm believer of HR as a profession, HR as a function and HR as a capital.
The point I was trying ot make was that HR professionals, tend to be activity oriented than strategic oriented. It is not that activities are less important. But, business managers, as always, and more so in today's competitive environment, expect Value addition, rather than just activities.
HR Professionals should focus on outcomes rather than just activities.
'Lets do something'....Will this lead to anywhere? your comments pls
