Dear Seniors,
It has been observed that in most of the organisations the HR department is treated like only for clerical operations. How an individual aspirant from HR field accept this.
Kindly share your insights/ experiences on this

Dear Phani,
There is a famous say in this world " CHANGE IS THE ONLY CONSTANT". so is in HR department.
In this era of globalised and digitalised economy companies are forced to think "BETTER, FASTER, and CHEAPER" as their mantra.
Role of HR in earlier days is more or less like and accountant. An accountant used to keep tarack of the money where as HR was kepping track of people.
Slowly the role of HR is being changed to Managing the talent than managing the records.
But with all said and done Business can not be done through machines alone it needs people and people needs to be takken care. Role of HR will not get obsolete but for sure it will get rre defined.
So Do not worry about the changing trends... Look around and look for opportunity to learn new thing in managing people.
Best wishes

Dear Phani
