Welcome to Season 4! Over the next few weeks, we'll be diving into the rich topic of Human Resources: what it is, how it should be functioning, the history, the pitfalls, stereotypes, successes, and more.
Inside the Episode:
The History of HR:
- Origins of HR: The concept of Human Resources (HR) can be traced back to the early 20th century.
- Industrial Revolution: The rise of factories and large-scale production created a need for more structured workforce management. This period saw the beginning of formal HR practices, including employee welfare programs and labor rights.
- Connections with Unions: HR departments began to work closely with unions to negotiate contracts, resolve disputes, and ensure compliance with labor laws.
- Post-World War II: This era marked a significant shift that emphasized the psychological and social aspects of work.
- Shifting tide & Stereotypes: "HR is not your friend" This sentiment has become a popular punchline as HR departments are perceived as protecting the interest of the company over anything or anyone else.
