Welcome to the latest episode of the Elephant in the Org where we dive into the often confusing world of HR roles and responsibilities. Have you ever felt like your job title just doesn't align with what you actually do? Well, you're not alone.
In this episode, we explore the complexities and sometimes absurd expectations in HR positions. Why are companies struggling to find what they really need in HR? We discuss the pitfalls of the "jack of all trades, master of none" approach and how expertise in one area doesn't always translate to others. This conundrum often leads organizations down the tricky path of traditional versus non-traditional hiring, searching for that elusive perfect fit.
But there's a light at the end of this confusing tunnel. We delve into the rise of fractional HR experts – a solution providing specialized support without the commitment of a full-time hire.
Also, we talk about how the language we use to describe roles is changing. From 'HR Generalists' to 'People and Culture,' we’re witnessing a paradigm shift. How does this impact job descriptions, hiring, and the overall people experience?
