As HR professionals, we’re often called on to settle employee disputes. Everything from colleague conflict, unfair dismissal claims, payroll discrepancies, and miscommunication – the role of HR has evolved into something between a teacher, a mediator, a fixer, and a therapist.
Since the pandemic, senior leadership has really woken up to the necessity of a fully functioning HR department. Issues which were once thought of a ‘nice to have’ are now deemed essential – meaning HR leaders are busier than ever before.
For 71% of HR professionals, 2020 has been the most stressful year in their career – according to research from Reward Gateway.
What’s more, 51% of HR practitioners are looking to move jobs – due to a lack of appreciation and recognition from senior leadership.
There’s no denying that COVID-19 has wreaked havoc amongst the HR sector – forcing many leaders to work longer, harder, often totally unmanageable hours.
