The HR looks after the rapport of the company. They look after the well-being of the company and the people that make the company. But who looks after HR? 

Human Resource professionals play a very essential role in the working of any company or an organization. They are the ones there with the employees, right from recruiting them to even firing them. They have it on their shoulders to make the majority of important decisions for the company. Not just that, inculcating fun and innovative ideas for a better work experience for the employees is their court too. Anyone can get a bit overwhelmed by carrying out such massive and important tasks. This is why I present to you, blogs HR professionals must read. It is in the company guidelines and everything, go check.

This is the ultimate manual to being a HR. I want to say, ‘That’s it.’ and move on to the next one. But I will tell you a little more about it.

When I say it is a manual to being an HR, I do mean it. One of the main focuses of this blog is to maintain a peaceful and friendly work life for the employees. It helps HR deal with challenges, trivial and tough, both.

Ask A Manager

Ask A Manager, and if you don’t, I’ll tell you anyway.

Nice.

Ask A Manager is a blog run by Alison Green. Ask her anything. No, not melody itni chocolatey kyu hoti hai? No. Wait, I will tell you what exactly this is by quoting Alison herself!

‘I am not a perfect manager. I’ve made lots and lots of mistakes, which I’ve then dwelled on obsessively, and I definitely don’t have all the answers. What I do here is try to offer insight into how managers and interviewers think, and use that to help you navigate workplace weirdnesses. So if you’re not sure what the hell your manager is thinking, or how to ask for a raise, or whether you might be in danger of getting fired, or what to do if a coworker keeps stealing your lunch…ask away.’

See? Simple. Although this blog isn’t entirely HR-centered, you will definitely find some good advice to shape yourself to be a better HR professional, anyway. I’m not even kidding, there are so, so, so many different topics here: ‘being the boss,’, ‘rejections,’ ‘job offers,’ ‘happy endings’ and everything! Super fun and informative blog, for sure.

 

That’s it, then. Go be the best HR professional you can possibly be. Start your own blog then. All the best!
