The Human Resources department should be fired.
Not the people in the department. Let’s keep the people, but let’s fire the department.
Let’s fire the HR department and hire a Human Being department.
Because our people are not resources. They’re the reason for the work we do, the vision we hold, and the impact we strive to make. They are the dreams, ideas, and potentialities that propel us forward.
With a Human Being department, we recognize that our organization is a living, breathing entity that thrives on the interplay of human creativity, empathy, and ambition. Once we recognize it, we can start living it.
Let’s let the AI and the machines be the resources. They’re better at being resources anyway.
Our humans aren’t a resource. They are the point.
