HR: “No One Understands Us”
By Ron | November 16, 2009
Overheard in a Human Resource Department near you…
Jean: No one understands us.
Stacy: I hear you. The other day, I was talking to our CEO and told her about our new HR transformation project and she looked at me with a blank stare.
Jean: Oh, I know. I tried to explain to her about our new thrust in the talent management diversification process and I got the same reaction.
Stacy: Well, I don’t know how she expects to engage the employees if she doesn’t listen to us. After all how are we expected to implement our Shared Services Program without her support?
Jean: But, Stacy, I’m not sure we need her support or even want it. Just look at her personal brand; I mean what is it anyway?
Stacy: I don’t know. I would like to do some crowd sourcing to find out what they think. Maybe we could show the results to our CEO and get leverage that way.
Jean: Good idea Stacy. In the meantime, why don’t we work on our Peer-Coaching initiative.
Stacy: I thought we HRO’ed that?
Jean: I hate to ask you Stacy, but what does HRO mean?
Stacy: HR outsourcing, silly!
Jean: Oh, I’m sorry. I keep forgetting that we are in the process of transforming our HR function.
Stacy: C’mon Jean. You know it is all about TM.
Jean: Transcendental Meditation?
Stacy: Jean! Talent Management!
Jean: Excuse me. I guess I wasn’t onboarded correctly.
Stacy: No wonder nobody understands us, if you don’t Jean.
