Introduction

Dear all readers,

This blog fits well with all readers who are willing to read, think, reflect, learn and then share with other people. It is only by sharing, we will retain our knowledge better and improve our understanding on the subject matters.

I would also like to dedicate this blog to all HR practitioners out there. Doesn't matter, what your specializations are; be it HR services, recruitment, IR, performance management, or succession management, this is for you!

This blog will post resources on HR and leadership that are posted anywhere in the web space. The main objective is sharing. I hope that in the process, readers can share their thoughts and experience for others to learn. I aspire that this blog will be "the place for discourse" for all HR practitioners out there and when that happens, it will be my absolute pleasure!

    Other than managing people expectations that are varies widely, I think another challenge will be overcoming own mindset that says HR is just day-to-day personnel administration. A lot more organisations have now regarded HR as a partner. So, it is now up to HR practitioners to rise to the occassion. Interestingly, this will be a new reality of HR role and also a challenge to HR community.

  5. If I can give an indicative measures on the new reality of HR role amongst HR community i.e. HR as day-to-day = 70%, HR as strategic partner 30%...my justification is many view HR as process/policy centered and not really providing solution to business, refer to HR evolution i.e. Personnel, HR, HRM, Human Capital..bla..bla..It's really challenging but i believe out there we also has success story of positioning HR as Business Strategic Partner, sure you have guys & if you don't mind sharing...mredza.h

    Yup u r correct. Providing solutions to business are challenging but I believe are doable. I hope this blog can be used as a platform for discourse on how that can be (or have been) done.
