The Essential Role of HR?!<\/h2>\n

HR is “often ineffective, incompetent, and costly.” (Dave Ulrich, HBR , Jan-Feb 1998). And, I am being an HR professional, would sadly agree with Ulrich, as the HR in many organizations are so as stated. This is mainly due to two reasons, we’ll go into more details about them in this article, taking into consideration that I’m concentrating on the HR in the MENA region, out of my work experience as an employee and then as a consultant. The first reason is due to the managerial illiteracy of the organization’s manager (the owner). The other reason is due to the incompetency of the HR department as a whole, and the HR Manager.<\/p>\n

Don’t take my words wrong in agreeing with Ulrich about the HR in general, it is not generalized to all HR; In fact, getting to the point the whole organization is or becomes a professional entity<\/span> is the sole job of the HR. Yes, that much is the importance of the HR function. But, I’m saying this due to those two reasons, and out of many frustrations of vast work experience.<\/p>\n

THE PROBLEM of the comprehension of the idea of “The Essential Role of HR.”<\/b><\/h2>\n

The issue of managerial illiteracy of the business manager, where more often is the owner, is being faced in many organizations. I don’t mean that all family business owners are illiterate, nor I mean that all family businesses are a managerial failure. I’m saying, the long debate that HR is solely conceived as administrative work, for documentation, taking attendance, for preparing residences and visas, or managing the travel arrangements of the employees, is solely due to managerial illiteracy.<\/p>\n

Such illiteracy would arise problems or incidents of cases as (which actually happened, and I myself witnessed):<\/p>\n
