Imagined with DALL-E

Is it time for HR to leave the corporate nest to genuinely put people first?

Why “human” resources must step outside companies to truly serve humans

“Capital is dead labor, which, vampire-like, lives only by sucking living labor, and lives the more, the more labor it sucks.” — Karl Marx.

What if HR departments worked on behalf of employees? What would that look like? What would relationships with HR be? Futuristic? Perhaps. This hypothetical shift, I believe, could lead to several possible futures, including such aspirational benefits like:

• Increased retention and satisfaction: Employees who feel supported and valued by advocate-oriented HR are likely to experience higher satisfaction and retention.
• Cultural and societal shift in business practices: Over time, this model could lead to a global shift toward more human-centric business practices.
• Rebalanced power dynamics: Enhanced HR support for employees could lead to more democratic governance within companies and a shift in traditional power structures.

Wake up Neo! This is not our reality.
