Last week, as often happens, I encountered resistance while checking references on several counselor candidates. One former supervisor left a voice mail along these lines: “I can’t give references; our policy is that you have to go through Human Resources. But if I was allowed to give a reference, I would tell you that he was a top notch employee. He started as a counselor and we promoted him to a team leader. If I was able, I would give him the highest reference. So, here’s the extension to call HR.” I raised my eyebrows and chuckled.
Thinking Creatively About Workplace Issues
HR professionals often find themselves confronted with a constant stream of workplace problems and issues that need to be addressed. Nowadays, workplace issues require a different approach – a more creative and innovative method of doing things. Most of us, however, don’t rise to the challenge. In the face of a changing workplace with new demands, constraints, and competition there is a need for a new type of leadership that demands creative and unique solutions to workplace problems.

The Advantages of HR Staffing | Business Time Management
Why should you use an interim hr professional instead of hiring a full time human resource manager? The most important thing about hiring a temporary staffing agency is the cost savings for your company. Rather than risking a full year's salary on new employees, you only pay for the labor you receive. Using a professional hr staffing agency will reduce your company's expenses. You do not have to pay extra for employee benefits or insurance. You can increase your workload as your company grows.

Dont snigger at the sufferers
HR people read all this stuff and claim to be enlightened about psychology. But it seems to me there is still scant acknowledgement in the modern workplace that people are not machines. There is a chiffon-thin membrane between the functioning members of society on one hand and the howling cotcases on the other.
