what's your sign?

This month I had the great pleasure hearing Pamela J Green speak on the topic of HR as a Profit Center at the TCHRA Fall Cornerstone Event.  She asked a couple of interesting questions:

“Do you practice value-centered HR?” (business value, not company values)
“What is your return on expectation?”
“What does your HR sign say?” 
As recently as last week a local leader added HR and Legal as an afterthought when talking about his company.  “I always forget about those people.”  Pretty depressing.   Unfortunately, many business leaders still stereotype HR with these signs:

These signs make me think of an old black and white movie with “Personnel Department” on the office door.  The best professionals – HR or otherwise – bring value whether they work in leadership, production, administrative roles or quality.  The role is what you make of it.  Your contribution is unique.

Fortunately, most signs are now digital.  The actions we take each day, the behaviors we will or will not tolerate, what we read, and how we contribute to the business make a difference.  We can each change our sign.  Whatever you choose to be, be bright!
