For many of us who work in and are passionate
about HR, it could be frustrating to constantly
defend the importance of what we do. Some people
believe that the role of HR is nothing more than
to ensure payrolls submission and maintain
important employee details. In this article,
weve explored some commonplace myths that we
encounter regarding HR. The realities behind
these myths may help you form a totally different
perspective on HR.

Anyone can become a HR

• HR job is not an easy job and requires a lot of
  in-depth training
• HR activities are based on research and theory
• HR professionals are required to master both
  practice and theory before they can devise
  strategic policies for a company

4
HR is full of fads

• HR practices have evolved after rigorous research
  and experimentation, over a time
• Every HR professional handles his/her current
  work as part of a evolutionary chain

5
HR people are always diplomatic

• The role of HR involves dealing with people at
  various levels of authority, conveying good and
  bad news, maintaining decorum in the office
• To ensure that communication takes place
  harmoniously, there is a need to communicate
  differently with different people

6
HR can make my performance review good

• Many employees still believe that the HR can help
  them in enhancing their performance reviews, but
  the reality is far different
• The HR is in no position to change the ratings
  given by your manager in accordance with your
  performance

7
HRs hardly have any work

• Arguably, if we may say so, HRs have the most
  demanding work in a company
• Dealing with people, day in and day out, across
  backgrounds, skills, aspirations etc. is no easy
  task
• HR handles a variety of duties requiring careful
  attention and dedication

8
HR can increase my salary

• This is one of the most popular misbeliefs held
  by many among employees and job seekers
• Though it is true that compensation ranges are
  fixed by the HR depending on the type of roles
• But the actual pay received by employees is
  dependent on performance ratings

9
Other Vertical Employees cannot join HR

• Junior roles in HR, such as recruiter, can be
  filled with people from Customer Services and
  Admin Support as the roles share a few common
  features
• At the senior level, joinees are likely to come
  from consultancy or operations roles

10
HRs can be replaced by automation software

• Automated Recruitment Management System is there
  to reduce the burden of HRs
• But the key differentiator is the human judgment
  required to hire the best employee
• Companies should now focus on making HRs more
  tech savvy to increase their productivity
