HR is not a support area, it is the heart that many continue to ignore

After years touring companies, talking with owners and teams, there is something that is repeated more than we would like to admit: The loneliness of the Human Resources Area.

It is usually a small team, with many responsibilities and little real support. They are asked to lead the cultural transformation, that they manage talent, accompanying the leaders, containing the staff … but without a budget, without time and – sometimes – without place at the table where important decisions are made.

The most expensive paradox of all

It is the most expensive paradox of all: we want organizations with committed teams, inspiring leaders, healthy climate and strong culture; But we continue treating HR as if it were the one organized by the end of the year toast. HR is not an extra. It is not the “soft” area. It is the heart of the culture that you need to build to face the challenges of today and tomorrow.

There is another way, and it’s already happening

There is another way to manage talent and care for those who take care of our companies. Recently, in the Networking Day of Management that we organized from Club Pyxo, we saw something that fills me with optimism: there are companies that are doing things differently.

They shared their best practices without fear: internal leadership programs, boards with Ia to map talents, emotional intelligence workshops, well -being activities that go beyond work. But the most valuable thing was the spirit: collaboration between peers, without filters, without posture. Real people sharing real solutions.

There is an ecosystem that understood that caring for people is not an expense: it is a strategic investment.

The change begins with an uncomfortable question for those who make the decisions: are you giving your HR team the place it deserves? Or do you remain so involved in the day -to -day fires that you do not see that, without solid people management, everything else falls apart?

There are leaders who still think that their competitive advantage is in the machinery, in logistics, in Excel. And that’s finebut in the meantime, their talent is going through the back door because no one listened to it on time.

Every day, we see a truth that we can no longer dodge: talent does not retain, falls in love. If you do not understand that, you will continue to hire to cover holes instead of building future. “The change has already started. You decide if you look at it from the outside … or if you get on to build with those who already understood where the road is going.”
