Go hire some high performers and rock stars. Oh, and do it quickly. And, cheaply.” I’m not writing this post to say that a recruiter or hiring manager needs to have these skills before they can get involved in the recruiting process.

People Ops: The Impact On Performance Of Investing In Humans (Not Resources)

15Five

Human Resources has been experiencing a shift in recent years, one that’s aiming to re-humanize business. That’s why the title for this department or role in many organizations is switching from “HR” to “People Ops” or “VP of People & Culture.” The historical paradigm of HR has expired, as we can no longer view people as resources that must be maintained, catalogued, and put to use in a way that proves their worth, lest they be replaced. .

Giving constructive feedback, mentoring, training, and improving the performance of their staff should be their number one motivation. Staff members hate them, too. They dislike the fact that managers delay and avoid doing them, and feel they are paternalistic, controlling, and at odds with taking personal initiative and designing your future in a company.
