Career Talk: Why Choose HR as a Profession?

HR has never been as significant as it is today. Companies want to attract, retain and motivate employees to meet their business goals and strategies. More and more organizations have come to realize that their most important assets are their people.

My 25 years of HR practice made me believe that HR is the best job in the world as there is no other role that gives a person access to all aspects of the business. People are the lifeblood of any organization, thus, I envision HR as one of the topmost careers in the next generation.

As an HR Practitioner, you will enjoy several perks such as…

You’ll be in a position of influence.
Due to the nature of your job you will have a direct hand on employment decisions (i.e. hiring, promotion, termination, etc.). As an HR professional you play a great role in making your company an employer of choice.

You’ll have the chance to improve other people’s lives.
You have a hand in helping those in need: hiring people in need, developing people, designing compensation & benefits programs that give people a chance to advance.

You’ll have some real staying power.
Any kind of organization regardless of size needs human capital management amidst technological advancements. The profession requires intuition, common sense, ethics, and compassion, something technology or any software just can’t effectively match.

You’ll always be in the loop.
You will readily know what’s happening in the company, whether it be events, employee movements and management policies. You may even be tasked to lead most of these activities.

You’ll earn above-average salary
Your work is crucial to your company, so it’s no surprise that you’ll be compensated most appropriately and competitively, if you prove your worth.
