The human resources leader sees and hears more than just about anyone in an organization. Hiring? Rest assured, HR is involved in the development of the job description, selection, and onboarding. Leaders have problems; they reach out to HR. Leaders need coaching. HR is coaching them. Employees have issues with leaders, fellow employees, or the culture – HR is engaged. Promotions, developmental moves, performance improvement, investigations, terminations; HR is in the middle of it all.
