Question: Is the word “human resources” an old fashioned and ignorant term.?
Well…humans aren’t resources are we? We’re creative and social individuals with feelings.
Making all your employees feel like they belong to you and they are not themselves during that time can’t be good for morale can it?
Misslabeled do you work in HR?

www.ClearedJobs.Net. What’s the worst mistake most people make when they start a job search? Think for a moment about your own job searches and you probably have the answer. I asked this question recently at the ASTD international conference presentation that I was doing, and I got some great answers. All parts of that puzzle. But the answer is most people rush in to their job search. They dash out their resume. They start telling everybody they need a job before they have stopped to really think. What do I want to do next? What am I most successful doing? What environment do I want to work in? And it is that homework, that self-assessment, and that research that then makes you able to do a great job search because you can prove what kind of value you offer to specific employers who might be interested in you in places where you can succeed. So the worst mistake is not to take time to prepare. Yes you need a job. Yes you probably are really anxious to get going. But stop first. Give yourself that time to really think about what is the next place, that I want to work in. That I know I can succeed in because I’m going to use my best talents. If you do that you will be ahead of 90% of the job seekers out there.

A company is an entity that utilizes it’s assets or resources to function. Everything takes time and money. You will hear business jargon, for “We can’t afford it” is now typically stated in terms like: “We just don’t have the resources”.

The other finite resources can be raw materials, space/facility or most of the time: the necessary manpower or talent available, or Human Resources.

HR will continue to be critical in especially the US economy as there is a growing shortage of qualified people to meet the demand for highly skilled positions.

The Human Resource function is generally responsible for making sure the company’s most valuable asset is effectively recruited and retained.
