There was a time when the presence of a human resources employee in a room spelled bad things for workers – and that scenario often continues to this day, according to one expert.
“I started my career in 2008, which was the big financial crisis,” says Carly Holm, CEO of Humani, in talking with Canadian HR Reporter. “We were known as not the good people to have in the room; it was a bad symbol when HR came in.”
But a lot has changed, she says, and HR has a seat at the business leadership table.
