Goodbye HR, hello people

The people who make up a company are so much more than a resource. They are its ideas; its creativity; its ambition; and its potential. They are its values and culture. They are one of the company’s biggest assets for growth commercially. More than anything, they are people with different motivations, mindsets, passions and interests.

So why do we still call the department responsible for its people human resources? And why is a company’s biggest asset for growth – its people – only seen as the responsibility of that one team?
