Answer:Human resources (HR) is the umbrella term used to describe the management and development of employees in an organisation. Ultimately, it’s all about increasing employee performance.

Traditionally, HR focused on hiring, firing and the old-school annual pay review. But more recently HR has been positively reframed and now covers a much wider remit. HR plays a significant role in developing positive business culture and improving employee engagement and productivity. The HR function also takes the lead on employee wellness and personal development.

It can be easy to overlook HR in an SME. Many entrepreneurs get their businesses off to a flying start, but grapple with people management as the business starts to flourish.

Managing staff takes time and it requires specific skills. HR is an area of expertise many business owners lack.

Regardless of skills, the value of HR in business isn’t always immediately apparent. With just a few employees, business leaders feel like they have their finger on the pulse when it comes to the people they hire and manage.

But as a business grows, leaders often find there just isn’t time to deal with day-to-day people management and recruitment and the focus on people can easily get lost. This is a costly mistake and can affect employee satisfaction, culture and long-term success.

Consider the consequences of poor HR. When employees don’t feel supported, aren’t being given opportunities, work long hours, and so on, their motivation to perform is impacted.

Underdeliver on effective HR and you’ll see a knock-on effect on your bottom line. People, culture and business success go hand-in-hand.

Reputation as an employer is influential in attracting talent. It also impacts on customers.

Take Uber as an example; plagued by a string of HR catastrophes from sexual harassment cases to ignoring employee complaints, the resulting bad publicity has undoubtedly deterred many from working there or from using their ride-sharing services. Bad HR has destroyed Uber’s employer brand.

The importance of HR in a pandemic

The coronavirus pandemic has forced us to re-evaluate the way we do business. As part of this, the HR function is taking centre stage. Companies are being increasingly measured by the decisions they’ve taken and the way they treated their staff.

What’s more, the impact of ongoing economic uncertainty, remote working and an all-too-real impact on employees’ mental health are forcing businesses across the UK to place human resources at the heart of their operation.

From supporting managers with remote management skills through to sensitively communicating the consequences of a downturn in business, HR is crucial to the effective management of a business during a pandemic or other significant event.
