A recent survey by Sage has found that many HR professionals view the term ‘human resources’ as outdated. Around three quarters of the respondents agreed that the term no longer accurately represents the nature of their role and a more accurate description would be ‘People and Culture’. Eszter Lanto’s (Head of People at TCC Global) view is that people should be viewed as individuals with their own challenges and values as opposed to only resources.
The survey also found that the majority of respondents agreed that over the past five years the role of a HR professional has changed dramatically, with a third envisioning that it will continue to evolve in the next 5 years to come.
