“I would…argue that great HR is a conspiracy to change their organizations,” Modar Bakir, chief HR officer for Al Faisal Holding, writes in Forbes. “In theory, we are the good HR conspirators who design and plan for the benefit of our people and our organizations alike.”
The most important step in becoming a conspirator is for HR professionals to accept that “the first and only rule is there is no single rule in HR,” he notes.
“I came to the conclusion that there is no right or wrong answers in HR, because people management is a combination of science and, most importantly, art,” Bakir writes. “So, we should keep questioning our management approaches every now and then to ensure that our services are fit for purpose, and we should remember that what is good in one business might not be right for another.”
