HR Challenges According to Darcell
The biggest challenge that HR is facing is people. The climate of the world has change drastically, people are coming to work with a heavy burden, and HR is not equipped to handle issues such as depression, anxiety, work ethic, and ghosting. Trying to navigate people is the hardest challenge and striking the balance between empathy and accountability. The root of it are generational issues in hiring between Millennials and Gen Zers. Gen X-ers are driven by ego; through their title and money, while Gen Z’s and Millennials are more curious about the culture, work environment, and moving up the ladder quickly. There’s a complacency and the attractiveness of becoming instantaneously wealthy and attractive through social media and a watered-down career of their views on career and success.
