As we get ready to head to the annual Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) conference (Booth #1267), we wanted to take a moment and get a closer look at what it has been like to work in HR over the past few years as the folks in Human Resources have been on the front lines and have had to make some hard calls as companies looked to weather the economic downtown. As an HR professional, your job revolves around how company strategies and policies effect individuals in the workplace from entry-level employees to senior executives. While HR professionals maintain a focus on the company and the workforce instead of their personal happiness, we were curious to see if there had been a shift in the “on-the-job satisfaction” for employees in this industry since the recession hit.
Glassdoor turned to the hundreds of reviews left by HR professionals to get an insiders perspective on the industry. The report shows that there have definitely been some discouraging moments, however, things seem to be picking up: people in the HR industry are reporting greater job satisfaction lately – is this a trend we’ll continue to see?
