Hey humans, this is Stacie Baird and welcome to the HX Podcast! Yesterday was International HR Day, and to honor our amazing friends in HR, the next few episodes will be dedicated to you. As someone deeply entrenched in this space, alongside my team, I want to reflect on where we've been, what we've achieved, and offer you some valuable insights to help you carve out space for yourself in your demanding roles.
In this episode, we'll explore the challenges of working in HR. Why does it sometimes feel so difficult? I explore the concept of paradox, where two opposing truths can coexist, such as being both pro-employer and pro-employee. After 20+ years in HR, I've realized that our role involves navigating these competing truths to find a balanced path that benefits both the organization and its people.
We also touch on the negative perceptions of HR, especially on platforms like TikTok, where the sentiment often suggests that HR can't be trusted. I believe it's up to us to change this narrative by approaching our work with both organizational and human-centric perspectives. By being the voice that humanizes business decisions, especially with the advent of AI, we can create a more positive and productive work environment.
As we conclude Mental Health Month, I'm emphasizing the importance of self-compassion. I'll guide you through practical steps to incorporate self-compassion into your daily routine, starting with simple techniques like box breathing and myofascial release. These practices are essential for managing stress and building resilience, ensuring we show up as our best selves for our colleagues and loved ones.
Join me over the next few weeks as I share more strategies to support your well-being. Remember, taking just a minute for yourself can make a world of difference. With light and love, I wish you a powerful and self-compassionate week. See you next time on the HX Podcast!
