HR at Work: The Corporate Frog Balancer

We often call the HR department the “Heart” of an organization.
But here’s the uncomfortable truth- when that heart starts feeling tired, stressed, or unappreciated, it’s like the corporate equivalent of a mild cardiac arrest.
Dangerous. Alarming. And in urgent need of intervention.

The irony?
HR spends most of its time keeping your work life healthy, resolving conflicts, building culture, ensuring salaries hit accounts on time.
But when they start feeling unhappy, the whole organization starts showing symptoms.

Think about it…
HR sits between management and employees its  like being stuck between two passengers fighting over the armrest on a long flight.
They have to enforce policies and champion employee well-being , which often means pleasing no one completely.

From recruitment to payroll, from wellness initiatives to legal compliance , HR is expected to be part lawyer, part therapist, part magician.
Yet resources, budgets, and genuine support rarely match these expectations.

Soon, instability in HR leads to instability everywhere  just like a heart problem weakens the whole body.

So here’s my question to you:
What’s the ONE change that could make HR feel respected in your company?
