Human resources is often a thankless job. Aside from the first day on the job, most employees don’t interact with HR unless there is a problem, so few people realize how important they are.
Management is praised for their visionary ideas, sales people are congratulated for landing new accounts, and designers are cheered for their creativity, meanwhile, quietly, behind the scenes, the HR team is busy making sure the office hums along smoothly. They are the ones who make sure you’re paid on time. They make sure your deductions are correct and that you have health insurance. They help you navigate your career path, select appropriate training and education, and they work tirelessly to resolve employee conflicts.
Human resources personnel can make or break a company because they play such a vital role in employee recruiting and retention. When you hire the right employees and keep them on board, you can accomplish great things, but if your company operates with a revolving door, it will struggle and eventually collapse.
So we’ve compiled a list of over 100 of the top human resources leaders on Twitter. These are the thought leaders, experts, and mentors of the HR industry who can help keep you at the top of your game.
If you’re in HR, or if you’re just someone who appreciates the work they do and knows how important they are to the rest of us, please share this post on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
