What is HR Professional Day?
Human Resource Professional Day is celebrated annually on September 26 and is designed to pay tribute to individuals working in HR departments around the world. In celebration of the day, we’d like to recognize and celebrate HR professionals, as they play an integral role in ensuring organizational success.
The role of human resources has evolved, and today, HR professionals seemingly do it all. The profession is one to applaud (and we’re not just saying that because of our rockstar HR teams here at FrankCrum).
Beyond recruiting and onboarding, payroll processing, and benefits administration, HR professionals serve as leaders of change. They are nurturers and developers of human capital, risk management specialists, and employee retention experts. They’re Employee Appreciation Day planners and morale boosters, but they’re responsible for the uncomfortable aspects of people management as well, such as handling HR violations, workplace misconduct incidents, and employee terminations. Talk about being well-rounded!
