Is this a problem for HR?

Your relationship with the HR team often ends after your first week at a new job. They give you your tax and payroll forms, explain your benefits, send you off with an employee handbook—and that’s it. But maybe you treat HR personnel as your confidants and coaches? You go to them at the first sign of trouble at work or approach them for coaching about your career.

"Knowing When To Involve HR" explores the function of HR and identifies when you should and shouldn't go to HR. You get clarity on who HR people are, what role they play in a company, and what situations warrant a visit to the HR department. You'll also get best practices for approaching HR with a problem.
