People & Culture: Shape Up or Prepare for a Name Change! (We're Not Kidding)

Is your "People & Culture" department a misnomer? If your employees are drowning in red tape and your culture is more "toxic" than "tonic," it might be time for a serious rebrand. After all, what's the point of a support department that hinders rather than helps those who drive your business forward? It's like serving up a stale baguette when your customers are craving a five-course feast. (And honey, nobody wants a stale baguette.)

Now, before we go any further, let's get something straight. Remember that time you had to fill out seventeen forms just to get a stapler? Or were asked to sign an NDA instead of getting regular check-in meetings or an exit interview when you quit? (Seriously, who needs an exit interview when you've already mentally checked out three months ago?) Yeah, that's not "People & Culture." That's the kind of bureaucratic nonsense that makes employees want to scream into the void (or maybe just into that fish-smelling breakroom).
