Why we exist

It is sadly common that employees don’t trust HR in organizations.

Do you trust HR at your company?

HR functions often exist at companies to look after the well-being and interest of employees. However, these functions are also there to protect the interests of the company. So what happens when the interests aren’t aligned? There isn’t always a straightforward answer. The uncertainty of it can put employees in stressful situations, especially if you are caught in the middle. We, at pHRiend, are here to help you make sense of your situation and walk you through what are some likely outcomes.
