Some days it feels like HR is expected to fix everything while having zero authority to change anything. Curious if anyone else is tired of being the “people team” without being given the tools to actually help people?

Any suggestions from fellow HR folks

You definitely are not alone. People really think we have more power than we do. And it doesn't help when the company doesn't exactly set us up for success.

Thanks for being candid

You’re not alone this is a common frustration in HR. Many HR professionals are expected to solve workplace issues, enforce policies, and support employees while lacking the authority to make meaningful changes. It can be exhausting, and it often highlights the gap between HR’s responsibilities and the actual decision-making power they are given.
