Why are HR positions primarily held by women?

[Hoodoo Child]

He's right

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

Women dominating HR, admin assistants and nursing is an artifact of patriarchy
As time goes on and we see women increasingly get more access to other higher positions we will see more diversity in those positions that were once traditionally held by women. We already seeing this with nursing, the other two lag behind because of pay most likely

Good answer
Never thought of it that way

Human Resources is a cheat code you could go from to HR assistant to Program Manager if you put that work in and network. It’s just the entry level jobs are the lower end of the salary scale.

I work in HR because I like the investigate part of it, but also because I actually give a damn about people.

Women and gay dudes gravitate to HR because it let's them know everybody's personal business. It's like being a professional gossip.

They know what you make, where you live, how many kids you have, which employees are fukkin, who has a weed card, who got arrested last weekend, they know if alimony/garnishments/ child support is coming from your check....and they get paid to sit around and talk about it.

....and that's also the reason there is so much drama in HR....it's all women and they always throwing shade at each other....

Nah I don’t think we need to be up in there

“I tried to tell Mr Martin to stop, but he just kept undoing my blouse”

“Then…what did he do”

“My breast came out of my shirt. I was so uncomfortable”

“We’re you wearing a bra?”

“No sir, it was laundry day and I was in a hurry to get to work”

“So he saw your bare breast? Did he…touch them I mean you?”

“Yes, he grabbed my breasts”

“H…h…how did he grab them, did he cup them? Was is soft or aggressive?”

“He…he…it was…”

“Dammit we’re trying to solve this investigation, now walk me through this slowly. Let’s go back to when he gently caressed your left buttocks”

Because they love drama.

Same with executive assistants. This position is a cheat code to climb the ladder in many companies and it’s mostly women who occupy them

Yup every ea at my job is a woman and their salary is great and have a direct line to executives.

I dont like the investigation part because I get to know everyone business. I like the employee relations investigations. Interviewing people, witnesses, getting facts and putting together the truth and whatever disciplinary action may happen as a result. People lie like they in a first 48 homicide room.

HR is a gossip positon hence why women and gays occupy it. Certify my insurance bih...

 

[KFBF]

HR got nothing to do with bedside manner. And for anyone who ends up interacting with them just know...they aren't on your side. They're on the side of the corporation. Doesn't make them bad people, but you have to keep that in mind or else you can get railroaded fast.

The other responses in this thread make me think the majority of people here don’t really know what HR does.

Women love to control resources. Also if you work HR you have a shot ar being an executive. I noticed the trends of women who make it to C LEVEL roles because they know policy, compliance, and accounting.

 

[Controversy]

Ppl in this thread don't know what they're talking about

HR is not just employee/staff relations

There's also recruitment, talent management, data governance/audit, payroll, etc...

If you have a background in Finance or Operations, it's helpful to talk the HR language bc most major areas are siloed and breaking down the barriers will help you get ahead
