GET RID of your HR department in three easy steps! #startups #google #tech
00:00:00.000 | There is no company where I have majority control where I have an HR department, you
00:00:04.020 | should go to a very respected lawyer at a third party firm, someone very visible so
00:00:08.680 | that you have an escape valve.
00:00:10.500 | If there are any kind of serious issues that need to be escalated, the team should build
00:00:14.980 | their own benefits package that they want.
00:00:17.080 | Then when it comes to hiring the person for whom that person will end up working for,
00:00:22.080 | it's the head of engineering, it's the head of sales, those are the people that should
00:00:25.340 | be running the hiring processes.
00:00:27.600 | When you strip all of these jobs away, HR doesn't have a role.
00:00:30.920 | And what is left over is the very dark part of HR in most organizations, which is the
00:00:34.680 | police person, what is Saks called the commissar.
00:00:37.680 | That is why everybody hates HR.
00:00:39.720 | They are this conflict creating entity inside of an organization that slows organizations
00:00:44.680 | down.
00:00:45.680 | It's not required.
00:00:46.680 | And I think people are realizing like, why would you create this large bureaucracy in
00:00:49.760 | the company that undercuts the meritocracy that adds a lot of costs, and that slows you
00:00:54.920 | down?
