HR 101: What a "Company" Really Is

I described the Human Resources function as interactivity between Company and Employees, differentiating between management employees and direct employees.

In my world, a "Company" is the sum total of all the people who are employed by it.

Employees are the Company. It's that basic.

Employees who are happy employees generate happy customers. Employees who are treated with respect, managed well and receive a total compensation that is fair and motivating will invariably produce work that will satisfy and keep customers.

It is the charter of the Human Resources employees to insure that the work environment I just described is created and maintained.

Then the interests of the Company and the interests of the employees are one in the same.
