An external feature highlighting Zaiton’s perspective on HR’s strategic role
I’m grateful to BambooHR for the opportunity to share my perspective on HR’s evolving role in protecting both employees and organizations.
I shared with them stories from my experience across multiple organizations and industries over 25+ years of HR leadership.
Whether in oil and gas, banking, insurance, or hospitality, the challenges are strikingly similar:
HR being treated as an “order taker” instead of a strategic partner
Leaders unintentionally slowing down HR processes for 'control'
The silent cost of attrition when employee voices aren’t heard
My intent was to spotlight these universal lessons and how HR can step up as a guardian of culture, compliance, and business sustainability.
I believe that when HR has the courage to challenge constructively, organizations thrive. This is a call to elevate the profession and strengthen its impact.
