15 Reasons We Literally Couldn’t Live Without HR

In the spirit of Labor Day – a holiday dedicated to the labor movement that honors the social and economic achievements of American workers – we at CareerBuilder are taking the opportunity to thank those in human resources for all you do. You’re the people behind the people: The champions of labor. You make a tremendous impact not only on the workforce as a whole, but also on the lives of individuals and their families, by providing them with jobs. You’re the engine that drives the success of businesses everywhere and stocks them with the best talent. In short, businesses literally couldn’t run without you.

Here are 15 reasons we’re thankful for all of the amazing HR people in our lives:
