I don't know
I've only actually once given them a proper HR problem to handle, which they promptly bottled and left me to handle. So I'm generalising as usual.

That's a shame.
There's loads of free HR advice out there, ACAS are really good.

I know, but .... that's what they are bloody for.
Otherwise, I might as well not bother. Except I have to follow all their rules for recruiting. See "I'm not allowed to interview someone that I alone am employing with my own funds because I haven't been on the HR 'interviewing people' course.

You are nice though, and focus on the 'human' part of 'human resources'

Yes I am nice. As long as people don't take the piss. Even then they get a chance to hit the undo button.

Ive come to the conclusion that HR are mainly aces.

We do our best.
The trick is to be trusted by both employers and employees and be known by both to do the right thing.
