Re: IT people aren't often people people

In most companies I have worked for that is not the job of HR. HR are there to protect the company from employees, and specifically to prevent the company from being sued by employees for breaching employment legislation. For example, discrimination is fine as long as it is not based on any protected characteristics. Diversity only has to be based on protected characteristics too, getting a tattooed biker into the HR team isn't seen as adding diversity in the same way as getting someone with a protected characteristic in.
