Half of 300 HR decision makers agreed that supporting employees was a key element in enjoying their jobs, according to research by Ciphr.
A further 47% cited hiring new employees and growing the business as their favourite aspect of the job.
Helping to improve workplace productivity and efficiency, and working with nice colleagues, were also important factors for two-fifths of respondents (selected by 40% and 39% respectively).
Other popular aspects of the job included tasks that improve the workplace, like supporting good employment practices and ensuring legal compliance (37%), solving problems (36%), and helping to create a good working culture (34%).
Opinions on HR pay were a bit more mixed.
Only around a quarter (28%) of respondents selected competitive pay or a good salary as one of the main reasons why they like working in HR, ranking it in 16th place.
Job aspects that didn’t quite make the top 15, besides pay, included the variety or versatility of the HR role (28%), transforming business processes (26%), and informing strategic decision-making (25%).
Claire Williams, chief people and operations officer at Ciphr, said: “I truly believe that company performance is a direct reflection of its peoples’ performance.
