While the true purpose of HR is being questioned and the use of software technologies are rising, HR professionals need to take advantage of the situation by reaffirming a stronger, more-comprehensive HR structure. Technologies and dashboards will never replace a HR person when it comes to managing the core concepts of competencies, compliance, team productivity and employee happiness.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”20″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css_animation=””][vc_column width=”5/12″][vc_single_image image=”20983″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”7/12″][vc_column_text]

A total success as 90% of Airbnb employees say they would recommend working for the company.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMITXMrrVQU” el_width=”90″ align=”center”][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”5″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]
