About this listen

👻 Do you really have HR — or just Ghost HR?


In this eye-opening episode of The HR Verdict Podcast, our host, exposes the silent crisis haunting modern organizations: Ghost HR Syndrome.

It’s what happens when companies claim to “have HR,” but the role is buried under Finance or Operations — invisible when it matters most.


💼 HR isn’t just paperwork, onboarding, or payroll. It’s strategy. It’s risk mitigation. It’s culture. And when it’s treated like an afterthought, people risk becomes the main character.


🎯 In this episode, Renee breaks down:

  • What “Ghost HR Syndrome” looks like inside organizations
  • How disguised or under-resourced HR quietly drives compliance risk and turnover
  • Why the smartest leaders give HR equal footing with Finance and Operations
  • How to spot the warning signs — and rebuild a real people strategy

💬 Whether you’re an HR professional, executive, or small business owner, this episode will make you rethink how your organization values its people function.


🎙️ Because when HR is invisible, risk isn’t.
