To a company, Humans Are Resources, period. Hence the name "Human Resources". More to the point, a Human Resource professional is only doing a good job with respect to the company if he/she only sees "Humans As Resources". The main job of HR is Hiring and Firing, and the more exposure one has to employees, the harder this is to do.
