Many people don't understand what HR actually is and the role it plays in a business. That's why they underestimate it.
This is very true from the research that it takes to finding a great candidate that fits personality, education, dealing benefits, turn over, research that goes into background check, Payroll, reports, onboarding, and so much more
HR is definitely underestimated in many companies.

The most challenging aspect is that we are not the decision-makers, yet we are often perceived as the ones at fault
The answer starts with how do you, your boss and company define HR and the expectations of the role and you. If you survey 100 companies, you’d likely receive 100+ various responses. There are companies where HR recruits period. Other organizations where HR is primarily administrative. To be optimally effective, HR must thoroughly understand the business, who its clients are, and what keeps them up at night. And how can HR work with them as partners to solve problems through their effective use of people. What resources do they need with what skills now and for the future. Like other functions, HR needs to demonstrate the value they provide. And never stop educating the organization on what you do and don’t do, and the value you and HR brings to the organization. You know the value. Do they?
The challenges of an HR role become more apparent when you compare it to the demands faced by sales, marketing, procurement, operations, finance, and other departments. Each function within an organization has its unique complexities, and understanding these can foster greater appreciation and collaboration across all teams.
