Traditional HR function must change

Article Abstract:

A UK study concludes that traditional human resource (HR) management should adopt a business focus in response to changing employment conditions marked by downsizing and outsourcing. However, in order for such an approach to be successful, non-HR management must accept the value of a business-focused HR function and HR performance must be measured. HR managers need to focus on issues such as strategic planning, benchmarking or similar areas, and should be able to demonstrate the value of their efforts, according to the research study.

However, 25% of the reports did contain information on employee training, development, and related issues.
