Creating
A Strategic Human Resources Organization presents the results
from phase two of an important study of the human resources functions
in large corporations. It shows how changes in the business environment
and strategy of corporations are leading to changes in the human
resources function and what practices lead to an effective HR
organization.
The
study focuses on company practices and the design of the human
resource function. Outsourcing, the use of information technology,
and shared services are among the many approaches studied. When
practice is examined, there is clear evidence that change is happening;
the design and activities of human resources departments are changing
in order to become business partners and to add increased value.
A comparison between data gathered in 1995 and 1998 shows a significant
increase in the use of outsourcing and new organization designs
by the HR function.
This
report on the future direction and role of the human resources
function:
- shows
how the human resources function in leading companies is being
altered in order to allow it to be more of a strategic business
partner.

HR organization
- provides
suggestions and direction to companies interested in increasing
the effectiveness of the human resources organization.
