The HR function is continually evolving. More businesses are realigning the role of HR so they can best manage and grow their company cost effectively. Some companies have decided that it is best to outsource some functions to third parties to allow internal resources to focus more time on strategic issues. It is safe to say that companies today are constantly examining their HR function with a goal of figuring out best practices and best allocation of time. HR deals with many issues, but probably the biggest challenges facing HR Departments today are Recruitment, Retention & Motivation, Generational Changes in the Workforce, Leadership Development and Corporate Culture. As HR works to move to a more strategic role, addressing these issues has become a continual and time consuming process.
