Overview

In many organizations HR, as a function, is not invited to sit at the decision-making table and participate in designing and implementing corporate strategies. The main reason behind this is top management’s perception of HR as a lower value function compared to other functions in the organization, and its belief that HR professionals are not adequately equipped with the necessary skills and competencies to play that all-important strategic role.
