The out of date approach says that HR is visible and controlling, requiring the rest of the organisation to follow policies developed within the HR function. The up to date approach is that HR facilitates and supports assisting the management team in efforts to improve productivity and commitment. HR is at the centre of change but change is handled by and through the management team. In this way change is more effective and longer lasting. However, this approach requires a new type of HR function with new practices and a series of new skills within the HR team. This Human Resources Development & Personnel Management training Course will give you the confidence to develop a new sort of HR function; show you a new approach and help you with learning the new practices and skills.
