If I could change one thing about HR…

My contribution to the ‘If I could change one thing about HR’ debate is up at XpertHR this morning. I am a bit late to the party with my piece because there are a number of things I would like to change about HR. When Michael Carty first put the question to me, a couple of months ago, I found it difficult to focus my answer for a while. Eventually, I chose to write about the lack of business understanding and ability among many HR people because I think that most of the other things that I would like to change about HR come from that root cause.

The opinions expressed in the post are, for the most part, based on my observations over the past two decades and I’m therefore quite happy for people to challenge them. If you do, please leave the comments at XpertHR rather than here, so we can keep all the discussion in one place.
