Why We Love to Hate HR ... And What HR Can Do About It

Greetings,
Here's a link to an interesting article from the Harvard Business Review regarding human resource management:

This article is accessible to SUNY Old Westbury Students and Faculty.  If you're not affiliated with SUNY Old Westbury, the Harvard Business Review does offer some access options:

Apparently, human resources is one of those areas that some people love to hate.  It's not always that way, though.  According to the Harvard Business Review, much of this animosity has something to do with economic conditions.  When the economy improves, there's a definite emphasis on retaining quality employees.  During an economic recession or depression, it's a different story.

Until next time, catch me in the library.
