It's time to split HR
作者认为首席人力资源官通常不具备向CEO提供商业建议的能力,建议将企业人力资源部分为两个独立单元:一个处理行政事务,另一个专注于人力资本能力,由运营或财务背景的人员组成。
The author maintains that chief human resources (HR) officers are generally unequipped to provide business advice to chief executives, and argues that corporate HR offices should be reconfigured into two separate units. One unit would deal with administrative HR issues, while the other would focus more on a firm's human-capital capabilities and be staffed with people from operations or finance. Bill Conaty of conglomerate General Electric was among the few outstanding HR heads he has met.
