The Boom of HR

The evolution of HR has taken a steep curve,

Deeply entrenched in the manufacturing mayhem it was compliance driven and required people

#Who were authoritative and could force their way

#Who knew the legal system

#Finally who could handle the unions and make sure the compliances are done and if strikes occur then to solve it

This was mostly the scenario till 1990's till the IT revolution and service sector boom happened in India. Suddenly people were operating from a higher level they were not shopfloor workmen or they had union to resort to when they felt unhappy they just had one technique "Leave The Organization" and there was huge gap which we as HR could not fulfill.

We started drawing the Ire of people and we were concerned from being the most important people to now being support function a lot of ego's got trampled and got crushed under the weight of expectation which people have.

I think its time we realized that the Boom in services sector ask for a drastic measure of the Hr systems

HR should not totally be the sympathetic character but the one who rewards the best and drains out the worst. No organization wants leftovers thus it has moved from centralized to an extent outsourced.

More and more organizations have started developing a shared services center where the transactional work is done. thus the bottom line is clear unless we improve ourselves it doom time.
