Reinventing Human Resources Choosing To Become A Business At Risk!

hat's required is for HR to answer this question, "What is the core competence we lay claim to that we believe will build and sustain the business we serve?"

• The willingness to put themselves on-the-line by promising real business impact and backing those promises with a guarantee.

• Recognizing individual HR professionals must come to terms with demands to build their expertise.
