The Dumbing-Down and Selling Out of Corporate Human Resources: A Strategic Challenge to Organizations and their Leaders

Abstract

Virgil Berry Jr

Few business functions have been subjected to more political change or controversy than Human Resources. Brand Voice/ADP conducted a study that reported on the “State of Human Resources” with disappointing results. This article serves to provide one explanation of what is behind those results and how recent changes in the HR function have only served to fail leaders and their organizations.
