Strategic placement of human resources

The human resource department including its roles and configuration can vary widely from company to company. This variation can be a function of the size of the company, the industry of the company and the strategic placement of human resources.

  • Considering this please address the following prompts in your discussion.
    • Is there a minimum level or configuration for human resources department? How does this minimum level vary based on the size of the organization and industry?
    • After acknowledging this minimum level, is the organization missing out on benefits that could be had with a larger or more active department? Is there a point of diminishing returns?
