2. To be true strategic partner, does HR need to take on a more generalized or specialized

vi y re

approach to its work? Why?

Ans: Human Resource professional is an individual in an organization who is typically in charge

of planning, directing and coordinating organizations administrative functions. Their duties
ed d

include recruiting and hiring, compensation and benefits and training and development for
ar stu

employees.

The role of the HR function within organization has transformed within the past few years from
an administrative to a strategic partner. As strategic partners, the HR function develops human
is

capital practices, programs and policies that support the organization's strategy through change
Th

management, execution of strategy, and an advocate for the employees. As HR assumes these
roles, along with lending human capital expertise and agility, it is necessarily that HR takes on a
more generalized approach to its work as opposed to the more specialized approach in order for
the HR function to adopt to the needs of the business units that they support and become a more
sh

strategic partner.
