Only when HR has a moderating effect on the business does its worth improve. This phrase would be perplexing unless you did your homework. Let’s have a look at some more supporting routines. Consider the financial sector. The finance function does not either make or spend money. Operations (the principal activity of the firm) generates and spends money. Finance establishes procedures to manage how a business makes and spends money. They bring Professional Knowledge to the table for this purpose.

HR will offer value when it develops techniques to “getting results from people” in collaboration with other departments. Once this is decided upon with the professional contributions of HR, the HR function will help the operation and other functions in carrying out the agreed-upon plan of action and obtaining outcomes from people in order to achieve overall business results. HR, as people specialists, will assist other managers and step in if “getting results from people” becomes a difficult chore.

The moderating effect occurs when HR identifies what people do to create business results and creates an encouraging influence through MRM/HRD initiatives. Influencing thus, is moderation.

Figuring out how to achieve this efficiently is our contribution to your business.
