My company has a new policy that all line managers should be human resource managers. They say since all managers are all engaged daily in the process of managing people and have all the new line managers form a partnership with HR. What do you guys think of this policy, I don't know how sucessful it will be.

This is not a new concept.
It has been practised by a number of companies, successfully.
I have been associated with at least 130 cos, where the line
managers manage the hr of their people.
HR EXISTS, AS A SUPPORTING UNIT.
The ROLE / RESPONSIBILITIES OF HR / LINE MANAGERS
NEEDS TO BE DEFINED, VERY CLEARLY, BY
THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT.
NORMALLY, if your section works in a supportive role, that
means on all important matters, the LINE MANAGERS
decision is final.
As part of the change, in your corporation, a few things needs
to be done
-EMPOWERMENT OF THE LINE MANAGERS.
-CLEAR DEFINITION OF THE ROLES/RESPONSIBILITIES.
-PEOPLE MANAGEMENT SKILLS PORGRAM FOR THE LINE MANAGERS.

The line managers already have a final say
in the HRM PROCESSES.

IN THIS WAY, THE ROLES / RESPONSIBILITIES MUST
BE STATED CLEARLY FOR HR/LINE MANAGERS.
IF the HRM is well qualified/ experienced and carries a
HIGH PROFILE , HRM can influence / persuade the
LINE MANAGERS in almost all decisions.
IF the LINE MANAGERS have more influence/ weights in
the organization, as well as personality wise,
THE LINE MANAGERS WILL RUN OVER HRM.
FROM THE ABOVE ANALYSIS, you will see that a
number of factors influence the ROLE / RESPONSIBILITIES.
YOU SHOULD GET YOUR CEO/ SENIOR MANAGEMENT
TO CLEARLY DEFINE THE ROLES AND LEAVE NO
ROOM FOR INTERPRETATION.

Hi,
This is a concept in vogue for long and for good reason. Managers who are leading a Team of Employees, and are responsible for Organisation Results, have to be Hr Managers, in their own right. This has become more relevant, with the growth of IT and Service Sectors. HR Professionals could relax, as the task of building Line Managers as People Managers has its own challenges, and Corporations would need hard core HR guys to facilitate this Skill Building.
