HR is one of the specialised roles in organisations. Unfortunately, like Accountants, they focus inwardly, their job, their role, their department. They don't look beyond their nose. Precisely for this reason, these days, a new terms has been coined - HR Business Partner, in order to enable HR to look outwardly, involve in policy formulation, business focus, financial evaluation, interest in technical matters and so on. Day is not far off, when more HR people become CEOs or COOs. !
