transactional functions for example. HR call centers are being
utilized, benefits are being outsourced to specialized companies,
training departments are being outsourced, and the majority of
employee- relations activities are available on the company
intranet. This raises the question of what value does HR bring to
the organization if organizations outsource all the functions?

cultures, therefore HR professionals are being asked to assist in building
line organizations that are adaptable, creative and open to new ways
of doing business.,
