The crux
• Technology is providing efficient solutions to all transaction-related HR issues
(which 50 to 60 % of HR staff performed earlier) and this one-time cost is
being capitalized in certain cases.
• HR outsourcing & HR technology platforms tend to be more cost effective for
all organizations and is slowly replacing the previous concept of using a huge
HR staff.
• Trained HR professionals may thus have to graduate to new roles such
as HR analyst, business analysts or system implementation specialists

Employees are perfectly capable of creating & updating
their personal data
It is typically thought that HR is only needed to deal with
labour disputes & manage employee unions
CEOs are uncomfortable expanding the HR department
when it means recurring and increasing costs every year
The focus is to create a loyal workforce and CEOs do not see how a qualified HR
resource fits in his/her business setup
