Personally, I think HR should absolutely stop being an employee?s advocate. It?s too much like asking a policeman to also be your therapist. We know HR?s loyalty first and foremost is to management, so let?s everyone stop pretending that HR is your ?friend.? HR ideally should be a combination of Legal and Accounting as applied to personnel policy, compensation, and compliance. Set aside Training and OD as a separate unit. And who is left to be the employee advocate? Well, at best it should be level 3 management, or the employees themselves. At worst, the unions. How to fix HR?
