HR’s role in organizational effectiveness

HR leaders need to see their role as one of building and valuing personal networks that bolster their organization’s effectiveness.

This paper discusses three primary ways that HR departments can bolster their organization’s effectiveness, namely, harnessing social power, empowering alpha employees, and influencing organizational design.

These three focuses will give HR leaders’ opportunities to further contribute to the overall effectiveness of the organization.

In the conceptual literature, the author’s own viewpoints and other ideas are weaved together to present a unique perspective on HR’s role in creating effective organizations.
