The Future for Human Resource Professionals

Abstract

It is argued that because human resource (HR) professionals are out of fashion in Australia, HR functions are being disbanded, distributed or depleted as a result of takeovers, restructuring, company financial losses and funding cuts. The attitude of a HR professional when joining an organisation is discussed, what he/she should take a careful look at within the structure, and the sort of HR professional – technician, manager and strategist – he/she can choose to be are examined.
