This is a really interesting article about how one company has 'done away with HR'.  Not sure I'm completely convinced - what do you all think?

  • It's an interesting article Jackie and it seems most of the HR activities that are being automated are process driven. I wonder what Klick would do if they needed strategic HR input. Perhaps they'd buy in a consultant?
    Like you I'm not entirely convinced, but I do think it's a wake up call for HR to get clear on the strategic value it offers and to communicate that clearly to their customers.
