  • The article describes the automation of workflow, identifying bottlenecks and tracking people's activity. They haven't automated HR, they have automated the line manager's job. Then they go on to say that they still have people for "a learning team and a culture team" - that's HR. What I conclude from this article is that Canadians have a very different definition of HR.
