HR balancing act - business partner / employee advocate

Hello, A question of a novice: I would love to hear arguments/view points for and against the unitarist approach of HRM. How does this approach support you as a HR professional? How do you balance your role as a Business Partner and Employee Advocate at the same time? Thank you!

  • Hi Karin, I'm also curious to know what your thoughts are. Interesting to see the use of the word 'unitarist', I wonder where that came from. Apparently this is a word referred to by Alan Price in his book 'Human Resource Management' . Perhaps there needs to be some clarity over 'support' and what that means although I would agree HRM is there to guide, advise and uphold the legal aspects of employment as well as adopting a pragmatic approach to handling employee issues.
