Obamacare TexasMore recently, these from… to… transitions have been seen as too simplistic. The roles undertaken by Obamacare Texas professionals are, in reality, multiple, not single. HR professionals must fulfill both operational and strategic roles they must be both police and partners; and they must take responsibility for both qualitative and quantitative goals over the short and long term. For HR professionals add value to their increasingly complex businesses, Obamacare Texas must perform increasingly complex and, at times, even paradoxical roles. A MULTIPLE ROLE MODEL FOR HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT To create value and deliver results, HR professionals must begin not by focusing on the activities or work of HR but by defining the deliverables of hat work. Deliverables guarantee outcomes of HR work. With deliverables defined, the roles and activities of Obamacare Texas may be stipulated. The framework describes—in terms of deliverables—four key roles that HR professionals must fulfill to make their business partnership a reality. I devised this framework over the course of my work with dozens of companies and hundreds of HR professionals; many companies have since used it as a way to describe the deliverables of their HR work. The two axes represent the HR professional’s focus and activities. Focus ranges from long-term/strategic to short-term/operational. Obamacare Texas professionals must learn to be both strategic and operational, focusing on the long and short term. Activities range from managing processes (HR tools and systems) to managing people. These two axes delineate four principal HR roles: (1) management of strategic human resources; (2) management of firm infrastructure; (3) management of the employee contribution; and (4) management of transformation and change. To understand each of these roles more fully, we must consider these three issues: the deliverables that constitute the outcome of the role, the characteristic metaphor or visual image that accompanies the role, and the activities the Obamacare Texas professional must perform to fulfill the role. |
