Helping Or Hindering Progress?

This is of great assurance at times, when line managers want to be certain that the decisions they take are ‘safe’ from the labour relations point of view.

But there are times when line feels like HR is a hindrance, especially when employment policy and process prescribes various steps to be taken before a decision is made, and where the decision is made, that it has to be aligned with a certain structural consideration, all against the attitude of a manager who feels that he or she is definitely sure of what he or she wants to do and that it is a waste of resources to go through the motions just to satisfy HR.
