Red herring in Human Resources
The piece went on to suggest that human resource management (HRM) could be outsourced to a recruitment company. The inherent assumption is that HRM is the best way to manage people. This is something that has never been proved and something I've researched in much detail for my second satirical look at management, entitled HRM The Tower of Babble.
Recently FÁS published a large supplement in the national newspapers profiling companies that had been successful in its HRM initiative, the Excellence Through People (ETP) programme.
