This article examines how the General Electric Company builds and develops its human resource organization. The Company believes that the HR function is a critical player in driving GE's business agenda and therefore must be staffed by very high quality individuals. The article presents the three‐prong approach that GE takes to build its HR Team and provides a model for other organizations wishing to enhance the quality of their HR function. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
