As new trends in business operations take hold, the need for a redefined human resource department, including what it should look like and what functions it should perform, seems imminent. HR departments are moving toward a stronger involvement in strategic decision‐making and an attunement between a worker's and an organization's needs and the worker's work‐life balance. The result of this new HRD‐focused perception will be the hiring of new workers with a consideration of current and future needs and a streamlining of processes and applicable skills.
