1. Why do you think it is important for HR to be a strategic partner to the business?
2. What benefits do you think the employees derive from this arrangement?
3. What do you think are the risks involved (to HR and the organization as a whole) if HR does not make this a priority and instead remains a purely task-oriented department mostly administrative in nature?
