How good HR practices pay off and provides a method for showing the payoff, behavioral costing. Yet HR is notorious for getting no respect in the business (or government or not-for-profit) world. The article, “Why We Hate HR” -- http://www.fastcompany.com/53319/why-we-hate-hr -- is getting old, but seems to represent the sentiments of many. The article has been updated with "Why We (Shouldn't) Hate HR" at http://blogs.hbr.org/taylor/2010/06/why_we_shouldnt_hate_hr.html. A proposed solution is found in “It’s Time to Redesign HR” at http://www.bersin.com/blog/post/Its-Time-to-Redesign-HR.aspx.

Is this lack of regard still a problem? If so, what do we do about it? Do you agree with the sentiments expressed in "Why We (Shouldn't) Hate HR?" Analyze the Bersin article and tell us your thoughts.
