HR departments provide much more than internal services like recruitment and employee development. The effective ones also contribute to companies’ general decision making processes regarding working conditions and culture - ensuring further company growth. However, to guarantee company development, it’s critical that employees are provided with the space and tools to organize not only their work load, but also other commitments like team management and project management.

There needs to be a significant amount of industry change to fully address the departmental shortcomings on this front.
