Conclusion:

The way businesses operate have changed tremendously over the past few years and consequently, the role of the HR department. In such a scenario, HR professionals are

required to quickly scale up and the department as a whole, needs to make the transition from that of a mere

administrative ‘doer' to that of a 'strategic business partner'.Finding the right people and then managing them effectively in an organisation has become a bigger

challenge. If an organisation does not give the required importance to

HR, it cannot succeed.
