HRM Managers Should Function Like Business Managers

• HRM managers are no more like internal consultants or only staff people, they have to work like any other business manager just as sales managers, marketing managers or finance managers etc do. They should start acting like line managers.
• HRM departments are no more the cost centers. They are also profit centers of an organization.
• HRM executives should learn to become business and commerce savvy.
• HRM managers should also develop an external environment orientation in addition to being internally oriented.
