Getting HR Into The Situation Room

Human resources staffers are paid to be the bridge between senior management and rank-and-file employees in many areas. But, according to a survey by Staffing.org some in HR say they don't have enough input into big company decisions to play their role effectively.

About 37 percent of those surveyed count themselves "very satisfied" with their participation in planning, and a similar chunk are moderately satisfied. But about 22 percent are either not very or not at all satisfied.

HR workers at companies with more than 5,000 employees are more likely to be dissatisfied, with 35 percent in that camp. At small companies the number is just 13 percent. Only 27 percent of government HR employees are very satisfied, while a full 63 percent in the telecommunications field are.

Staffing.org says that to fully integrate HR into the decision-making process companies need to deal with a number of issues, including defining chains of command, determining how to use data and, sometimes, changing elements of a company's culture.
