seperating the inseparable

The genesis for  hr functions' starts with business strategies, in profit oriented organisations, its connectivity need to be maintained from one position , normally the HR function head representing the management people resources for the business strategy. While one can understand the need for splitting fucntions under different levels down below, what appears odd is having another head on one of the people management functions, be it L&D and Organisation development or CSR in the same level as HR head connecting to business strategy is damaging. But that is what we see these days in many organisation and later end up in working with cross objectives confusing employees in general. It is essential that all sub functions of people management need to confluence at  a single position having scope and intent to address any aspects relating to people 'resource' instrumental for the business objective. Splitting that focal point  based on advices from consultants is like playing into the hands of commercial needs of such consultancy organizations. It will surely serve their business interests..!
