Once a strategic direction has been established and HRM's effectiveness evaluated, leaders of the HRM function can explore how to improve its effectiveness in contributing to the firm's competitiveness. HRM needs to improve both the efficiency and effectiveness in performing each of the activities. Often there is a push to eliminate as much of the transactional work as possible (and some of the traditional work)to free up time and resources to focus more on the higher-value-added transformational work. Redesign of the structure (reporting relationships)and processes (through outsourcing and information technology)enables the function to achieve these goals simultaneously.
