There are eight separate HR functions and activities that were discussed at the beginning of this topic. How must an organization view these functions to make them more productive?

Correct answer: (A)

As a unit


In analyzing the eight separate HR functions and activities, it is important to view them independently as well as together, because many HR functions are directly influenced by each other. When looking at them independently, we must always be aware that each individual part is connected to the other functions. All HR functions and activities operate within the constraints of the internal and external environment. As such, all eight functions should be viewed as a unit, necessarily interrelated, and subject to a multitude of forces and events that help shape an organization’s HR policies.
