Todays economy is starting to breathe new life in to HR personnel.  The new HR is now more interactive with employees and are contributing more to managers and the organizational strategy. Five  to ten years ago saw the decline in HR as a valued department and more of a "pencil and paper pushing" department with very little to contribute to the overall organizations strategy.  With the recession more and more companies are relying on the HR department to sift through thousands of resumes to chose the right talent for the job, recruiters are relied upon to find talent and valued employees for companies.

Will this trend continue? as the economy continues to grow so will the HR department and the value they add to the overall strategy of the organization.  They can assist in the direction and overall goal if organizations utilize the vast experience they have acquired over the recession and knowledge they contribute in trends.
