As the Vice President of HR in this organization, there are several key points I would emphasize to
demonstrate the value of maintaining a centralized HR department and my role within it:
Talent Acquisition and Retention: HR is responsible for hiring great talent for any organization and HR
play a significant role in retaining qualified candidates within an organization. HR plays a significant role
in employer branding as they are considered a face for any organization, and this helps to promote and
hire great talent withing an organization
Risk Management and Compliance: HR is responsible for ensuring compliance with employment laws
and regulations, managing legal risks, and protecting the organization from potential liabilities. A
centralized HR function can provide expertise in navigating complex legal requirements, reducing the
risk of costly lawsuits or penalties.
Employee Development and Engagement: HR play a significant role in creating a succession ladder
which helps any organization to develop and grow their internal talent. HR play s a significant role in
engaging the internal talent with various surveys and other activities to bridge the GAP between with
the leadership teams and employees
Employee Relations: HR play a significant role in employee relations and grievances. They can be one
point of contact for any issue that an employee faces in at their work or with the role they are currently
doing. This gives the employees a sense of belonging that they can be heard and the a solution can be
reached
Culture and Values: HR Plays a significant role in managing the culture and making sure the
organization’s values are upheld. HR works and get talent into the organization based on the culture and
the values shared. This department can play in pivotal role in diversity and make sure the talent we have
is diverse and can reinforce the culture from within
Cost Savings: If there is a centralized HR department, it can be helpful that there might cost savings
since the team can work on better vendor contracts, hire right talent, bring cost savings in the
organization by making sure there is no legal conflicts and there is a standardized process throughout
Overall outsourcing may have short term cost savings but setting up a centralized HR department it will
help the organization to align human capital with organizational objectives, mitigate risks, foster
employee development and engagement, and promote a positive workplace culture. By demonstrating
the impact of HR on key business outcomes, I would make a compelling case for the continued
investment in and importance of the HR function within the organization.
