SOCIETY
Issue #426
8 Dec 2024
Spoiler alert: this will be a challenging read for most of us here. Pamela Dow - lifelong career civil servant, formerly Exec Director of the Cabinet Office and now COO of Civic Future, pens a critique of the HR function, connecting its growth with UK’s poor economic performance. Some of this rings true - maybe too much - especially as we begin to understand the nature of social organisation as ultimately a competition for status and resources. Whether you are pro or anti-HR, this is worth your read. H/T to brainfooders Alexandra Depledge and Andrea Kirby for the share.
