An increasing number of companies are asking their human resources (HR) functions to assume larger and more strategic roles—without increasing costs. To meet these demands, many HR functions are moving to hybrid frameworks that include centralized and decentralized services. In advanced frameworks, an organization's HR function operates shared services for administrative, transactional and programmatic activities.
