Human Resource Champions issues a challenge to HR define the value you create and institute measures for your performance, or face the inevitable outsourcing of your function. Ulrich identifies four distinct roles that human resources staff must assume-strategic player, administrative expert, employee champion, and change agent. He provides hands-on tools that show HR professionals how they can operate in all four areas simultaneously and offers specific recommendations for partnering with line managers to deliver value and make their organizations more competitive.

A good reference for HR professionals. This is influential thinking that is still applicable. The case studies feel dated, but then again Ulrich has more recent material and research. Most of the core material is available in various formats for free or as shorter articles now that this book is almost 20 years old, but it is still worthwhile having this all in one place. Don't expect to find a lot of fancy tools and implementation plans; you have to do the heavy lifting yourself.
La verdad me gustó mucho, es el primer libro que me encargan en una clase de negocios que realmente lo leo completo porque me gusta. Lo disfruté y me hizo reflexionar sobre mi carrera, de una manera positiva. Definitivamente voy por el camino correcto.
