Lebanon, NJ (PRWEB) June 26, 2009 -- Pilat HR Solutions announced today that on Tuesday, June 30 at the SHRM Annual Conference in New Orleans, Clinton Wingrove, EVP and Principal Consultant, will be presenting the case for HR renewal in his seminar, "Why Destroy HR".

The alarm is sounded worldwide for businesses to batten down the hatches and become even more "fiscally responsible". Among the most vulnerable departments effected is HR. In over 60% of all organizations that are out-placing, downsizing, rightsizing, resource optimizing - in other words, cutting jobs - HR is the first department to experience cuts.

This seminar will challenge HR to see the current economic situation as a wake-up call and yet a real opportunity for HR - (1) to reflect on lessons learned that have been lost due to a deluge of populist thinking, (2) to rate its own actions and learn from the mistakes it has made, and (3) to renew itself into "being the business", not merely aligning with, oversimplifying or renaming aspects of it. Clinton will alert HR to the dangers of its current course and encourage HR to visit unexplored territory and realize its true potential for impacting business performance and outcomes.

"Organizations and functions get locked into habits, structure, and patterns." Clinton said, "They optimistically and at risk to themselves believe that incremental change and mere refurbishment will achieve sustainable impact when it often only masks the real issues at hand. Typically, it takes trauma or external intervention to achieve sustainable step-change; but, it doesn't have to be that way!"
