Yes, the students seemed to feel companies are treating HR like policy police and that HR isn't able or willing to do anything about it. They didn't like the feeling they got from internships and summer jobs in HR that they had no scope to do anything creative. Now, you might not as a junior marketing person, but you certainly imagine that's either temporary till you get promoted or at least you're part of a team that does creative stuff - but they couldn't seem to see that as a possibility in HR roles at all. I do. In fact I think it's essential that HR sees itself that way from now on. I think it was a sad comment on the HR departments they were part of, however, that they couldn't inspire these young workers. Good quote, Craig.

Jack Welch says that giving the CFO a key strategic role while putting HR in charge of rules and compliance is like a baseball team putting a higher profile on its accountant than on its talent scouts. Yet many companies seem to do that. Hi Dave,
