ARE CONSULTANTS ENABLING OR DISABLING THE PERSONNEL FUNCTION?

Abstract

Personnel managers are increasingly using consultants to make the development of human resources more efficient. There are risks involved, however, as consultants who are poorly selected and briefed, with their activities neither monitored nor reinforced, can disable the training effort in an organisation. Personnel managers need to be both knowledgeable and skilled if they are to make good use of this potentially valuable contribution.
